Bakura

Planet on the edge of Old/New Republic/Empire space, on the far edge of the Outer Rim (Star Wars expanded universe). First planet targeted by the Ssi-Ruuk aliens for colonisation and entechment. Ruled by Imperial Governor Nereus and later by Gaeriel Captison. Saved by a coalition of imperial and rebel forces.

The planet is a major manufacturer of repulsorlifts. Droids are almost unknown, and the local religion, the Balance, is hostile to Jedi.

Ruled officially by a planetary senate but in fact by the governor during the imperial period. Planetary defences are run by Petr Thanas, who was sent there as a punishment for refusing to massacre insurgents at a slave mine. After the fall of the governor, it is ruled by the senate and is affiliated to the New Republic.

Helghast

Powerful shape-shifting monster from the Darklands, in the world of Magnamund. Appear most prominently in Lone Wolf 2: Fire on the Water and the corresponding novels (Legends of Lone Wolf 3 in Britain, 3 and 4 in America).

In its true form, a Helghast looks like an undead creature with a rotting face and glowing red eyes, and wears a long hooded cloak. Helghast can, however, disguise themselves as humans and other creatures, and are often used as spies and assassins. Very strong (for a monster encountered at this point in the series), they are also immune to ordinary weapons and can only be damaged by magic weapons. (Because Helghast are undead, the Sommerswerd does them double damage).

Lone Wolf is tracked and attacked by a number of Helghast while attempting to reach Durenor. Most importantly, the tunnel into Hammerdal is overrun with the creatures. There is also a Helghast in the Ragadorn Ale-House Brawl board game.

The word is both singular and plural.
