Lok Durd
"I am General Lok Durd of the Separatist Alliance. You are now under the protection of the Separatist Alliance. I congratulate you on your good fortune."

- Lok Durd

General Lok Durd was a male Neimoidian weapons developer in the Separatist Droid Army who served in the Clone Wars. During the war, he created an experimental defoliator, an artillery radiation weapon that could theoretically completely wipe out any organic matter while leaving machinery unharmed. Durd planned to do an experiment of the weapon on the planet of Maridun upon his discovery of a small Lurmen colony there. After landing on the planet and setting up a base camp, Durd tested the defoliator on a pair of battle droids successfully. He then tried to use the weapon on the colony to impress Count Dooku, the leader of the Separatist movement. However, he was interrupted by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, his Togruta apprentice Ahsoka Tano, and Twi'lek Jedi Knight Aayla Secura, who had crash landed on the planet prior to Durd's arrival. Using shield generators they had captured from the Separatist base camp, the Jedi were able to block Durd's defoliator by surrounding the Lurmen village with a deflector shield, and Durd was captured by the Jedi following a brief battle.

First Battle of the Graveyard
"Before Alderaan was destroyed by the Death Star, Bail Organa had made a list of locations the Alliance could operate from in the event we lost our base on Yavin IV. He encrypted the information in a data holocron encased in phrik, one of the strongest substances in the galaxy. Strong enough even to have survived Alderaan's destruction. We needed that holocron, that information was vital to the Alliance."

- Col Serra to Tionne Solusar

The First Battle of the Graveyard was a space battle between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire in the Graveyard, the remains of Alderaan after it was destroyed by the Death Star in 0 BBY during the Galactic Civil War. Shortly after the destruction of that Death Star in the Battle of Yavin, a Rebel fleet centered around Renegade Squadron, a recently established Alliance squadron made up of smugglers and criminals, attempted to secure a very valuable data holocron believed to have survived the destruction of Alderaan. The Alliance fleet, under the command of Han Solo, believed the holocron contained ideal locations for a new base for the Alliance. Likewise, the Empire wanted the holocron to suit their own ends. Upon arrival in the system, Solo's fleet found themselves opposed by an Imperial fleet, as well as by the bounty hunter Boba Fett, who had been hired by the Empire to capture the holocron.

After a brief battle between the two forces, the Renegades were able to find and secure the data holocron. After they did so, Fett, aboard his personal starfighter Slave I, tried to steal the holocron by engaging the Rebels in a dogfight. The Rebels were able to defeat the bounty hunter, and destroyed the gravity well projectors on an Imperial Interdictor Star Destroyer which was keeping the Alliance fleet trapped in the system. The Alliance retreated from the system, and later used the holocron to find the graveyard planet of Boz Pity, where they built a new base.

Defender (Venator-class)
"I decided the only way we can break the blockade is if I pilot the Defender right into their battleship and take out their commander.''" "What?" "This way, I'm the only one at risk. Besides, the Defender'' is damaged already."

- Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano

The Defender was a Venator-class Star Destroyer that served in the Grand Army of the Republic's navy during the Clone Wars. In 21 BBY, the planet of Ryloth was seized by the Separatists, and a large Confederate fleet, under the command of the Neimoidian Captain Mar Tuuk, blockaded the world. The Defender was dispatched in a Republic task force under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, to eliminate the Confederate blockade.

Upon the arrival of the Defender and its fellow Star Destroyers, the Resolute and the Redeemer, in the Ryloth system, Tuuk was able to lure the Republic forces into a trap. The Confederate captain's summoning of reinforcements forced the cruisers to retreat, but not before the Resolute and the Defender had sustained damage and the Redeemer was destroyed altogether. Regrouping, Skywalker devised a plan to pilot the heavily damaged Defender into Tuuk's lead ship, leaving Tano to command the Resolute and eliminate the remaining frigates in the blockade. Skywalker and his astromech droid, R2-D2, piloted the Defender into the system and put it on course before fleeing in an escape pod, and the cruiser destroyed Tuuk's flagship when it collided with the bridge.

Ikvizi
"Please&hellip;I need your help&hellip;" "I don't have a habit of assisting criminals." "That's good, since I'm not a criminal. I was unjustly imprisoned."

- Ikvizi, attempting to convince a spacer to help him

Ikvizi was a male Geonosian scientist who worked at the old Geonosian research station on Yavin 4 a few years before the Battle of Yavin. After he left the station, Ikvizi journeyed to the city of Kachirho on the planet Kashyyyk to study the Wookiees. A short time after the destruction of the Death Star, a group of Trandoshan slavers framed Ikvizi for a crime, because he had found their base in the forests where they tortured their Wookiee slaves. While he was in the Kachirho prison, he came upon a spacer who agreed to help the captive Geonosian get out of the mess. After Ikvizi was freed from jail, he gave the spacer a handsome reward.

Battle of Korriban (Galactic Civil War)
"It was a crazy, foolhardy mission. Every member of Renegade Squadron volunteered without question."

- Col Serra, telling Tionne Solusar about the battle

The Battle of Korriban occurred during the Galactic Civil War, shortly before the Alliance attack on the Empire's new superweapon, the second Death Star, at Endor. The battle started when Renegade Squadron&mdash;the Rebel Alliance's elite fighting unit founded by General Han Solo&mdash;attacked the Sith planet of Korriban. Under the command of Commander Col Serra, Renegade Squadron hoped to capture data concerning the Death Star from Emperor Palpatine&mdash;the ruler of the Galactic Empire which controlled much of the galaxy&mdash;while he was visiting the planet. After a brief battle, Renegade Squadron was able to capture a data holocron from the Emperor's shuttle. The battle was considered to be one of the most dangerous and challenging that Renegade Squadron had ever faced, and Serra would later recount the battle to Jedi archivist Tionne Solusar, years after the fall of the Empire.

Mission to Mos Eisley (Galactic Civil War)
"Chances were the captured crew were dead or sold as slaves already, but nobody on Renegade Squadron believed in abandoning good men."

- Col Serra, telling Tionne Solusar about the battle years later

This mission occurred during the Galactic Civil War in 0 ABY when the Rebel Alliance discovered that a group of Rebels, captured by the Mandalorian bounty hunter Boba Fett, had been sold as slaves to the Hutt Cartel in Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine. The Alliance assigned their new elite fighting force, Renegade Squadron&mdash;formed by the smugglers-turned-rebels General Han Solo and Commander Col Serra&mdash;the mission of rescuing the prisoners. The local Imperial garrison attempted to stop the Rebels from freeing their comrades, but the squadron was able to save the prisoners, and at first the mission was thought to be a success and a miracle rescue on the part of Renegade Squadron. It later turned out, however, that Fett had actually placed a tracking device in a R5 astromech droid the Rebels had taken with them, leading the Imperials back to the their new base on Boz Pity. Serra would later recount this battle to Jedi Knight Tionne Solusar for her archives years later after the defeat of the Empire and the formation of the New Republic. (Read more...)

HOB-147
"I knew you were tough."

- Nia, whispering to HOB-147 after he saved her and her friends' lives

HOB-147 was a male Human clone pilot who flew a V-19 Torrent starfighter for Light Brigade Division in the Grand Army of the Republic. He was shot down in a space battle during the Clone Wars, but survived in his starfighter, and floated through space, unconscious. Shortly after Order 66&mdash;one of the GAR's 150 contingency orders that instructed the clone forces to eliminate all Jedi&mdash;was issued, he was rescued by the junk salvager Hurd Coyle. Order 66 began the Great Jedi Purge, the near-eradication of the Jedi Order, which allowed the then Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to reorganize the Republic into the Galactic Empire and declare himself Galactic Emperor.

After being rescued, 147 first assumed that the salvager was working for the Separatists when he saw re-programmed battle droids working throughout the ship, and found a group of Jedi younglings in the ship's cargo bay. Believing that Coyle had kidnapped them, 147 was surprised to discover that Hurd Coyle was in fact transporting the younglings to the Outer Rim in order to save them from the new Galactic Empire. 147 then decided to disobey Order 66, and did not inform his fellow clones that Coyle was transporting the children.

Shiv (clone trooper)
"Hey, get that. Ol' Shiv has the shivers. Heh."

- Shiv, in a letter to Flanker

Shiv was the nickname of a clone cold assault trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. During the war between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems, Shiv enjoyed writing to fellow clone trooper Flanker, even after Flanker's death during the Battle of Christophsis. In 22 BBY, Shiv and his squad were assigned to Glid Station on the ice planet of Orto Plutonia to field-test an assortment of subzero gear. While on the planet, his squad encountered an elusive and dangerous species they nicknamed the "ice men". The creatures killed any of the clone patrols they encountered. Shiv and his commander, Mag, were later killed by the ice men while inspecting one of the station's outer sensors. After this, the rest of the clones stationed in Glid Station, along with all the battle droids at the nearby CIS base, were killed by the "ice men".

The Republic later sent a task team lead by Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, along with Chairman Chi Cho and Senator Riyo Chuchi from the orbiting moon of Pantora, to investigate what had happened to Glid Station. The Jedi's research found that the "ice men" were actually a colony of Talz. They also discovered that the Talz had been attacked by the Separatists, and in the resulting conflict, the Republic base was caught in the middle. (Read more...)

Francis
Francis, nicknamed "Francis the pink Wookiee" for his uniquely decorated armor, was a male Wookiee bounty hunter who joined Renegade Squadron&mdash;an elite fighting unit of the Rebel Alliance created by former smugglers and composed of fringers with Rebel sympathies&mdash;during the Galactic Civil War. In his tenure with the Rebellion, he fought at the Battle of Endor and flew a T-65 X-wing starfighter that was also painted pink. (Read more...) {| width="100%" style="background: transparent; "

Ovarra
"For stopping these evil schemes, we are all in your debt, [PC's name]. I will send out a patrol to the area to make sure that no more of their research material is out there. You should tell the Geonosian the good news."

- Ovarra, talking to a spacer

Ovarra was a female Wookiee elder who lived in the city of Kachirho on the planet Kashyyyk. Sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Ovarra was one of the judges at the trial of Ikvizi, a Geonosian scientist who had been framed by a group of Trandoshan slavers of planning heinous crimes against the Wookiees. During the trial, Ikvizi hired a spacer to prove his innocence. The spacer was able to find documents in the slavers' camp proving Ikvizi innocent, and returned these documents to Ovarra. After examining the evidence, Ovarra decided that Ikvizi was innocent of most of his crimes, except for the fact that Ikvizi had bribed a guard to let him examine a Wookiee corpse. However, Ovarra said she would ensure that Ikvizi would receive a lenient sentence. (Read more...)

Kite
"I just hope whatever it is we're facing is planetside, sir. I'd rather die with dirt, not deckplates, under my boots."

- Kite

Kite was the nickname for a clone trooper commander in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. In 22 BBY, he was assigned to the Venator-class Star Destroyer Laudable under the command of the Phuii Jedi General Ares Nune. Nune's forces had been dispatched to the Phu system to patrol for any Separatist activity in the area. While Kite was talking to Nune on the bridge of the Laudable, the task force was attacked by the Malevolence, a Confederacy warship equipped with two giant ion pulse cannons on each of its sides. Under the command of Confederacy General Grievous, the Malevolence destroyed the shields of the entire fleet with the ion cannons. After doing so, the ship proceeded to destroy Nune's entire task force, using its turbolasers to obliterate the exposed ships, and eliminating General Nune, Kite, and their forces.

Braha'tok
The Braha'tok was a Braha'tok-class gunship, under the command of Kiles L'toth, in the Dornean Navy. In 4 ABY, during the height of the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, Dornea loaned the Braha'tok&mdash;along with its sister ship, the Torktarak&mdash;to the Alliance fleet for its attack on the second Death Star&mdash;an Imperial superweapon that could destroy entire planets&mdash;above the forest moon of Endor. During the battle, the MC80 Liberty type Star Cruiser Liberty was destroyed by the second Death Star's superlaser, and, trying to save survivors, L'toth moved the Braha'tok into a defensive formation to cover rescue craft. While providing cover, the Braha'tok engaged the Carrack-class light cruiser Eminence, and with the help of the Torktarak, it was able to destroy the Eminence. However, the Braha'tok took extensive damage during battle, and after the Alliance's victory at Endor, it was shipped back to Dornea to serve as a war museum. (Read more...)

Torktarak
The Torktarak was a Braha'tok-class gunship under the command of the Dornean Etahn A'baht in the planet Dornea's navy. In 4 ABY, during the Galactic Civil War, Dornea loaned the Torktarak, along with its sister ship, the Braha'tok, to the Rebel Alliance Fleet, which needed the ships for its upcoming assault on the second Death Star&mdash;an Imperial superweapon capable of destroying entire planets&mdash;above the Forest Moon of Endor.

During the battle, the Torktarak helped the Braha'tok fight off the Carrack-class light cruiser Eminence, a ship more than three times the size of the Torktarak. The two gunships were able to destroy the Imperial war vessel, and after the Alliance defeated the Imperial Fleet at Endor and destroyed the Death Star, the relatively unscathed Torktarak was returned to the Dornean Navy.

Around 22 BBY, the Laudable was dispatched from the Republic's galactic capital of Coruscant, under the command of the Phuii Jedi General Ares Nune, to patrol the Phu system for Separatist activity. While on patrol, the Laudable ' s task force&mdash;consisting of at least two other Star Destroyers&mdash;was attacked by the Malevolence, a Confederate warship equipped with two ion pulse cannons on each of its sides. Under the command of the Confederate General Grievous, the Malevolence took down the shields of the entire Republic fleet with its ion cannons. After doing so, the Malevolence proceeded to destroy Nune's task force, including the Laudable, using its turbolasers to obliterate the exposed ships. (Read more...)

Defender (Venator-class)
"I decided the only way we can break the blockade is if I pilot the Defender right into their battleship and take out their commander.''" "What?" "This way, I'm the only one at risk. Besides, the Defender'' is damaged already."

- Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano

The Defender was a Venator-class Star Destroyer that served in the Grand Army of the Republic's navy during the Clone Wars, between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Around 22 BBY, the planet of Ryloth was seized by the Separatists, and a large Confederate fleet, under the command of the Neimoidian Captain Mar Tuuk, was placed over the planet to blockade it. The Defender was part of the Galactic Republic's task force of three Venator-class cruisers to eliminate the Confederate blockade, led by the Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, along with the cruisers Resolute and Redeemer.

Upon the arrival of the Star Destroyers in the Ryloth system, Tuuk was able to lure the Republic forces into a trap, and Tuuk's summoning of Confederate reinforcements forced the cruisers to retreat, but not before the Resolute and Defender had sustained damage. The Redeemer was destroyed altogether under heavy fire. Regrouping, Skywalker devised a plan to pilot the heavily damaged Defender into Tuuk's lead ship, leaving Tano to command the Resolute and eliminate the remaining frigates in the blockade. Skywalker and the astromech droid R2-D2 piloted the Defender into the system, and put the Defender on course before fleeing in an escape pod. With the blockade down, the Republic's invasion forces, commanded by High Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu, were eventually able to liberate the planet.

Mag
"You're supposed to be bunking out. I want you wide awake when it's my turn to snooze."

- Mag to Shiv, on the latter being awake

Mag was the nickname of a clone cold assault trooper commander in the GAR during the series of wars fought between the Galactic Republic and the Separatists. Around 22 BBY, he and his squad were stationed at Glid Station, a Republic outpost on the ice planet of Orto Plutonia. Mag and his squad were assigned to field-test an assortment of subzero gear, including the CK-6 swoop bike. However, the squad was beset by many problems, including an elusive and deadly sentient species that they encountered, which the squad nicknamed the "ice men." The "ice men" killed any clone patrol they encountered, leaving no witnesses. One night, Mag and a clone trooper under his command, Shiv, were attacked and killed by the "ice men" while inspecting one of the station's outer sensors. After the death of Mag and Shiv, the remaining clones stationed at Glid Station were killed by the "ice men," along with all the battle droids at the nearby CIS base. The Republic later sent a search party to Orto Plutonia to investigate what had happened to Glid Station. The party discovered that the "ice men" were in fact a colony of Talz that had been attacked by the Separatists. In the resulting conflict, the Republic base was caught in the middle of the fighting between the two factions. (Read more...)

Bosbit Matarcher
"I got what I thought was a deal on this ship."

- Bosbit Matarcher, on his faulty Delemedian starhopper

Bosbit Matarcher was a male Human from the planet Delemede, who, after a relativistic shield malfunction during a brief hyperspace jump in 212 BBY, found himself nearly two hundred years in the future. This brought Matarcher brief fame, giving him a minor HoloNet News interview. However, Matacher was actually delighted because of the mishap; when he had left in 212 BBY, Delemede was dilapidated, but by the time of his return in 22 BBY, the planet was flourishing.

Ares Nune was a male Phuii Jedi Master and a general in the Grand Army of the Republic at the time of the Clone Wars. Around 22 BBY, Nune was given a task force&mdash;consisting of at least three Venator-class Star Destroyers&mdash;to patrol the Phu system for Separatist activity. While on patrol, he and Clone Commander Kite began to discuss the mission on the bridge of Nune's flagship, the Venator-class Star Destroyer Laudable. However, while they were talking, the task force was attacked by the Malevolence, a Confederate warship equipped with two giant ion pulse cannons. Under the command of the Confederate General Grievous, the Malevolence disabled the shields of the entire Republic fleet with its ion cannons and proceeded to destroy the entire task force.

Redeemer (Venator-class)
"We lost a cruiser, the Redeemer."

- Anakin Skywalker

The Redeemer was a Venator-class Star Destroyer that served in the Galactic Republic Navy during the Clone Wars, against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Around 22 BBY, the planet Ryloth was seized by the Separatists, and a large Confederate fleet, under the command of the Neimoidian Captain Mar Tuuk, blockaded the planet. The Redeemer, along with the Venator-class Star Destroyers Resolute and Defender, was part of a Republic task force led by Jedi General Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Jedi Commander Ahsoka Tano, that was dispatched to eliminate the Confederate blockade.

Upon the arrival of Skywalker's fleet in the Ryloth system, Tuuk was able to lure the Republic forces into a trap. Tuuk summoned Confederate reinforcements, forcing Skywalker to order a retreat, but not before the Resolute and Defender had sustained damage. The Redeemer, however, broke apart in space under heavy fire. (Read more...)

Bormus Testing Facility
"I'll brief everyone on the way to Bormus."

- Anakin Skywalker, to his Padawan as he leaves for the Bormus Testing Facility

The Bormus Testing Facility was a space station run by Koensayr Manufacturing that orbited the planet of Bormus. During the Clone Wars, the facility was used to build and test the BTL-B Y-wing starfighter for the Galatic Republic. Around 22 BBY, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker asked Supreme Chancellor Palpatine for permission to use the Y-wing starfighters against the Separatists' new weapon, the Subjugator-class heavy cruiser Malevolence. However, his request was denied because the fighters needed at least another three weeks of testing. Skywalker decided to personally travel to the Bormus Testing Facility&mdash;along with his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, and several of his clone pilots&mdash;and obtain the Y-wings himself. After convincing a Gran who worked at the facility to allow him to access the fighters, Skywalker and his pilots were allowed to leave with the Y-wings.

The Eminence was an aging Carrack-class cruiser that served in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. In 4 ABY, the Eminence served as part of the Imperial Fleet that defended the second Death Star during the final stages of its construction above the Forest Moon of Endor. The Rebel Alliance, having learned of the Death Star's construction and Emperor Palpatine's presence aboard the station, launched an assault on the superweapon with the intent of destroying it. During the battle, as the Imperial Navy clashed with the Alliance Fleet in ship-to-ship combat, the Eminence engaged the gunship Braha'tok, a ship less than one-third the Eminence size. However, as the Eminence closed in on the Braha'tok, the gunship's sister ship, the Torktarak, attacked the Eminence from behind, destroying the old Imperial vessel. (Read more...)

Conqueror-class atmospheric dreadnaught
"Oh, excellent&hellip;"

- Obi-Wan Kenobi, upon seeing a Conqueror-class atmospheric dreadnaught

The Conqueror-class atmospheric dreadnaught was a huge, circular repulsorlift aerial attack platform utilized by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Heavily armed with dozens of laser cannons and crewed by many battle droids, several Conqueror-class dreadnaughts were used by the Confederacy when it invaded the planet Terra Sool. At least thirty-six dreadnaughts were deployed in Terra Sool's cloudy atmosphere, fighting against the local militia and a Galactic Republic detachment sent to aid Terra Sool. Although the Conqueror-class dreadnaughts easily destroyed many of Terra Sool's militia fighters, the platforms were no match for Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who led the Republic task force. Using their powers of the Force and their mastery of starfighter combat, Kenobi and Skywalker hijacked and destroyed several Conqueror-class dreadnaughts during the battle, eventually defeating the Confederates and freeing Terra Sool.
