A’Sharad Hett
This being was the son of Sharad Hett, a Jedi Master who became a recluse and hid on the planet Tatooine during the period surrounding the Battle of Naboo. When his father was assassinated by Aurra Sing, the Jedi Knight Ki-Adi-Mundi vowed to train A’Sharad as his Jedi Padawan.

Aalto
This young Jedi student was one of Bruck Chun’s obnoxious friends.

Academy of Jedi Archaeology, The
A division of the ancient Jedi Knights which strove to recover the ancient Jedi teachings and lore, including the Sith knowledge.

Adega System
Located in the Outer Rim Territories, this was the site of an important Jedi stronghold. It borders the Cron Drift. Adega was one of the original nine Auril Systems, and is only one of six that remains following the creation of the Cron Drift.

Adegan Crystals
Known as Ilum crystals, these minerals emit powerful bursts of light when induced by resonant frequencies. This trait makes them the most common crystals used to construct lightsabers.

Affect Mind
A technique used by the Jedi Knights, it allows them to use the Force to control, sense, and alter another being's perceptions. It can be used to create illusions in, or remove images from, the being's memory.

Aing-Tii Monks
This strange race of creatures inhabits the furthest reaches of the Kathol Outback, near the Kathol Rift. They are one of the few travellers who actually seem to be able to navigate through the Rift, having been seen emerging from the Rift of several occasions. As a race, the Aing-Tii are tall, edentate mammals whose bodies are covered by bony plates. They have four legs, although they most often stand erect. Their heads are covered by helmet-like plates, and are dominated by two large eyes. They have no visible mouths, but use a group of long, thin tongues to sense and communicate. The tongues are used for tasting, smelling, and feeling. Much of their bony armor is covered with intricate, painted symbols that resemble the markings seen on their strangely-organic starships. Their tails, also covered with thick plates, are prehensile and often used in defense and attack. The Aing-Tii are also Force-sensitive, although they don't use it and control it the way Jedi Knights do. No one is sure exactly why, but the Aing-Tii patrol the Kathol Outback between the Marcol Void and the Kathol Rift looking for slave ships. They incapacitate the slavers with their Sanhedrim starships, then free the slaves.

AJTD-series Droid
This highly-specialized kind of droid was developed for use by the Jedi Knights. These Advanced Jedi Training Droids could be used in all kinds of classes, but were primarily used for lightsaber training.

AJTD-6
This Jedi training witnessed the fight between Obi-Wanb Kenobi and Bruck Chun, shortly before Qui-Gon Jinn arrived on Coruscant to find a Padawan apprentice. The blame for the fight was pinned on Obi-Wan by Bruck, in hopes that he would get Obi-Wan shipped off to the Agricultural Corps while Bruck was chosen as a Padawan. In the end, AJTD-6 described the actual cause of the fight to the Jedi Masters, and neither boy was chosen.

Aleema
Satal Keto's cousin, and partner in the overthrowing of the Tetan monarchy just prior to the Sith War. She and Satal Keto learned much from their tutors, but became curious about the Sith magic during a trip to Coruscant. They stole a book of Sith lore from a museum on the planet, and returned to the Empress Teta System. From the book, they learned many ways to harness the power of the Dark Side of the Force through the Sith incantations. Aleema soon discovered that she was adept at the creation of illusions. She was instrumental in bringing down the Lord Keto and his supporters, tricking them with horrible images of Adegan Eels and terrible lizards. She later put her powers to a grander scale, creating illusions of space grazers to fool the combined Jedi-Republic forces during their battle to recover the Tetan system. She was mortally wounded, however, when Nomi Sunrider detected the use of the Dark Side and tried to stop her. She recovered from these wounds, to help her cousin continue the Krath struggle for power. She eventually became the mistress of Ulic Qel-Droma, seducing him as he was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. Ulic's desire for power and glory overshadowed Aleema's attentions, and she was scorned by him when he launched his attack on Coruscant. She then turned the ancient Mandalore warriors to the Krath, but they too left her to fight along side Ulic. Near the end of the Great Sith War, Aleema and Crado tried to destroy the combined Old Republic and Jedi fleets in the Cron Cluster. Her knowledge of the Sith lore was augmented by the use of certain Sith weapons, one of which was the ancient starship used by Naga Sadow when he eluded the Old Republic in the Denarii System. She attempted to use Sadow's crystals to rip the core from a star and hurl it at the fleet. Although she succeeded in destroying most of the starships, she failed to control the power she wielded. The liberated solar core ignited the cores of the surrounding suns, and created an intense, multi-star supernova. The supernova engulfed three Auril Systems and the planet Ossus. It also killed Aleema and Crado, along with Dace Diath, Shoaneb Culu, and Qrrrl Toq.

Allya
A rogue Jedi, exiled by the Jedi Knights during the Old Republic and sent to Dathomir. She first trained the rancors as mounts, and was responsible for showing the first Dathomirian women how to use the Force.

Alter
Another of the Force skills which Jedi can master, Alter is also the most difficult. It involves the Jedi's ability to modify the Force and redistribute its energy.

Ambria
The world which Jedi Master Thon tamed, it is a ringed world in the Stenness System. It is barren and sparse, and was once full of Dark Side energy. At one point, Oss Willum says that Thon rid the planet Arkania of the Dark Side, instead of Ambria. When Master Thon arrived there, he pushed back the Dark Side into its source, Lake Natth. He lived there from that point until his death. The planet became a research location several millennia later, when BioTech Industries set up a campus there.

Antarian Rangers
A para-military group based on several planets, including Toprawa, they were formed to assist and aid the Jedi Knights. They were trained to be masters of any environment, in order to help the Jedi in any way possible. During the Clone Wars, whole groups of Antarian Rangers were killed off, and many of the survivors scattered and went underground.

Arca Jeth
A humanoid with three fingers and a thumb on each hand, Arca was a Jedi Master from the planet Arkania. He agreed to oversee the planet Onderon, but instead sent Ulic Qel-Droma, Ulic's brother Cay, and Tott Doneeta to the planet. He later assists them on the planet, and is forced to conceal Freedon Nadd's Sith lore in a tomb on the Dxun Moon. He refuses Exar Kun's request to see the Sith artifacts from Freedon Nadd's ship. He later attends the Jedi Assembly on Deneba, and is killed in the battle by one of the Krath war droids.

Arkania
A planet which had a great deal of Dark Side energy, it was the homeworld of Jedi Master Arca Jeth. It is a tundra world known for its huge diamonds. It is located in the Colonies region.

Ashka Boda
An ancient Jedi Master who was murdered during the Jedi purge. He was the holder of a Holocron, of which Vodo Siosk-Baas was the Gatekeeper, at that time. Palpatine took control of the holocron and stole its secrets.

Astin, Fable
This tall, slender woman was a Captain in the Alliance military, and was the leader of the Harrier infiltration team. She was also a young Jedi in training. Fable was one of youngest beings ever appointed the rank of Captain, and at the age of 19 was also one of the youngest infiltration operatives. Her mother had been a Jedi Knight, and instructed Fable’s father in its uses. When Fable’s father was killed in a struggle with one of the Emperor’s Inquisitors, Fable and her mother were forced to flee and hide from Palpatine’s reach. Despite her military training and sensitivity to the Force, Fable was also easily distracted and moody. After her team suffered a loss during a mission to Nysza III, Fable was faced with the Dark Side of the Force in a confrontation with the Dark Jedi Vialco, who was guarding the Imperial communications bunker she was ordered to destroy. The bunker was taken out, but Vialco soundly defeated Fable in a short battle of wills. Later, in a chance encounter on the planet Iscera, Fable met Jaalib Brandl, and followed him back to Trulalis. There, she was introduced to Adalric Brandl, Jaalib’s father, and was given instruction in the deeper use of the Force to help her defeat Vialco. Despite the needs of Harrier Team, Fable remained on Trulalis for many months, striving too hard and making more mistakes than she thought she was capable of making. During her training, Fable fell in love with Jaalib, a relationship that Adalric forbade. He sent Jaalib back to Iscera and called Vialco to Trulalis, provoking a battle that renewed their aggressions. She was unaware of Adalric’s true intensions until she had defeated Vialco and refused to kill him outright. Adalric prodded her, then sent an image into her mind - that of Vialco recovering his lightsaber and lunging toward her. She spun her own lightsaber around and decapitated Vialco, only to snap out of the vision and realize that Vialco had never recovered the weapon. Adalric then imprisoned her, hoping to return her to the planet Byss as a gift to the Emperor.

Atori, Otias
This native of Trulalis was Adalric Brandl's mentor. Otias was a famous theatrical actor before becoming a director and acting teacher. He was unable to keep Brandl from answering Palpatine's call to become a Dark Jedi, and strove to save Adalric’s young son, Jaalib, from a similar fate. Otias reprimanded Brandl when he returned to Trulalis some twelve years later, although Brandl hoped that he could assist in returning to the light side of the Force.

Aurra Sing
This bounty hunter was, at one time, a student of the Force. As a Jedi trainee, she learned minimal control of the Force from the famed Dark Woman who discovered Ki-Adi-Mundi. However, Aurra was not strong enough to complete the early training of a Padawan, and was dismissed by the Dark Woman. This angered Aurra, and she hated the Jedi fiercely from that point on. After learning that she could use her minimal contact with the Force to hunt down others, she became a bounty hunter. She was noted for her ability to hunt down and kill the Jedi Knights, and she had several lightsabers in her trophy case to mark her prowess. Shortly before the Battle of Naboo, Aurra was retained in an effort to locate and kill the secretive Jedi Master, Sharad Hett. Since she was familiar with the streets of Mos Espa, assignment was easy for her. Despite the efforts of Ki-Adi-Munid, she was able to assassinate Hett. Aurra Sing was a female humanoid with pasty, white skin, three-jointed fingers, and thin limbs, she was quite striking in her appearance. She also had an antenna plugged into the left side of her top-knotted skull.
