| Affiliation | None |
| Portrayed by | Tim Rose |
Salacious B. Crumb is a fictional character that first appeared in the Star Wars movie Return of the Jedi. Salacious was a knee-high, potbellied creature with disheveled hair, a shrill, annoying laugh, and a sharp beak. He was employed as a court jester for the intergalactic crimelord Jabba the Hutt. In the Expanded Universe, he is referred to as a Kowakian lizard-monkey. He became part of Jabba's palace after Malakili (the rancor tamer) found him on the planet Kowak. Crumb has killed some of Jabba's slaves with the rancor. He liked to pull the lever and hear the screams of the poor Twi'leks and others that fell in.
In Return of the Jedi, Salacious was shocked away from C-3PO by R2-D2 just before the destruction of Jabba's sail barge. Salacious was killed in the explosion.[1]
Salacious Crumb is also an underground groove-rock band from Sydney, they regularly reform and play shows.
Ephant Mon, a chevin gunrunner, is a minor Star Wars character, who briefly appears in Episode VI in Jabba's Palace when Han and Leia are caught escaping. Although he isn't seen much in the films, he has a very important job in Jabba's Palace as head of security; as he is the only one Jabba truly trusts. Once on a frozen planet, Jabba saved Ephant Mon from death by protecting him with the warmth of his body fat while Ephant Mon protected Jabba from bandits and since has been one of the most grotesque members of Jabba's associates. He did not die in the sail-barge explosion when many of Jabba's henchmen did, as he chose to remain at the palace. When Luke Skywalker arrived, Luke told Ephant Mon that if Jabba didn't free Han and the others, he would kill the Hutt. Ephant Mon did believe in The Force, and tried to warn Jabba, who wouldn't listen and denounced their friendship. After Jabba died and many of his henchmen were killed in the explosion, Ephant Mon joined a religion that worshipped the Force.
Ephant Mon's name comes from the words "Elephant Man," as he resembles a bipedal elephant.[citation needed]

|
|
| Position | Unknown |
| Homeworld | Tatooine |
| Species | Human |
| Gender | Male |
| Affiliation | None |
| Portrayed by | Jack Thompson |
Cliegg Lars was the widower of Shmi Skywalker, the stepfather of Anakin Skywalker, and the father of Owen Lars. A moisture farmer on Tatooine, he purchased Shmi from Watto, and subsequently freed and married her. Years later, he was visited on Tatooine by Anakin and Padmé Amidala, who learned that Shmi had been abducted by Tusken Raiders. Cliegg and thirty-odd other settlers attempted to rescue her. Many of the settlers were killed in the process, and Cliegg lost his right leg from mid-thigh down. Anakin set off to rescue her, and he eventually brought Shmi's body back to the Lars Homestead, where she was buried alongside Cliegg's first wife and parents.[citation needed]
Cliegg Lars appeared in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, played by Australian actor Jack Thompson. Cliegg Lars does not appear in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and presumably has died by the time Obi-Wan Kenobi returns with the infant Luke Skywalker to be raised by Owen and Beru.

| Owen Lars | |
|---|---|
|
|
|
| Position | Moisture farmer |
| Homeworld | Tatooine (was born on Ator) |
| Species | Human |
| Gender | Male |
| Affiliation | None |
| Portrayed by | Phil Brown, Joel Edgerton |
Owen Lars is the son of farmer Cliegg Lars. He is the stepbrother of Anakin Skywalker, and the step-uncle and de-facto foster father of Luke Skywalker. Owen does not approve of the prospect of Luke leaving Tatooine, and so he postpones the time Luke would leave to go to the Academy. He is motivated by the fear that Luke will follow in the footsteps of his father, Anakin. Owen and his wife Beru are killed by Imperial Stormtroopers.
In A New Hope, he is played by American actor Phil Brown. In Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, he is played by Australian actor Joel Edgerton.
There was some confusion as to exactly what Owen's relation to Luke is. The original movie only implies that he is Luke's uncle, the brother of Luke's father. In the 1983 novelization of Return of the Jedi, Obi-Wan Kenobi refers to Owen as his brother (corroborated in a book in the "Jedi Apprentice" series) - this was originally scripted, but cut out from that movie (in an interesting real-world coincidence, Ewan McGregor's stunt double in the latter prequels is Nash Edgerton, the real-life brother of Joel Edgerton). The Phantom Menace showed that Anakin Skywalker did not have a biological brother. Finally in Attack of the Clones, Owen was revealed to be Anakin's stepbrother and therefore technically Luke's step-uncle.
The Lars homestead is a compound located on Tatooine outside of Anchorhead and near Mos Eisley. It is home to a moisture farm, typical of the Tatooine settlements. The property is full of moisture vaporators, with most of the living area located below ground to provide relief from the planet's desert environment. Notable parts of the compound include the garage, which housed at various times the Lars family landspeeder and Luke Skywalker's T-16 skyhopper. Cliegg Lars was the original owner, with his second wife Shmi and Owen. Later, Owen and his wife Beru raised Luke Skywalker there.
Wam "Blam" Lufba is a fictional character in the Star Wars saga. He is a male Yuzzum from the forest moon of Endor who resides in Jabba's Palace. He works for the Hutt crime lord as a smuggler.[citation needed]
Het Nkik is a fictional character seen briefly in the cantina scene of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and whose story is elaborated on in the short story "Swap Meet: The Jawa's Tale" by Kevin J. Anderson, part of the anthology Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina (1995). Het Nkik is a Jawa who plots revenge on the Imperial stormtroopers who massacred his clan searching for C-3PO and R2-D2. Nkik is instead killed by a stormtrooper in Mos Eisley.

Oola is a fictional character from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
In the conviction that she would live a life of luxury, the green skinned Twi'lek named Oola allowed herself to become the property of Jabba the Hutt. This would prove to be a fatal error in judgment.
Born on the planet Ryloth, she had caught the eye of Jabba the Hutt’s majordomo Bib Fortuna. The young Twi’lek was a seductive dancer, her head tails or ‘’lekku’’ accenting her graceful movements. Fortuna kidnapped Oola and took her to his smuggling complex along with another girl by the name of Sienn. Once there, they were trained by other slave dancers to perform even more seductive dances. Oola was very talented in the form of dance and was tickled with fantasies that Fortuna told her of how the handsome Jabba would let her sleep on the most relaxing of beds, eating the finest meals, and performing exquisite and erotic dances for the handsome master Jabba. Four months later, Oola and Sienn were deemed ready and were shipped to Tatooine by Fortuna’s assistant Jerris Rudd.
Oola had dreamed of a life of luxury, relaxing on cushions and dancing for her handsome new master since Fortuna was to present her to Jabba as a gift, but upon arrival Rudd put the two dancers into hiding as something seemed to be amiss at the spaceport. They were both surprised when a dark-cloaked young man answering to the name of Luke Skywalker approached them. Skywalker offered to help the two young dancers escape from Tatooine and their life of slavery once he had completed his business with Jabba the Hutt. Sienn managed to escape with Luke, but Oola refused to sacrifice her dreams of her luxurious life within Jabba’s palace. These dreams were shattered upon her arrival at Jabba’s Palace, as she found her new master not to be the dashing, powerful businessman she had envisioned, but a grotesque, bloated slug. Those of his court were just as hideous and music was provided by a particularly loud and obnoxious band.
Jabba, on the other hand, was immediately smitten with Oola, and she was chained at the neck as his personal slave girl. She struggled in her chains and the chain leash at her neck was placed to Jabba's throne as her 'reward.' She was forced to dress in a crude net costume that afforded her little modesty. Jabba enjoyed keeping Oola close, and pulled on her chains to bring the struggling dancer against his scaly body. Oola's days with Jabba were horrible for her as every day all she did was sleep, dance and please Jabba. Like Leia, Oola was mainly kept on Jabba's throne and was forced to endure his smell, being kept against his fat scaly body, and when his drool or pieces of food fell on her. After she was Jabba's personal slave for a while she learned to fear him, and would show signs of fear while angry, and had to keep close in case he half strangled her.
Oola was forced to give pleasure to the bloated crimelord and was beaten at least once during her days of captivity for refusing to do so willingly. The slave dancer figured that Jabba, in his depraved and sadistic nature, enjoyed having her beaten nearly as much as he enjoyed being carnal with her, since he thought it was only a matter of time before she quit resisting him. Oola often wondered if she should accept Jabba's advances and be spared from further beatings - or if it would be better to die a quick and clean death while she still had her honor.
Oola was lonely and miserable in the Hutt's service, but when she saw Luke's holographic message, played before Jabba and his minions by R2-D2, her hopes were raised. That night, she talked to C-3PO and fellow dancer Yarna the Askajian. Threepio told them that Luke would soon come to rescue him, and he'd make sure the young Jedi saved the dancers as well. Oola was still saddened at the thought of having to endure the Hutt's molestations until Luke arrived, but was uplifted by the knowledge that she would soon be free of Jabba and his court forever; and so when the band started playing Jedi Rocks, she began to dance with more vigor and seductiveness than she had ever done before. It was the most fabulous dance of her life, but it was interrupted by her master drawing upon her chain. Aroused by her sensual gyrations, Jabba beckoned her to come sit beside him, his lecherous intentions clear. Terrified, but unyielding, Oola refused him once more, hopeful that Jabba would have her beaten again rather than force himself on her. Jabba became angry and fickle, and did neither of those things; he dropped Oola into the Rancor pit, where the dancer met her demise.

| Ree-Yees | |
|---|---|
| Position | Bubo's attendant |
| Homeworld | Tatooine |
| Species | Gran |
| Gender | Male |
| Affiliation | None |
| Portrayed by | Not applicable |
Ree-Yees is a Gran from the planet Kinyen. He was exiled from his planet for murdering another Gran and almost went mad. Because of this, Ree-Yees left the planet and travelled to the desert world of Tatooine where nobody would know him, surviving on large amounts of Sullustan Gin and pickpocketing credits from passers-by. It is unknown as to how Ree-Yees came to be a member of Jabba's Court, but it is known that everybody there grew to despise him too, though Jabba did not choose to kill him because he found amusement in the fights that Ree-Yees would often have with Ephant Mon, despite the fact that this creature was much tougher.
But Ree-Yees was given at least one function in Jabba's court: To tend Bubo, Jabba's grotesque watchdog that the Jawas had brought into the palace. What nobody knew was that Ree-Yees had secretly affixed a small transmitter to Bubo that remained hidden beneath his boils and his fleshy folds and this was all courtesy of the Empire, who had also provided Ree-Yees with a detonator with which he was supposed to kill Jabba, shipping the detonator's various components in crates of Gran goatgrass. In return, the Empire had promised to clear Ree-Yees of the murder charges which had been placed upon him on Kinyen and so when Jabba departed for the Sarlacc in the Dune Sea to execute a group of rebels, Ree-Yees accompanied the court on the Sail Barge intent on carrying out his mission.
Unfortunately, the rebels who were to be executed managed to effect an escape and in doing so, the woman amongst the rebels, Leia Organa managed to kill Jabba the Hutt shortly before the Sail Barge exploded with Ree-Yees still on board.
Behind the scenes, it is said that the name Ree-Yees comes from a particularly garbled version of "Three-Eyes".[citation needed]

2-1B, or Too-Onebee, was a rebel medical droid seen in The Empire Strikes Back stationed at Echo Base on the ice-planet Hoth. He is responsible in large part for Luke Skywalker's recuperation after a devastating attack by a wampa ice creature. The medical droid was evacuated with the rest of Hoth's personnel during the Battle of Hoth, and regrouped with the Rebel fleet on the Outer Rim. There he again performed services for an injured Luke, this time replacing the hand which was severed by Darth Vader on Bespin.
According to expanded universe canon (including mentions in the radio series), Too-Onebee was formerly an Imperial medical droid who freely joined the Rebellion. This is supported by the fact that he assisted Darth Vader's transformation into a cyborg in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
2-1B was also the figurehead of Star Wars Insider's "Dear 2-1B" column.

Elegos A'Kla is a Caamasi senator. He appears first in I, Jedi, where Corran Horn saves him from pirates. He played a substantial role in the resolution of the Caamas dispute, and also in the peace process initiated by Admiral Gilad Pellaeon. After the outbreak of the war with the Yuuzhan Vong Senator A'Kla decided that he would try to peacefully end the war and went to negotiate with the Yuuzhan Vong.

Allana (born 36 ABY) is the daughter of Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka.
A year before Allana's birth, Jacen went to see Tenel Ka to talk about the possibility of sending a Hapan fleet to intervene in the Killik crisis. Tenel Ka agreed. The implied condition (what Tenel Ka implied that she wanted from Jacen in return) was that Jacen help Tenel Ka get rid of her other suitors by spending the night with Tenel Ka, which Jacen eventually agrees to. The ultimate results of this bargain were that a Hapan fleet was dispatched to Qoribu, and Tenel Ka became pregnant. Tenel Ka carried the baby for twelve months by using the Force to slow down its growth, so that nobody would figure out who the father was. But soon after Allana was born, Jacen was forced to save her and Tenel Ka from an assassination attempt plotted by Ta'a Chume, who was unhappy with the prospect of the child of two Jedi being an heir to the Hapan throne. However, when Jacen's cousin Ben Skywalker, who was present at the assassination attempt, found out, Jacen was forced to erase his memory. This was done so that Ben who had been under the control of the Dark Nest, would not reveal the identity of Allana's father. Due to this, the baby's existence was then kept secret.
Earlier in the Legacy of the Force series Jacen Solo starts down the path of the Sith and it is said in Bloodlines that while he is not able to constantly be there for Allana and Tenel Ka he does visit them and reaches out to them with the force, a touch which, surprisingly, Allana returns despite her young age. Jacen later learns that to become a Sith and not go down the destructive and selfish path of his grandfather Darth Vader he must "immortalize his love". Through his Sith teacher Lumiya he realizes that he will have to kill Tenel Ka and Allana. Their fates however, determined in the Legacy of the Force series, go down a different path, when Jacen decides he shall not kill his daughter and lover, but rather, his aunt, wife of his uncle the Grand High Jedi Master. Mara Jade Skywalker.
Allana was reunited with her father, at least for a short time, during the attempted coup at Hapes. Jacen, at Tenel Ka's request, takes Allana with him on his Star Destroyer Anakin Solo. She is targeted for assassination by Aurra Sing, but is saved by Jacen's timely arrival. She even helps him in the fight, by injecting Sing with a knockout poison that she had been given for self-defence.

| Portrayed by | Wilford Brimley |
Noa Briqualon is a character in the TV movie Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. Stranded on the forest moon of Endor long ago, he learned to adapt to his primitive surroundings. He was marooned on Endor when his ship was caught in the complex gravity patterns of the world and crashed in the forest. The power drive crystal of the ship shattered and his friend Salak went to find one, but was captured by the evil Marauders and killed. Noa soon realized that his friend wasn't coming back and made his home in what remained of a hollow tree trunk.
Noa's house was small but cozy.[citation needed] A homemade table was by the door and a stove was also near the door. Animal hide rugs carpeted the wooden floor. Also there was Noa's bed and assorted tables, hollows, and crevices in which junk was stored. There was also a small upstairs part with lots of interesting articles up there.
Teek, a mischievous creature, met up with Noa sometime between his starship wreck and the "Battle for Endor" movie. Noa let him stay and even carved Teek a bed for his own out of the tree trunk walls of the house. It was Teek who led Cindel Towani and Wicket W. Warrick to Noa's house.
The old man at first was angry that the kids should be brought into his house, but he grew to like them as he was really a kindly man. He helped save Cindel and the Ewoks from the marauders, defeating the evil marauder King Terak. Wicket the Ewok defeated Terak and Noa and Cindel repaired the starship.
Little is known of Noa's later years, though, according to the Star Wars Official Webpage, he retired somewhere in the Mid Rim of the Galaxy. It is not known when he died. He is one of the only characters in any of the Star Wars movies to be portrayed as wearing glasses.
Nek Bwua'tu was a Bothan admiral in the Galactic Alliance Defense Force. He was the commander of the Galactic Alliance Fifth Fleet at the outbreak of the Swarm War.[citation needed]
As of 37 ABY, Bwua'tu carried his flag aboard Admiral Ackbar, a brand new pirate-hunting variant of the Victory-class Star Destroyer. Bwua'tu was lauded for his victories in the Thrawn simulator and the Bothans among his crew took great pride in serving under who they saw as the greatest commander in the Galactic Alliance Fleet.
A year after the evacuation of the Qoribu nests, Bwua'tu was tasked with commanding the blockade of the Utegetu Nebula with the Fifth Fleet. The nebula had been the source of dark membrosia and the hiding place for many pirates—and of course, the Dark Nest. The entire Fifth Fleet was diverted from its normal patrol of the Hydian Way. During the blockade, he impounded the Millennium Falcon with Barabel Jedi Master Saba Sebatyne and her apprentice, Leia Organa Solo, onboard. Both Jedi sensed something odd aboard the Ackbar, but Bwua'tu brashly ignored their advice as Jedi trickery and sorcery.
The admiral had many busts of himself onboard his ship, gifts from a shipping conglomerate who benefited from the Fifth Fleet's patrol of the Hydian Way. These busts were in reality sold by a company allies with the Dark Nest. They would later explode, full of Gorog larvae. Despite ordering a task force of the Fifth Fleet to attack the incoming Killik fleet, his ship was overtaken by the Killiks and former Jedi-turned-Joiner Alema Rar. Bwua'tu finally followed Leia Organa Solo's advice, they were forced to evacuate the Star Destroyer, and it fell into the hands of UnuThul.
Aboard Mon Mothma, commanded by Commodore Gavin Darklighter, Bwua'tu again took command of his fleet, though he himself doubted he would command the Fifth Fleet for much longer. With many Jedi serving under his command now—including Luke Skywalker—and a bare ten ship advantage over the Killiks, he ordered the fleet to engage the Killik ships with everything they had, thus starting the Swarm War.
While it is unknown whether Nek Bwua'tu retained command of the Fifth Fleet, he continued to serve as a strategic influence all the way through until the end of the Swarm War. Many of his strategies and tactics proved instrumental in ending the conflict.
Cakhmaim was a male Noghri bodyguard to Leia Organa Solo. He succeeded Adarakh, who was killed by the treacherous New Republic Senator Viqi Shesh of Kuat on Coruscant during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion crisis. Since assuming the role Cakhmaim served his mistress alongside Noghri female Meewalh. His favorite weapon was a sickle and club attached by a short chain, with which he nearly killed rogue Jedi Knight Alema Rar on Woteba just prior to the Killik/Chiss standoff at Qoribu. Cakhmaim was killed when Jacen orders his Star Destroyer to fire on the Millennium Falcon, destroying the gun turret that Cakhmaim was manning.
Jorj Car'das was an up-and-coming smuggler when the Forwards broke out, and previous to this he was one of the first humans to come into contact with Thrawn. Car'das realized that the galaxy was changing, and decided that the time had come for him to start his own operation. He took control of Booster Terrik's operation when Booster was sent to Kessel by Hal Horn, and created a successful smuggling operation, although his operation was small compared to what the Hutts had.
Around 4 BBY, Car'das was commandeered by one of the Darkclone from Bpfassh, who killed all the crew aboard his ship and demanded passage. Car'das survived the Dark Jedi's battle with the Jedi Master Yoda on Dagobah, after receiving treatment from Yoda himself. However, somehow Car'das was changed by the encounter. He began taking his organization to higher levels, creating a small empire that was involved in a number of criminal activities but not dominant in any one of them. This allowed him to become quite rich and modestly powerful, and his organization began to rival the Hutts' outfits. He somehow seemed to know the right move in any situation, and was always outthinking his opponents; he could nearly see the future, foreseeing, for example, the coming rise of Palpatine and the waxing influence of Black Sun. It was during this time that Car'das also began amassing a teeny library of datacards, storing information away like they were free credits. Then, one day, Car'das simply got into his private yacht and disappeared. His health finally started to fail, and the new life he had been given by Yoda evaporated. Car'das travelled to Dagobah to demand that Yoda put everything right. Yoda simply took his blaster and the beckon call from his ship and flung them into the jungle, then berated Car'das for wasting the gift he had been given. He also told Car'das that he couldn't help him any further, since he was busy preparing for the arrival of Luke Skywalker. Car'das couldn't return to his group, so he fled to Exocron, where Yoda had indicated he might receive help from the Aing-Tii monks of the Kathol Rift.
His organization continued to thrive for several months, but the lieutenants began to discuss the need for a true leader. Rather than put it to a vote, Talon Karrde - one of Car'das' most trusted students - simply took control of the organization. The other leaders weren't happy, but the new operation flourished for the next twenty years. After the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Karrde sent Lando Calrissian and Mara Jade to search for Car'das, a search which took seven years and ended up with Car'das somewhere on the planet Exocron. The lone clue was the beckon call Luke Skywalker had recovered on Dagobah.
Later, Lando thought that Car'das held information which could help the New Republic diffuse the Caamas Incident, but Karrde refused to bring Car'das into it. During the Incident, Karrde finally realized that he had to confront Car'das; if not to confront his own fears, then to recover a copy of the Caamas Document. Car'das played an elaborate ruse on him, first appearing as a withered old man bed-ridden on the planet Exocron. Car'das' fortress was built into the side of a mountain, and Karrde was surprised at the other man's advanced age.
However, Car'das had been planning this for some time - ever since he learned of Calrissian and Jade's search. Car'das used Karrde's desire to locate him as a way to draw the crimelord Rei'kas to Exocron and near the Kathol Rift. Car'das and Trey David knew Exocron couldn't stand against Rei'kas's fleet, but they also knew that the Aing-Tii monks wanted to eliminate Rei'kas. By allowing Karrde to get to Exocron, Car'das and David also gave Exocron's location to Rei'kas. However, Rei'kas' fleet was destroyed by the Aing-Tii monks when it tried to attack Exocron. This maneuvering was nearly transparent to Karrde, who realized that Car'das was more than a frail old man. He returned to Exocron and confronted Car'das again, who was no longer an aged man but a healthy man of somewhat advanced age. He also revealed the true size of his fortress, with its immense library of datacards. Within it, Car'das was unable to locate a copy of the Caamas Document. He was, however, able to dig up a wealth of information on Grodin Tierce, Moff Disra, and the conman Flim. Karrde and Shada D'ukal brought this information back to Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, after saying their goodbyes to Car'das. Car'das vanished from the galactic scene for a couple of years, before Dean Jinzler revealed that he had received word of Voss Parck's mission to locate the remains of the Outbound Flight Project from Car'das himself. Car'das then made sure Jinzler arrived, going so far as to trail Jinzler and help repair his ship in the Flacharia System. Jinzler told the Skywalkers that Car'das was only trying to fulfill a promise he'd made years ago. Car'das then accompanied Jinzler aboard the Chaf Envoy when Aristocra Formbi greeted them, although Jinzler couldn't comprehend the discussion between Formbi and Car'das.
While attempting to gain access to the Vagaari fleet, Car'das states his homeworld to be that of Corellia.

A fictional group in Star Wars, The Cloud-Riders were a swoop gang operating on Aduba-3 and led by Serji-X Arrogantus. They lived in the hills just outside of Onacra. Once a year, they would attack the village, stampeding the villagers' banthas, burning their crops, and carrying off their women.
Eventually, the villagers worked out a deal with the Cloud-Riders. They would pay an annual tithe of 9,000 credits in exchange for being left alone. This only worked for three years before Arrogantus and his gang became restless and began attacking again.
Because of this, the villager Ramiz asked for help from Han Solo and Chewbacca, who in turn formed the Eight for Aduba-3 to combat the Cloud-Riders.
Arrogantus and most of the rest of the Cloud-Riders were killed by the Behemoth from the World Below. The survivors, without their leader, quickly disbanded the gang.

Davik Kang was a crimelord on the planet Taris in the Star Wars video game Knights of the Old Republic. Kang was a member of The Exchange, a powerful intergalactic crime syndicate that makes repeat appearances in the sequel to the game, Knights of the Old Republic I. He was killed on Taris by Revan, who up to that point had been undercover, working under the pretense of desiring to join his legion of agents. In reality, Revan sought to obtain control of Davik Kang's ship, the Ebon Hawk, since it was the only ship fast enough to outrun the Sith blockade that had been set up above the planet Taris. At the time Revan was not under his "Normal Evil Influence", as he was, at the time of the events involving Kang, suffering from temporary amnesia. Revan was acting with the Jedi Knight Bastila, who Revan and Carth Onasi, a Republic Soldier, thought was the key to winning the current war against the Sith empire. Following Davik Kang's death, Revan and a group of cohorts including Bastila and Carth set out for the planet Dantooine aboard Davik Kang's former ship, the Ebon Hawk. Davik Kang was one of many owners of the Ebon Hawk which was handed down from owner to owner only by stealing it.

| Affiliation | Galactic Empire, Second Imperium |
| Portrayed by | Not applicable |
In the Star Wars Expanded Universe, Jeng Droga (—23 ABY) was an Emperor's Hand.
In his service to the Empire, Droga used his Jar'Kai skills in Lightsaber combat, and piloted the Emperor's Shadow, Palpatine's personal shuttle.
His depth of loyalty and Force connection to Palpatine caused Droga to enter a deep depression following his master's death. Present at Endor, Droga fled the battle to the planet Kaal, where he killed the crew of Emperor's Shadow and crashed the ship into the ocean in hopes of joining Palpatine in death. His effort was in vain, however, as his broken body washed ashore.
Within a year, the disembodied spirit of the Emperor discovered Droga and entered his body. Palpatine called out to Sate Pestage, who rescued the broken body from Kaal and returned it to Byss. There, the spirit of Palpatine was exorcized from Droga, who remained on Byss to protect his Reborn master. During the reborn Emperor's campaign, Droga's increasingly unstable temperament made him into a monster on the battlefield, but he was unable to save his master from ultimate death.
With the final destruction of Palpatine, Droga was pushed over the edge. For years he roamed the galaxy as a berserker, eventually slaying Sarcev Quest for his role in Palpatine's assassination.
He eventually lent his aid to the Second Imperium's assault on Yavin 4. There he joined in the chaos, now completely insane, and was finally able to join his master after being defeated by Kyle Katarn.
Commander Eldo Davip was sent by self-proclaimed chief of state Pwoe on a suicide mission with the Super-class Star Destroyer Lusankya. Unfortunately for Pwoe, General Wedge Antilles was smart enough to keep Davip alive. For his heroism at the final part of the Battle of Borleias, he was made a Major General by the time of the Battle of Yuuzhan'Tar
Baron Soontir Fel was a highly-skilled Imperial pilot, and often considered the best TIE fighter pilot, second only to Darth Vader. He is best known for leading the 181st Imperial Fighter Group, known as the most elite fighter pilots in the Imperial Navy.
Fel was a farm-boy from Corellia by birth, enlisting in the Imperial Navy to avoid complications arising from a confrontation with a rival boy. One of his classmates at the Imperial Academy was fellow Corellian Han Solo. He quickly proved his skill by surviving his first tours as a TIE pilot, a remarkable feat as TIEs and their pilots are often viewed as an expendable resource. After serving as Commander of a Dreadnaught, he moved to the Academy. From there he was transferred to the 181st, which at the time was a rag-tag squadron on a backwater world.
Fel became disillusioned with the Empire after the fall of Emperor Palpatine, seeing the once great military machine dissolve into feuding warlord-ism and seeing corrupt politicians manipulate the military for their own gains. He was captured by Wedge Antillies and Rogue Squadron, and, during interrogation, defected to the Alliance, joining the Rogues and proving to be instrumental in many missions.
During his time with Rogue Squadron Fel would wear his TIE Fighter flight-suit, as opposed to the traditional Alliance Orange, but with the less bulky X-wing life support apparatus and helmet, as opposed to the fully enclosed TIE pilot kit.
He disappeared for a brief time before showing up as a pilot for the Chiss. He warned Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker of an impending invasion, which turned out to be the invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong. During the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, his son, Jagged Fel, also proved himself as a pilot.
Fel is married to Wedge Antilles' sister, Syal.
Fel is likely based on Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron from the first World War.
Fel may be an ancestor of Roan Fel, Emperor of the reformed Galactic Empire.
Condren Foreck was Lando Calrissian's second choice for a wife in the Corellian Trilogy. Unfortunately, Lando found out that she had already married another man, and was forced to cross her off his list of potential suitors. Foreck lives with her husband on a farm on Azbrian.[citation needed]

Garindan is a minor character seen in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope at the Mos Eisley spaceport. Garindan only appeared in a few seconds of film, but he became famous for his stand-out appearance, earning him the nickname "Long Snoot."
He characteristically wears dark goggles since his large eyes are photosensitive to the red wavelengths in light. Born on the arid planet of Kubindi, he has a rough textured green/black skin and a bristle like hair on his head. As with all of his kind, Garindan feeds off insects and favours the delicacies that are shipped to Mos Eisley from the Ku'Bakai system. Because of the harsh conditions of Tatooine, he is almost always seen in a dark cloak that covers everything except for his trunk-like snout, leading the locals to speculate to his species and planet of origin. Garindan is believed to be exceedingly rich and is always able to pay for information when needed and produce the chits immediately despite the fact that he is never seen carrying large amounts of credits.
The information that Garindan gathers is available for a price, and his only allegiances are to himself; the fact that the local Imperial presence pays him well for his information indicates that Garindan has failed to find a better offer so far. Garindan was so good at his work that even Jabba the Hutt feared that the Kubaz might find out too much about his dealings and business transactions. Garindan, for his part, simply bided his time, safe in the knowledge that he would eventually find out something regarding Jabba's business and that this information would make him wealthy.
Garindan once received a commission from Imperial forces and this nearly cost the Rebel Alliance its future after Garindan was given the task of hunting down two missing droids named R2-D2 and C-3PO. Garindan managed to locate the two droids quickly, finding them in the company of Old Ben, a hermit who lived out in the Dune Sea and a young farm boy that Garindan recognised as being the Nephew of Owen Lars, a moisture farmer. Garindan trailed the cohort to Docking Bay 94 where they were set to rendezvous with a pair of smugglers named Han Solo and Chewbacca, where they would take passage on the Millennium Falcon. Using the Imperial Comlink that he had been provided with, Garindan immediately called the Stormtroopers to Docking Bay 94, causing the freighter to barely escape intact.
The current activities and whereabouts of Garindan are unknown. It is likely that he has remained on Tatooine hiding amidst the upheaval following the death of Jabba the Hutt.
He also appears in Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy as an unlockable character, and under the name of "Imperial Spy." He continues to spy on the rebels until he was caught.
Gartogg is a minor and fictional character from Star Wars, Return of the Jedi. Gartogg was born on the planet Gamorrea and was one of twelve Gamorreans who left their planet bound of Tatooine at the request of Jabba the Hutt. Jabba wanted the Gartogg and the others to enter his service, but Gamorrean customs dictated that Jabba had to engaged them in personal combat before they could agree to this employment. Jabba agreed and said that he would combat them all at once so long as they were all blindfolded, as was an old "Hutt Tradition" in such dominance combat. The Gamorreans agreed and once Gartogg and the others could not see anything, Jabba silently ordered dozens of his thugs to beat the Gamorreans mercilessly.
Awed by Jabba's martial skill and the fact that he had managed to simultaneously and single-handedly defeat them in combat, the Gartogg and the other Gamorreans agreed to enter Jabba's service and were placed around the palace as guards. Gartogg's duties were very simple, guard the palace and he was happy with this particular function despite the fact he was constantly harassed with the appointed leader Ortugg. Like everybody else in the palace, Gartogg was captured by the rescue attempt that Leia Organa mounted on Han Solo who was being held captive within Carbonite in Jabba's throne room. But Gartogg had problems of his own to deal with. A number of sinister murders had taken place in the lower depths of Jabba's palace and Gartogg had been given the task of solving these murders, an assignment that would prove to save his life since it prevented him from joining Jabba and his enteurage on his Sail Barge when it departed for the Dune Sea and the Great Pit of Carkoon.
Ghent is a fictional character in the expanded Star Wars universe. He made his first appearance in the Timothy Zahn novel, Heir to the Empire. Ghent is a slicer (hacker) of awesome talent, able to crack military and diplomatic grade encryptions with relative ease. He is employed in Talon Karrde's smuggling operation.[citation needed]
Over the course of the Thrawn story arc, Ghent was seconded to the New Republic in order to track down a bank break-in. While waiting for transport from his employer, he was able to decrypt the transmissions from Delta Source, an Imperial intelligence system acquiring information directly from the New Republic headquarters; something that the New Republic hadn't been able to do over a much longer period of time with much greater resources. Ghent also used his talents to break Imperial Battle encryptions during the siege of Coruscant, though he was thrown off by the stiff procedures and routines used by the New Republic.
He is also incredibly naive, and often doesn't even notice his own talents and status. In the game KotOR II a character named Dhagon Ghent can be found on Onderon. He is likely an ancestor of Zakarisz.
Vilmarh Grahrk, or Villie as he was often known, was a Devaronian smuggler during the waning days of the Galactic Republic. A notorious gambler, grifter and scoundrel, Villie took part in a number of underhanded schemes in his quest for money and women.
A character named Dvakvar Grahrk (possibly an ancestor of Vilmarh) was originally planned to be in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, but was cut during development. The character can still be seen on the Prima Guide of KotOR II.
Vilmarh Grahrk is a character in Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.
Kieran Halcyon was an ancestor of the Corellian Jedi Master Neejah Halcyon. Living roughly four centuries prior to the events of Return of the Jedi, Keiran was a well regarded Jedi in his own right. A protector of Corellia, he often served as a reargaurd in his missions, due to the Halcyon's lack of skill with telekinesis. Kieran Halcyon's lightsaber gave off a distinctive silver glow (due to its using a durindfire gem as its primary focusing crystal), which although was not totally uncommon among Corellian Jedi, was a legendary trademark of the Halcyon Jedi (Nejaa Halcyon also had a silver lightsaber, as well as his grandson, Corran Horn). Kieran Halcyon was also an alias used by his descendent, Corran Horn, when he started his Jedi training.
Neeja Halcyon was Corellian Jedi Master, who was the grandfather of Corran Horn, and was killed on a mission shortly after the Clone Wars. Father of Rostek Horn, when he died his widow married his best friend, Rostek Horn, who adopted their son and fabricated records during the Empire's Jedi Purge. He carried a silver lighstaber.
Marn "Gryph" Hierogryph is a Snivvian smuggler who's bark is much worse than his bite. Gryph has always had a dream about becoming a big, notorious criminal, but his crimes usually go unnoticed compared to other lowlife in the galaxy. He is notoriously greedy and will do almost anything to make a few easy credits, no matter how much danger it may bring to him and his companions. Despite this, he is far from a cold-hearted murderer and has shown compassion more than once while traveling with Zayne. He also has a seemingly endless supply of underworld connections when it comes to dealing with all the low-life criminals around the galaxy.
Tal Hesz was a leader of the Jabiimi resistance alongside Nolan Gillmunn during the Galactic Civil War. Though fighting to keep their planet free of Imperial tyranny, he did not trust the Rebel Alliance. When Gillmunn brought a Rebel diplomatic envoy to the planet to meet with the resistance, Hesz was furious. When Hesz found out that a member of the team, one Luke Skywalker was wanted by Darth Vader himself, he promised to exchange the rebel for an end to hostilities on Jabiim. When his plan backfired he was only able to provide Lord Vader with rebel mathematician Jorin Sol. This, along with Skywalker and the others' escape, angered Vader, who ordered the populace of the planet enslaved, and ordered an orbital bombardment, reducing the planet to rubble.
This event devastated Hesz, who undertook a personal mission to find Sol and his people. After weeks of searching, an informant pointed him to Kalist VI. After stealing an Imperial shuttle and disguising himself as a Stormtrooper, he headed for the planet. Hesz arrived just in time to see a Rebel fleet arrive to save his people and Jorin Sol. After the battle on the planet ended, Hesz was found out and taken into Imperial custody.
Rostek Horn is the step-grandfather of Corran Horn. Rostek was a security officer with Corellian Security Force (CorSec) and worked closely with the Corellian Jedi Nejaa Halcyon on various campaigns. When Nejaa Halcyon died, Rostek married his widow and adopted his son in order to hide them from the Emperor and Darth Vader. Nejaa's son Valin, would from that point be known as Valin 'Hal' (Halcyon) Horn. Rostek rose high in the ranks of CorSec (how far is never actually stated). At the time of his forced retirement he was put on a sort of low level house arrest, wherein all employees of his estate reported his actions directly to CorSec. Rostek revealed to his grandson Corran Horn that Corellian politicians feared the intelligence he had gathered on them during his CorSec days.[citation needed]
Valin "Hal" Horn is the father of Corran Horn. Like Corran, Hal was a CorSec officer. Corran and his father were very close. Unfortunately, Hal was killed by the bounty hunter Bossk on an ill-fated CorSec mission in which Corran was also a participant. Hal died in the arms of his son. Corran still looks to his father's memory for inspiration, and often relies on his "gut instincts," a survival technique his father encouraged. Hal Horn was also a partially trained Jedi Knight who was trained by his father Nejaa Halcyon until Nejaa's death shortly after the Clone Wars. He was unable to train his own son, Corran, in the use of the Force, but he did teach him to trust his instincts, realizing they were latent warnings from the Force. Hal knew his own intuition for crimefighting was largely based on the Force and that he had passed his abilities onto Corran. Hal Horn was the only law enforcement officer to ever catch Booster Terrik and was thus responsible for Booster's five year stint in the spice mines of Kessel. He once briefly worked the murder case of Wedge Antilles's parents. He and his son Corran (partners at the time) also helped bring down Zekka Thyne, Black Sun's top lieutenant on Correlia in which he worked with Grand Admiral Thrawn who was posing as the bounty hunter Jodo Kast. Valin Horn's most significant
