C'baoth, Jorus
A Jedi Master lost with the Outbound Flight team, Jorus was born on the planet Bortras. He graduated from Mirnic University, and attended the Jedi Training center on Kamparas before coming under the tutelage of an unknown Jedi Master. After a total of four years of training, Jorus was eleveted to the rank of Jedi Knight. Twelve years later, he became a Jedi Master. He served the Old Republic in a number of ways, most notably as a negotiator and mediator for many of the galaxy's racial conflicts. When Palpatine readied himself to usurp the galactic throne, he had Jorus cloned shortly before the launch of the Outbound Flight Project. Jorus and the other five Jedi Masters on the Project were killed when their ship was attacked by Thrawn, at the order of Palpatine himself. A clone was eventually created, but it was on of Palpatine's first attempts to bring a clone to maturity faster than a full year. Thus, C'baoth's clone was unstable. It did, however, retain its use of the Force, and Palpatine trained it in the use of the Dark Side of the Force.

C'baoth, Joruus
Jorus C'baoth's unstable clone, grown by Palpatine too fast in an attempt to obtain a new Dark Jedi Master. Joruus was unstable enough to have killed the last Dark Jedi on an unspecified planet. He was later assigned by Palpatine to guard the Mount Tantiss installation on Wayland. Joruus claims to have killed the Guardian of Wayland, and he has routinely slaughtered the inhabitants as well as visitors to Wayland in order to secure his position. Joruus was pulled into Imperial service by Grand Admiral Thrawn, who sought C'baoth's help in creating a huge army of clones to serve the new Empire. Joruus had his own mad delusions of ruling the Empire, and was often at odds with Thrawn's plans. Joruus was partially successful in his quest to alter and shape the minds of the clones they were creating, but their plans fell for naught when the New Republic discovered Wayland. There, in a titanic battle in the throne room in Mount Tantiss, Joruss was killed by Mara Jade.

Cairnwick, Drun
This highly charismatic Alliance supporter led much of the resistance in the Minos Cluster during the Galactic Civil War. Cairnwick was training to become a Jedi Knight when the Empire took control of the galaxy. He hid on his homeworld of Adarlon, where he told his neighbors about the atrocities the Empire was committing. This incited the natives of Adarlon to rebel against Imperial control, and brought a group of stormtroopers down on his headquarters. Cairnwick had fled before they arrived, and managed to remain in hiding a few more years before he was eventually captured. He was arrested shortly after the Battle of Yavin, but still managed to rally support for the Alliance on the prison world Gesaril. He managed to rescue a group of Alliance POWs before stormtroopers could discover what had happened and seal the prison.

Callista
A Jedi Knight from Chad III, she grew up with her family on an ocean ranch, migrating on the Algic Current with the herds of tsaelke. When she accepted the assignement to intercept and disable the Eye of Palpatine, she and her lover, Geith, were unable to completely eliminate the threat of the ship. So, Callista decided to stay behind and try to disable the ship while Geith returned to get more help. When Geith was killed during his escape attempt, Callista sacrificed her physical body and left her Force-aura in the ship's automated firing computer. When Luke Skywalker, Cray Mingla, and Nichos Marr rediscovered the Eye, Callista fired on them, thinking that they were Imperial troops come to recover the ship. Then, Irek activated the ship's remote controls, re-initiatiing its original mission. Callista was unable to determine the causes, but she was able to sense Luke's string Force-presence when he was brought on board. She helped him rescue Cray and Nichos, but refused Luke's attempts to store her consciousness in a computer. However, when Cray decided to stay behind and detonate the ship, she gave Callista her own physical body. Callista escaped the Eye, but she could not longer touch the Force. So, while she loved Luke, she felt that they could not be together forever. The two tried everything they could think of to help her regain her Force sensitivity, but she only succeeded in finding the Dark Side. She vowed that, if the Dark Side was all she could touch, then she wanted nothing to do with the Force. This opened a rift between herself and Luke, which widened with each failure. When the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 was attacked by Admiral Daala's fleet, Callista took matters into her own hands, and set out to strike a blow against the Empire, even without the abilities of the Force. She commandeered a TIE Bomber and landed on the Knight Hammer, quickly sabotaging the ship's complement of TIE Bombers to detonate their payloads and rip out the Super-class Star Destroyer's engines. She then went to confront Daala, allowing the Dark Side to wash over her as she tried to kill Daala. Daala succeeded in stunning Callista, while the Knight Hammer plunged into the core of Yavin. Callista was not killed when the ship exploded, however. She recovered, and escaped in one of the command-level emergency pods. She fled the New Republic and Luke, setting out to break through the barrier of the Dark Side in order to recover her powers. She felt that she needed to do this herself, and sent a final message to Luke, asking him to understand. Her travels led her to Nam Chorios, where she was drawn into the web of Taselda and Beldorion the Hutt. She tried to learn about the Force from both former Jedi, but was unable to truly regain her power. Taselda enslaved her with the promise of returned strength, using Callista to strike at Beldorion. After escaping the old woman, Callista realized that she was trying too hard to restore her Force sensitivity. She felt that this would lead herto the Dark Side, so she allowed herself to become Beldorion’s slave as well. This fear - the fear of falling into the Dark Side completely - was what kept Callista from rejoining Luke. She came to understand the strange relationship between the Force in the Spooks and the Therans, and joined one of their troops in working to keep the drochs from leaving the planet. It was Callista who re-initiated Leia Organa-Solo’s lightsber training, while they were spending time in a Theran camp. After the defeat of Dzym and Seti Ashgad, Callista again fled Luke, joining Umolly Darm and Be’ as rock ivory hunters until she found her way in the Force.

Car’das, Jorj
This man was an up-and-coming smuggler when the Clone Wars broke out. 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 small but successful smuggling operation, although he was small compared to what the Hutts had. About fifteen years after the Clone Wars, Car'das was commandeered by one of the Dark Jedi 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. It was during this time that Car'das also began amassing a huge library of datacards, storing information away like it was 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. 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 Caamas 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' fortess 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 Pellaeon, after saying their goodbyes to Car'das.

Caves of Masposhani
Beldorion was placed deep in these underground caverns without light, during his Jedi training. The exercise was designed to force young students to rely on the Force, rather than sight, in order to find their way out.

Cavv
Sienn Sconn’s uncle, Cavv supposedly studied the use of the Force under the Jedi Master Yoda. It was Cavv, drawing from Yoda’s teachings, who spent a great deal of time with Sconn. Cavv’s lessons to Sconn included keeping Sconn’s thoughts on the present and the job at hand, rather than dreaming about the future.

Cerean
This race of near-humans is native to the planet Cerea. In nearly all aspects, Cereans resemble humans. Their heads, however, are much larger than a humans, with a cranial cavity that extends some 12-20 centimeters above their foreheads. This elongated skull is topped with a flowing knot of hair. Contained within the skull is a binary brain, which gives the Cereans an advanced capacity for thinking and meditation. The biological needs of a second brain are supported in the Cerean physiology by a second heart. As a race, Cereans tended to be isolationists, preferring to live in a low-tech environment away from the bustle of the Old Republic. However, in the last years of the Old Republic, the younger generation of Cereans decided that they wanted to have things that were commonplace in the rest of the galaxy, life starships and speeder bikes. This led to a generational battle that was decided by the Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi.

Chamma
A Jedi Master who was teaching just prior to the Great Sith War. Andur Sunrider was initially apprenticed to him.

Chitter
This large, blue-skinned, bird-like alien was studying at the Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 when Anakin Solo first attended the academy.

Chosen One
This individual is prophecied by ancient Jedi legends whose origins have been lost over the millennia. The basic premise of the prophecy is that a being will be born of the Force, seemingly brought into the world simply by the presence of midi-chlorians. This being would be incredibly connected to the Force, with a high level of skills even before training. Eventually, the prophecy proclaims that the Chosen One will bring balance to the Force throughout the galaxy.

Chosen One
This was the name of a fanatical cult leader whose followers sought to expand terrorist activity on the planet Lannik, in the decade leading up to the Battle of Naboo. This Chosen One hired the bounty hunter Aldar Beedo to eliminate Even Piell, the Jedi Master who singlehandedly fought off seven terrorists during a skirmish. (IG1)

Chu'unthor
This ancient Republic Fleet Systems cruiser was huge, at nearly two kilometers in length and forty meters in height. The Chu'unthor was used as a sort of mobile space station used by the ancient Jedi Knights. It provided ample space for 10,000 Jedi, along with training and medical facilities. It could be dispatched to anywhere in the galaxy to help resolve conflicts. Many of its corridors and training centers had clear, transparisteel covers that allowed the Jedi to have a full view of the galaxy. The Chu'unthor served faithfully until it was dispatched to the planet Dathomir, where the Jedi were in battle with the Force-wielding Nightsisters. After a truce was formed between the two sides, the Chu'unthor - which held a good deal of Jedi lore and teachings - was abandoned by the Jedi, who left the planet. One of the creators of the truce, the Jedi Master Yoda, asked that th ship be left alone until a young Jedi came to free the planet from the Nightsisters. Three hundred years later, Luke Skywalker fulfilled this prophecy.

Chun, Bruck
This Jedi apprentice was a contemporary of Obi-Wan Kenobi, during the time they spent at the Jedi training center on Coruscant. Chun was a typical bully, who believed that he had more aptitude in the Force that anyone, including young Obi-Wan. He nicknamed Obi-Wan "Oafy-Wan" after he tripped and fell, bringing Chun down with him in the process. Bruck was two months younger than Obi-Wan, and was easily distinguished by his ice-blue eyes and shocking white hair. Chun hoped to impress Qui-Gon Jinn, when the Jedi Master arrived to take a new Padawan apprentice, and arranged for Obi-Wan to be sent to Bandomeer after claiming he started a fight. While Obi-Wan was dispatched to the Agricultural Corps on Bandomeer, Qui-Gon didn’t choose a new Padawan, and Bruck was left on Coruscant.

Cilghal
A female Mon Calamari Ambassador to the New Republic, she is found to have a good deal of sensitivity to The Force. She joined Luke Skywalker’s Jedi Academy, and became a Jedi healer. Her ties to her uncle, Admiral Ackbar, and her outstanding service to the Mon Calamari people eventually led her into politics, and she became Calamari’s Senator to the New Republic. When the Diversity Alliance rose to power, Cilghal suggested that the New Republic send a delegation to Ryloth to determine what they were trying to do. This came on the heels of the testimony of several of Skywalker’s young Jedi students, who had been imprisoned by the Diversity Alliance against their will.

Clatear
This alien race has a 600-year-old feud with the Nhoras race. Five separate generations of Jedi Knights failed to resolve the conflict, and the Empire simply let them be. The Clatear were heavily suppressed by Imperial forces, and thus learned how to fight better than the Nhoras. When the revelation of the Caamas Document brought forth many inter-species feuds, the Clatear decided that the time was right to attack the Nhoras and end the feud.

Clone Wars
A major battle during the last years of the Old Republic, in which the Jedi Knights worked with the armed forces of the Republic to repel a threat to the galaxy.

Codex
This ancient Jedi artifact was created by the Cthol race. Resembling a small, metallic pyramid, the Codex was designed to measure and manipulate the Force. It is a dull gold color, and is covered with mystic engravings and small crystal-studded patterns. When used by a properly trained Jedi, the Codex glows slightly and hums. Among its many uses, the Codex can locate disturbances in the Force. It can also augment a Jedi's ability to call upon and use the Force. Continued use of the Codex makes the user susceptible to the Dark Side of the Force. When used, however, the Codex sends tremendous shock waves throught the Force. This is what first attracted the Dark Jedi Halbret to it. When it was later found by Pann, the Codex had become brittle and easily damaged.

Combat Sense
A technique employed by the Jedi Knights, it allows a Jedi to focus most of their attention on the battle at hand. The Jedi sees enemies as bright images, and can direct the flow of the battle while viewing enemy positioning.

Control
The first of the Force skills which Jedi Knights are able to use, Control is an internal skill which can be used to recognize the Force in oneself and in the universe.

Control Mind
A technique discovered by the Jedi Knights, in which the Force is used to take control os another person. It was considered a product of the Dark Side of the Force.

Cosmic Balance, The
A religion embraced by the Bakurans. It is symbolized by a half-black, half-white ring. Followers believe that the Jedi Knights upset the universal balance through their use of The Force. The universe is ruled by the Cosmos, and there is a faith in a Cosmic Wheel which is always turning and re-establishing balance.

Crado
This Cathar Jedi was apprenticed to Vodo Siosk-Baas, along with his lover, Sylvar. He idolized Exar Kun, seeing Kun as a strong source of power and skill. When Exar Kun rose to power as a Dark Lord of the Sith, he took Crado as a possessed apprentice when the Sith holocron exploded and sent shards of Dark Side energy into Crado. Under the spell of the ancient Sith, Crado accompanied Oss Willum to Ambria to kill Master Thon. In a vicious battle with Nomi Sunrider, Thon, and his lover Sylvar, Crado and Oss Willum tried to use the Dark Side creatures of Lake Natth to do their bidding, but were defeated. Crado nearly killed Sylvar because of the Dark Side influence, then fled to escape them while Oss Willum was captured. Crado returned to Exar Kun, then accompanied Aleema to the Cron Cluster, where they tried to use an ancient Sith weapon to destroy the arriving Old Republic fleet. Aleema succeeded in decimating the fleet, but could not control the weapon. In the end, she caused ten stars in the Cron Cluster to explode, killing herself and Crado.

Creation of Monsters, The
Third volume of the Dark Side Compendium.

Crion
This incredibly rich man was Xanatos’ father, and was a native of the planet Telos. He was the wealthiest, and most powerful man on the planet, but he couldn’t offer his son what he really wanted: to become a Jedi Knight. When Qui-Gon Jinn discovered Xanatos, Crion allowed the boy to be taken for training. However, he secretly maintained contact with his son. In Xanatos’ absense, Crion became more and more greedy, and put into motion a plan to overtake a neighboring planet and steal its resources. Xanatos was drawn into the plan, until Jedi Master Yoda sent Xanatos and Qui-Gon back to Telos on a mission. The exact nature of the mission was not provided, but Qui-Gon quickly discovered the plot set in motion by Crion. Qui-Gon tried to expose the old man and his son – Qui-Gon’s own Padawan apprentice – but the people of Telos instead formed two distinct fashions and sparked a civil war. In the battle, Qui-Gon was forced to cut down Crion with his lightsaber, first cutting the fingers from one of Crion’s hands before dispatching him. Xanatos watched in horror, then recovered one of the rings from his father’s severed fingers. He touched the hot metal to his cheek, leaving a crescent-shaped scar as a reiminder of Crion’s death and Qui-Gon’s seeming treachery.

Cronal
This Dark Jedi was a scientist as well and an adept with the Force. He attempted to twist the Trailian race into Dark Side monsters via genetic manipulation and Dark Side magic, hoping to bring down the New Republic. His plans were thwarted by a group of New Republic agents, accompanied by Jedi Knights, discovered his castle and defeated him in combat. However, the agents never found his body.

Croym
This Dark Jedi Master discovered the location of the Heart of the Universe and hoped to use it to take control of the galaxy. He secreted the gem away in his tower castle, located inside a barren, cold asteroid. The tower was sealed from the vacuum of space, and was surrounded by a maze of physical and mental traps. Anyone trying to gain access would have to fend their way through random blaster bolts, energy fields, Dark Side creatures, and incredible illusions. Croym lured a group of Alliance agents to his asteroid by making information about the Heart available to them, hoping to discover a Force-sensitive being among them he could twist into as assistant and slave. Unfortunately, the agents managed to see through Croyn's illusions and defeat the maze to recover the Heart.

Cthol
This ancient race was extremely interested in the sciences as well as the Force, and they developed the Codex out of their curiosity with how the Force affects the material world. When they first activated the Codex, it attracted the attention of the Dark Jedi Halbret, who travelled to the Cthol homeworld to seek out the source of the strange energy he flelt. When he discovered the Codex, Hakbret uttery destroyed the Cthol race and stole the Codex for his own uses.
