of Endor, the system occupied a strategic position between these portions
of space controlled by the remnants of the Empire and the New Republic. It
was a neutral star system, though its inhabitants showed some favoritism toward
the New Republic. The planet is renowned for its massive library computers
that supposedly contain the complete knowledge of the galaxy. It was from
these library computers that Grand Admiral Thrawn pulled the astrogation coordinates
for the planet Wayland. Later, Luke Skywalker sent R2-D2 and C-3P0 to search
the library computers for information about his mother. [BTS, HE, HESB, SOL]

- Old Republic: A democratic galactic government
that lasted nearly 25,000 standard years, it grew as a direct result of the
development of hyperspace travel and communications, and spread justice and
freedom from star system to star system, encompassing millions of inhabited
worlds. Elected senators and administrators from all the member worlds participated
in the Republic's governing process, while the Jedi Knights served as its
protectors and defenders. Starting about a century before the Galactic Civil
War, corruption, greed, and internal strife began to destroy the Republic
from within. Special interest gruops and power-hungry individuals accomplished
what no outside threat ever could -- they weaked the galactic government and
gave rise to apathy, social injustice, ineffectiveness, and chaos. The destructive
trend allowed Naboo Senator Palpatine to rise to power. He eventually named
himself Emperor, abolished the Republic, and began a reign of terror and social
injustice based upon his dark vision of a New Order. The Republic passed away,
and the Empire was born. Also, "Old Republic" is more-often used
to describe the Republic in its glory years, approximately 4,000 years prior
to the Galactic Civil War. See Republic. [DLS, FNU, SW, SWN, SWSB, TOJ, TSW]

and Queen Amanoa of Iziz, and later put down an uprising by the followers
of Freedon Nadd. Millenia later, six years after the Battle of Endor, Princess
Leia Organa Solo and her newborn son Anakin landed the Millennium Falcon on
this world to make repairs. The reborn clone of the Emperor stalked them and
tried to possess the child's body. He was stopped by Jedi Empatojayos Brand.

- Outer Rim Territories: This group of star systems
located on the farthest edge of the galaxy includes the desert world of Tatooine.
This region has been considered the galaxy's frontier since it was originally
opened for settlement during the time of the Republic. When the Empire controlled
all of known space, it was considered a backwater area good for nothing but
exploitation. The worlds of the Rim were pillaged by the Empire, for it was
from this region the Empire got most of its slaves and resources. Because
the Emperor was free to conduct his most terrible atrocities here, away from
the eyes of the Core Worlds, the planets and species of the Rim Territories
tend to support the Rebellion. [HESB, SW, SWRPG2]

Lord Darth Vader's task force during the events leading up to the Battle of
Hoth. The Imperial Death Squadron, as the task force was dubbed, consisted
of Vader's flagship Executor and five Imperial Star Destroyers. Ozzel's contempt
for the Rebels and his unwillingness to see the Alliance as a credible threat
led to his downfall. When he brought the task force out of hyperspace within
Hoth's sensor range, Vader eliminated the admiral for prematurely alerting
the Rebels and for "being as clumsy as he is stupid." Years before,
Ozzel presided at the ceremony in which Han Solo was dishonorably discharged
from the Imperial Navy. An Imperial admiral and commander of Darth Vader’s flagship Executor until he directs the ship to emerge from hyperspace too close to Hoth, alerting the Rebels of the Imperial presence.
