planetary spaceports and orbiting space stations. [HLL]

planet was ravaged by a preemptive Republic strike due to their aggressive
weapons development program. The bounty hunter Boushh was an Ubese. Their
language is typified by its metallic sounds. [RJ, TJP]
- Ubiqtorate: This division of Imperial Intelligence
oversaw all of the activities of the agency at the highest levels. It was
considered the true center of Imperial Intelligence, and it formulated strategies
for the entire agency. Ubiqtorate members were anonymous, often unknown even
to their subordinates. [ISB]

landspeeders, sail barges, and weapons platforms such as the HAVr A9 floating

that live and work on Bespin's Cloud City. Ugnaughts are usually found in
the Tibanna gas processing plants, or as general laborers in the bowels of
the floating city. [ESB, MTS]
- Ugor: A species of intelligent unicellular protozoans.
Ugors grow as large as 1 meter in diameter. They can extrude up to 30 pseudopodia
at a time, some of which contain visual and other sensory growths, or even
openings and membranes that allow them to speak. Ugors move by oozing from
place to place or by controlling specialized environment suits built with
two arms and legs. They come from a star system called Paradise, a junk-filled
asteroid field that they administer. To them, garbage is holy. Every piece
of junk is a religious relic. They had an exlusive contract with the Empire
to collect garbate jettisoned from Imperial fleet ships and store it in their
garbage-dump system. Gambling, bargaining, and cheating are the high moral
standards the Ugors live by. Other scavenger species, like the Squib, are
considered business rivals to be crushed and eliminated. [GG4, SH]
- Ukio: This agricultural world is one of the
top-five producers of foodstuffs for the New Republic. During Grand Admiral
Thrawn's military campaign against the New Republic, Ukio was forced to surrender
to the Empire after Thrawn demonstrated a powerful new weapon. To those on
the planet's surface, it appeared the Empire had developed turbolasers capable
of firing through planetary shields. This was actually accomplished by an
elaborate illusion. While Thrawn's Star Destroyer fired bolts of energy at
the shield, cloaked Dreadnaughts hiding invisibly beneath the shield fired
matching bolts with uncanny timing. The Ukian overliege, fearing the destructive
power of such a weapon, surrendered to the Empire. For the rest of Thrawn's
campaign, the Ukian food distribution and processing facilities, with its
vast farming and livestock grazing regions, were under Imperial control. [LC]
