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. Darth Sidious 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.

Thirty years after the Battle of Endor, Admiral Ackbar became a member of the Resistance, supported by the New Republic, which worked in opposition to the First Order. Headquartered on the planet D'Qar, Ackbar was present with other Resistance leaders as they put together a plan to destroy the First Order's super-weapon at Starkiller Base.

In 19 BBY, Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin, Mace Windu, and Kit Fisto went to Chancellor Palpatine's office to force him to relinquish the Emergency Powers that had been given to him by the Galactic Senate, which enabled him to maintain a larger measure of control than one in position was intended to possess.

The All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) was a four-legged behemoth of destruction utilized by the First Galactic Empire in their ongoing battle against the Alliance to Restore the Republic. At least five AT-ATs were deployed during the Battle of Hoth, with their primary mission to take out the Rebels' ion cannon and shield generators. The AT-AT contingent was led by General Maximilian Veers. Once this was accomplished, the Empire was able to commence with an orbital bombardment, but most of the rebels managed to evacuate before this could take place. Wedge Antilles managed to take down one AT-AT with his snowspeeder by binding its legs with his harpoon and tow cable. With its movement restricted, the AT-AT tumbled over. Luke Skywalker, whose ship had gone down, succeeded in destroying another AT-AT.
