Star Wars/A

Abyssins
Abyssins are an alien race who hail from the planet Byss. They are a sentient bipedal race that stand between 1.7-2.1 meters in height and have a swarthy complexion, short dense tufts of hair, a stout nose and a large cyclopean eye. Biologically, Abyssins are bred for efficiency, which is required for the harsh desert conditions that make life on Byss so difficult. Their natural adaptability enables them to heal from nearly any injury and regenerate missing limbs. Abyssin cell structure is so resilient that they completely grow new cells every 80 standard hours. Abyssin culture is one of a tribal nature and roaming packs of Abyssins will travel as nomads across the deserts of their home world in search of valuable resources such as water. With notable exception, Abyssins rarely leave their homeworld and are not very common in the galaxy. One Abyssin of note, Myo, was seen at Chalmun's Cantina in Mos Eisley on Tatooine sharing a drink with Muftak, Lirin Car'n and Djas Puhr. Another Abyssin, Cyceyed, was seen at the cantina during the night shift and fell asleep at his table, prompting the bouncer, Tork, to forcibly eject him from the building.

Ackbar
Ackbar was a member of the aquatic Mon Calamari race. He was a military member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic holding the rank of Admiral. He was the head of the Republic Fleet and spear-headed the offensive attack against the Death Star II at the Battle of Endor. Admiral Ackbar was based on the Republic frigate Home One and outlined the Alliance's attack strategy to the fighter pilots. During the battle itself, the Alliance forces believed that because the Death Star was not completely constructed yet, that its major weapons systems, in particular its super-laser, was not yet operational. Emperor Palpatine surprised the fleet by firing the super-laser, decimating an Alliance frigate. Upon seeing this, Ackbar declared, "It's a trap!" and ordered the fleet out of range of the Death Star so the smaller fighters could mount their offensive. Admiral Ackbar was one of the survivors of the Battle of Endor.

Ackmena
Ackmena was one of the bartenders in the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine, and she was a favorite personage of the regular patrons there. Unlike the day shift bartender, Wuher, Ackmena's friendliness and open personality livened the atmosphere of the room immensely. She would routinely lend money to needy patrons and offer free drinks on special occasions. Assisting her at the bar was a diminutive female barmaid (name unknown), and a tall, blue-faced bouncer named Tork. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Imperial Intelligence suspected subversive activity was taking place on Tatooine. As such, a mandatory curfew was placed on Mos Eisley forcing everyone to return to their homes. The patrons at Chalmun's were extremely put out by the decree and became unruly. Ackmena assuaged growing tempers by offering a round of drinks to the entire room – on the house. In order to keep everything as amicable as possible, she began singing a song entitled “Goodnight, But Not Goodbye”. Ackmena and Tork successfully convinced everyone to leave the cantina peacefully.

Advozsec
Advozsec are a near-human alien race who hail from the planet Riflor in the Riflorii system. They are a sentient bipedal race characterized by an enlarged, hairless cranium, black, bulbous eyes, pointed ears and a horn that protrudes prominently from the center of their heads. They are classified as reptomammals and are vegetarians by nature. Riflor was a geologically unstable planet, prone to frequent volcanic eruptions. The geothermal hot springs forced the species to evolve thick skin in order to survive. The large, black eyes of the Advozsec were adaptations to the clouds of volcanic ash which darkened Riflor's skies. Though they were most comfortable in the naturally dim light of their homeworld, Advozsec could adjust to levels of light found on other worlds with minimal discomfort. A male member of the Advozse race is Bom Vimdin, who was one of many patrons seen at Chalmun's Cantina on the day that Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi came in seeking passage to the Alderaan system.

Alderaan
Alderaan was an inhabited Type 1 terrestrial planet located in the Alderaan system in the Core Worlds. It was the second of five planets in orbital rotation around the star of Alderaan and was was located 5,000 light years from the Galactic Core. In 19 BBY, Galactic Senator Bail Organa adopted infant Leia Skywalker, whose mother, Padmé Amidala Skywalker, had died during childbirth. To protect from her father, the fallen Jedi Darth Vader, Bail took the infant to Alderaan and raised her as his own. Leia grew up a princess of Alderaan, and though most knew that Bail and his wife Breha were not Leia's natural parents, none of them suspected that she was the daughter of a Sith Lord. In 0 BBY, Emperor Palpatine dissolved the Galactic Senate, handing direct control of Imperial star systems to regional governors. As such, high-ranking military commanders such as Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin were allowed to take indiscriminate action against any world they chose. As the commander of the Empire's super battle-station, the Death Star, Tarkin decided to make an example of those who might wish to oppose the Emperor and arbitrarily decided to turn the Death Star's weapons systems against Alderaan. Forcing her to watch in horror, Tarkin ordered the Death Star to fire its super-laser. It produced a giant beam of green energy, which destroyed Alderaan with a single shot.

Aqualish
Aqualish are a sentient bipedal species who hail from the aquatic world of Ando. There are three distinct species of Aqualish, the Quara, which were the most common species, the Aquala, who were distinguishible from the Quara due to their cupped, fin hands and the Ualaq - the results of genetic mutation, distinguished from the Quara and the Aquala by their second set of eyes.

Astromech droid
Astromech droids, also referred to as Astro droids, were highly functional computerized robots that were used for support functions on single-pilot starfighters. These droids specialized in astronomical/navigation programs and were equipped to duplicate the functions of a nav computer, commonly used on larger ships. Astromech droids were often used for plotting hyperspace coordinates, interfacing with larger computer systems and effecting minor mechanical repairs as needed. Most starfighters were equipped with an exterior housing socket where an astromech droid could be installed during flight missions. Astromechs were capble of independent action and movement, but were usually restricted by whatever programming was installed into the unit. Astromechs that had been placed into service for extended periods of time were even known for developing their own personalities. Unlike the more humanoid protocol droids, astromech droids were not programmed for inter-personal communication. In place of voice programming, astromechs communicated via a series of beeps, whistles and alarms. By and large, this string of sounds was indecipherable to human life forms, but more advanced astromechs could use these sounds to express intent, alarm, discontent, surprise and to some extents, even pain.
