Teezl

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

A teezl, also referred to as a screamer, was a non-sentient, bluish, luminous, swirling creature that could be used as a natural hyperspace communications amplifier.

[edit] History

Teezls were thought to be extinct, but the Galactic Empire found one shortly after the Battle of Hoth, and a large armada was assigned to protect it. The Alliance to Restore the Republic found out about the teezl in the Empire's possession, and formulated a plan to destroy it.

After the Imperial fleet was infiltrated by members of Rogue Squadron, the teezl was destroyed.

[edit] Overview

These luminous masses were capable of taking in electronically supplied input and broadcast it to any receptor in the galaxy. This potentially meant that, once installed in a location, the teezl would allow virtually instantaneous communication between far flung colonies in a galaxy. The creature itself was, however, not intelligent or sentient though it was still a living being. It was obedient to its masters and commenced any orders it received.

The teezl also possessed the ability to create psychic shrieks that was capable of creating a powerful static that blocked all communication channels except for those wavelengths that the screamer was ordered not to interrupt making it a potent jamming tool.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Curtis Saxton has speculated on his Star Wars Technical Commentaries website that the teezl may somehow be connected to the Yuuzhan Vong.
