Sentience / Legends Sentience was the ability of a species to think intelligently . It was commonly determined by the being ' s ability to reason , speak , and manipulate tools . Creatures that completely lacked that ability were classified as non - sentient , while those that appeared to have emerging sentience were classified as semi - sentient . Droids , despite not being technically alive to begin with , were regarded as sentients . Definition . According to " The Essential Guide to Alien Species " , ghostwritten by Ann Margaret Lewis based on data collected by Senior Anthropologist Mammon Hoole , " a species given the sentient definition is considered able to reason and understand abstract metaphorical concepts and ideas , make and use tools , and communicate with written or spoken language . " Species that did not reason at all and survived via their natural instincts were classified as non - sentient , or sometimes as sub - sentient . Non - sentience did not imply the lack of any form of intelligence . Species that appeared to have emerging sentience were classified as semi - sentient . These included species that had very primitive capabilities to manipulate tools , use language , and / or solve problems . Examples included the Arkanian dragon , the Zillo Beast , the Bafforr tree , the wampa , and the sarlacc . History . In the waning years of the Galactic Republic , an Annual Mid - Rim Domesticated Sub - Sentient Show was held for non - sentient creatures . The Galactic Empire would often recategorize sentient species such as the Wookiees as non - sentient , allowing it to enslave them without formally violating the laws protecting sentient beings from such abuse . Behind the scenes . In real - world usage , " " and " " can have varying meanings in different religions and philosophies . In the " Star Wars " universe , however , the two terms are used interchangeably .

A99 aquata breather / Legends The A99 aquata breather , or aqua breather , also called a Jedi breathing device , was a small breathing apparatus that allowed oxygen - breathing lifeforms to survive underwater , in space , or among noxious gas for up to two hours . Jedi Knights commonly carried aquata breathers during field operations . Description . The device utilized filtering mechanisms to separate external gaseous mixtures and relied on miniature tanks of compressed oxygen to provide breathable gas . These were generally used underwater or in other hazardous environments . They typically weighed 0 . 2 kgs . and cost 350 credits . The A99 model had a number of different variants customized for use by alien species ; often supplying not oxygen but an equally important gas . The antiox variant , commonly used by Kel Dor such as Jedi Master Plo Koon , supplied not only Dorin gases but also protected the wearer ' s face from the harsh effects of oxygen . History . Jedi Qui - Gon Jinn and Obi - Wan Kenobi used aquata breathers when traveling to the underwater city of Otoh Gunga on Naboo . Obi - Wan would use the same A99 over a decade later , after he and Boga fell into a sinkhole abyss on the remote planet of Utapau , trying to escape Palpatine ' s newly unleashed Order 66 . Behind the scenes . According to Hasbro , Obi - Wan Kenobi kept an A99 aquata breather in a chest in his hut on Tatooine , notwithstanding the lack of water on the desert planet . U . K . Concept Artist Kun Chang helped develop the look of the aquata breathers . " One idea for the breathers that everyone loved - - but ultimately wasn ' t used - - was that Obi - Wan and Qui - Gon were going to pick up a kind of jellyfish and place it over their faces which would enable them to breathe underwater , " reveals Kun .

ZA - 13 ZA - 13 was an Imperial factory space station located in the Omar system . It originally manufactured the hyperdrive units for the TIE Avenger fighters . History . When Admiral Demetrius Zaarin ' s plan to capture Emperor Palpatine and rule the Empire failed , he and his co - conspirators fled . Zaarin and his allies would then attempt to loot Imperial facilities and space stations as they fled . One space station that Zaarin ' s forces looted was the factory ZA - 13 . ZA - 13 ' s survival was critical , as Zaarin ' s fleeing forces already destroyed every other TIE Avenger factory station in the Omar system . Imperial Admiral Thrawn was dispatched to secure ZA - 13 and drive off Zaarin ' s looters . Thrawn ' s task force , with the aid of ace Imperial pilot Maarek Stele , drove off Zaarin ' s ships , the " Assassin " - class corvettes " Z - Oz Group " , the modular conveyor s " Z - Cod Group " and the YT - 1300 light freighter " Coral " . With the loss of several other TIE Avenger facilities across the Empire , the recapture of ZA - 13 became a top priority . Maarek Stele again was chosen to be the lead flight as he had to escort personnel to ZA - 13 while repelling another attack by Zaarin ' s forces , led by the " Carrack " - class light cruiser " Z - Jumimi " and three CR90 corvettes from the " Z - Caplure Group " . The " Imperial " - class Star Destroyer " Render " arrived to relieve Stele . Thrawn was then given orders to guard the facility while it was converted from making hyperdrive units to full TIE Avenger production . During the conversion , however , Rebel raiders attacked the convoy , code name Rope 17 , that was bringing the parts for the conversion to ZA - 13 . The Rebel fighters and bombers were armed with their new Magnetic pulse warhead . Admiral Thrawn ' s forces quickly drove the Rebels off , and routed the origin of the raid . The Rebel raiding force came from a Rebel space station , " RS - 32 " , which manufactured Mag Pulse warheads . Thrawn knew this would be a chance to strike a major blow to the Rebels and sent most of his task force to capture " RS - 32 " , leaving two EF76 Nebulon - B escort frigates behind to defend ZA - 13 . Admiral Thrawn successfully captured " RS - 32 " , but while the brunt of his forces were away , the rogue Admiral Zaarin launched a strike on ZA - 13 , destroying the factory and a large number of the loyalist forces defending the facility . The loss of ZA - 13 further crippled the Galactic Empire ' s TIE Avenger production capabilities , ultimately providing Admiral Zaarin an edge over his adversaries .
Corusca Rainbow The Corusca Rainbow was an Immobilizer 418 cruiser under the command of Captain Uwlla Iillor . The ship was originally called the Black Asp and served in the Imperial Navy . In 6 . 5 ABY it was part of the force assigned to Rachuk sector under Admiral Devlia . She participated in a skirmish with Rogue Squadron in the Chorax system while attempting to capture the " Pulsar Skate " . Lieutenant Potin was an officer at this time . The " Black Asp " gravity well projectors dragged the squadron out of hyperspace en route to Talasea . Unfortunately for the " Asp " , the Rogues were able to force her retreat . Following the loss of Borleias , Captain Iillor led the " Black Asp " in a defection to the New Republic . Renamed " Corusca Rainbow " , the ship and its crew were given a vital role in the siege of Coruscant . The " Corusca Rainbow " was to exit at the edge of the Coruscant system before the main fleet to determine if Rogue Squadron had successfully downed Coruscant ' s planetary shields . If it detected no shields , it would allow the fleet to exit directly above Coruscant ; if the shields were intact , it would activate its gravity well generators to pull the fleet from hyperspace and avoid its defenses . Rogue Squadron brought the shields down at the last minute , allowing the " Rainbow " just enough time to power down the generators and join the fight . Early in the Yuuzhan Vong War , the " Corusca Rainbow " was assigned to the defense of Agamar . Admiral Traest Kre ' fey moved the ship to the New Republic fleet gathered at Ithor and used it to prevent the Yuuzhan Vong ships from leaving after they devastated that world .

As an Imperial officer , Treece served aboard several Star Destroyers and rose quickly through the ranks , eventually commanding the " Imperial " - class " Punisher " before being placed in charge of Cloud City . During Treece ' s time in Cloud City he decided to double the Tibanna gas production in order to cover up the fact that he was taking part of the profits for himself , thus becoming an embezzler . Since this required the Ugnaught laborers to work beyond their physical capacity , they decided to sabotage the operation by installing several talking bomb s throughout the structure of Cloud City . The Imperials quickly evacuated the city and Treece called in a squad of bombtroopers to disarm the bombs . When the troopers encountered their first bomb , they were startled to find that it could talk , and it apparently wanted to help the troopers disarm it , but it was a ruse as it was actually instructing the troopers to arm the bomb instead . The charge detonated and all of the Imperials were killed except for Treece , who soon found that the former administrator of Cloud City , Lando Calrissian , had returned . The two agreed to a truce in order to recover Lobot , who was also damaged by the Ugnaughts , in order to repair him and have him deactivate the remaining bombs . They were successful , but when all of the bombs had been found and disarmed , Treece turned on Calrissian and shoved him off the Cloud City platform to fall onto Ugnaught Surface floating a kilometer below . Lobot rushed to find a life - jet and jumped to save Calrissian , but Treece assumed them both to be doomed . Rebel X - wing pilots Luke Skywalker and Shira Brie arrived in Cloud City to investigate the disappearance of Lando . Treece pinned down the two pilots with his blaster , and called for reinforcements . But when more Imperial troops arrived , so too did Lando and Lobot with the aid of the Ugnaught " Action Tidings " news crew and their floatboat . Lando attempted to bluff Treece by telling him that if the Empire didn ' t abandon Cloud City Lobot would re - arm the talking bombs , and destroy the city . Treece foiled his plan by shooting and disabling Lobot , the only one apparently able to re - arm the bombs without triggering their self - destruct mechanisms . But Luke used the Force to re - arm the bombs and warned the Imperials to evacuate , and even set off several explosions to emphasize his point . The Imperials , including Treece , retreated and left Cloud City to return to full operation again . Lando decided to exact some revenge on Treece by sending the complete financial records of the funds he stole from Cloud City to the account of Darth Vader on Aargau . Treece vanished soon after , and was presumed executed .
