Suicide/Legends



Suicide was the deliberate termination of one's life by one's own hand. Sentient beings committed suicide for a number of reasons. It could be brought about by the mental status of a person or by extraneous circumstances, such as cultural demands or military directives.

Suicide teeth were used by some military personnel to commit suicide and prevent capture by the enemy.

Examples

 * Jagi committed suicide after deciding not to fight Canderous Ordo to the death.
 * Xanatos, a former Padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn, committed suicide in 44 BBY, preferring to jump into a pool of acid rather than facing capture by his former master.
 * Hunti Pereg, a bounty hunter, let a thermal pool set off his thermal detonators, rather than facing Granta Omega.
 * In the same year that the Battle of Yavin took place, Bria Tharen committed suicide by taking a poison pill rather than facing capture or execution at the hands of the Imperials that had surrounded her unit.
 * In 3 BBY, after losing in a lightsaber duel with Galen Marek, Shaak Ti committed suicide by jumping into a Sarlacc.
 * Moff Sarn Shild killed himself in 4 BBY.

 * After witnessing the destruction of Supreme Overlord Shimrra Jamaane's vessel, Nas Choka gave permission for those Yuuzhan Vong who wished to commit suicide to do so. A large number of Yuuzhan Vong committed suicide, some by opening themselves with coufees, others by turning the ships they were flying into living missiles.
 * In 40 ABY, Cal Omas committed suicide by falling on Ben Skywalker's lightsaber to make the assassination attempt seem real.
