"Tell me how you know, Jixtus of the Grysks, […] If the Chiss mounted a raid, there would of course be prisoners. If there was a battle, even the most fearsome often leaves survivors. Tell me now, or I shall ask him."
―Generalirius Nakirre, to "Jixtus"[1]

Zinska, a prisoner of Narkina 5

A prisoner was an individual who was captured and held in confinement by another party. It was considered a war crime to torture a prisoner, but several major powers, like the Confederacy of Independent Systems,[2] Galactic Empire,[3] and First Order did so in secret.[4]

History[]

"These are prisoners."
"Yes. Where are you taking them?"
"I am taking them... to imprison them. In prison."
―K-2SO impersonating a real Imperial security droid while talking to a stormtrooper[5]

During the Clone Wars, both the Galactic Republic[6] and the Confederacy of Independent Systems took prisoners.[7] Early in the Clone Wars, the Confederacy had clone troopers taken to Regent Queb's compound.[8] They also had Jedi taken to the Citadel.[7] The Republic kept their prisoners at the Naval Intelligence headquarters on Coruscant.[6]

During the Galactic Civil War, Princess Leia Organa was held prisoner by Darth Vader before she was rescued by Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca[3] assigned the designation of "Prisoner 2187."[9]

The Galactic Empire used the prisoners of Narkina 5 for manufacturing and labor[10] until an escape took place in 5 BBY.[11] The Empire also used the prisoners of the mobile prison Accresker Jail as an expendable fighting force.[12]
