Master-Com was patched directly into the computer systems of The Wheel, and monitor virutally every aspect of the statiom at any time, including security and life support. When Imperial Commander Strom tried to take control of The Wheel on his own, he was forced to destroy Master-Com in order to reach Greyshade. Greyshade, however, revealed that Master-Com was not a single droid. A new and improved version of the Master-Com droid was activated, helping to thwart Strom's schemes. This new Master-Com unit was quite interested in the self-sufficiency of R2-D2 and C-3PO, and arranged for them to be freed after they were placed in storage for later reprogramming. When Greyshade confronted Master-Com about his interest in the droids, Master-Com explained that he simply wanted to have some friends. This new Master-Com unit also perished in a hail of Imperial blaster-fire, when it attempted to open Greyshade's personal docking bay so that the Administrator could escape from Strom. Luckily, it was able to transfer control of the station to a third body, which emerged from hiding to discovere that R2-D2 had recordings of all the treacherous activities of Greyshade and Strom.

Matale
this was one of the most powerful families who lived on theplanet Dantooine, during the centuries leading up to the Great Sith War. The Matale family was the bitter rival of the Sandral family, and many of the long-standing disputes stemmed from land ownership.

He claimed that it was in retaliation for the destruction of several Sandral droids that had wandered onto the Matale Grounds. Ahlan went to the Jedi enclave on Dantooine and demanded that the Jedi help mediate the dispute. The investigation revealed that Shen had, in fact, been at the Sandral Estate, but that he had fallen in love with Rahasia Sandral. Despite his misgivings, Ahlan realized that he couldn't control his son's life forever. He reluctantly agreed to a truce with Nurik Sandral, since their children were obviously in love. (KOTOR)

Matale, Shen
this young man, the son of Ahlan Matale, was kidnapped some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Ahlan, whose family had been in a feud with the Sandrals for many years, blamed the kidnapping on the Sandral family. He claimed that it was in retaliation for the destruction of several Sandral droids that had wandered onto the Matale Grounds. An investigation by the Jedi Knights revealed that Shen had been a prisoner at the Sandral Estate, but not because of the incident with the droids. Nurik Sandral had discovered that his own daughter, Rahasia, was in love with Shen, and they had been secretly meeting together in spite of the family feud. Nurik had Shen taken captive, but the Jedi Knights intervened and freed Shen. Nurik was forced to admit the kidnapping, and he and Ahlan formed a tenuous truce after learning of their children's love for one another. (KOTOR)

Mataou
this desert planet was located in the Anoat Sector of the galaxy, on the edge of the Ivax Nebula. Because of its location in relation to Ison, Mataou served as the primary jump-off for ships traveling Coreward from the outer end of the Corellian Trade Spine to the Ison Corridor. The Mataou Fuel Station also provided refueling facilities for starships moving along the Spine. Much of the planet's economy was based on the sale of ro hypa venom, and the snake wranglers who lived on its fiery surface claimed to be the toughest beings in the galaxy. (WOA33)

Mathal
this agent of the Black Sun organization was dispatched to Drongar during the height of the Clone Wars, to confront Admiral Tarnese Bleyd about his part in providing black-market bota for sale to the rest of the galaxy. Bleyd had no intention of bowing to Black Sun, and arranged to have Mathal eliminated. Bleyd lured Mathal into a remote section of his MedStar frigate and challenged him to a fight, a fight that Mathal eagerly accepted. The mercenary never had a chance, as Bleyd quickly killed him in order to avoid anyone stumbling onto their battle. Bleyd then returned Mathal's body to his starship, and arranged to make it appear that the Black Sun agent had left the MedStar. Bleyd set Mathal's ship to fly over Separatist-controlled space, where it was promptly shot down and destroyed. However, the ruse didn't fool the Black Sun spy known as Kaird, who later confronted Bleyd. Unknown to both parties, Mathal had been planning to steal bota for his own profit, a fact that was only revealed during the confrontation between Bleyd and Kaird. (MBS)

The Mathavus served as Darth Vader's flagship, during a mission to Dargulli to eliminate a possible Jedi Knight. When a distress signal came from an Alliance base near Yorn Skot, Vader allowed Admiral Coy to take his ship and intercept the rebels. Unfortunately for Coy, the Alliance had laid a trap for the Imperials. The ship which was intercepted by the Mathayus was a decoy, laden with explosives that were set to go off should the ship's hull be breached. First Officer Atali's team opened the ship up, setting off the explosives and badly damaging the Mathayus's hangar bay. The entire sidetrip had been arranged by Captain Dezsetes, as part of Grand Moff Trachta's plans to take over the galaxy. Vader, however, managed to survive the explosion. (SWI62, SWEB)

He was a former TIE Fighter pilot who hated war with a passion, but found himself fighting in every major battle since the start of the Galactic Civil War. During the evacuation and defense of Eclipse, Rigard's X-Wing was destroyed by Yuuzhan Vong fire, but he managed to eject in time to avoid being killed in the explosion. Despite being extra-vehicular, Rigard still ordered his pilots to regroup and take the battle to the aliens. (SBS)

Matoone, Berl
this man, a moisture farmer and noted drunkard, was brutally murdered on his homeworld of Beheboth, some four years after the Battle of Endor. Darial Anglethorn, the newly-elected peacekeeper of the city of Prosperity, investigated the crime, but disappeared for many days. When she was found by Luke Skywalker, it appeared that she had survived a bomb blast that killed a large group of Tirrith. Matoone's body was recovered from his moisture farm, and Dr. Hower Jerimott was surprised to discover that all of Berl's blood had become toxic, seemingly posioned from the inside out.

Matrin, Quorl
this man, a former member of the Imperial Senate, served as the Imperial Governor of the planet Stenos, during the height of the New Order. He struggled to keep the locals in line, while keeping an eye out for any rebellious activity. When Luke Skywalker found the lost statue of Vol, Rik Duel betrayed him and his Alliance team to Matrin. However, Matrin was unprepared for the actions of the native Stenaxes, who had been searching for Vol for generations.

(SWSB)

Matthews, Tev
this Alliance Colonel was involved with the Alliance almost from the beginning, serving with distinction during the liberation of Galleefryn II before opening up secret supply routes through the Corporate Sector.

Matthews, Ty
the son of Tev Matthews, Ty joined the Alliance at the young age of fifteen, eager to support the cause his father so deeply believed in. Ty was adopted by his father's old unit, after Tev was killed while under Imperial interrogation. Demonstrating a skill with circuit repair and an understanding of technology, Ty was eventually assigned as a computer technician aboard the Home One. He further distinguished himself while on the Mon Calamari crusier, and soon found himself on Admiral Ackbar's staff.

Matukai
this was an ancient philosophy of the Force, distinguished from that of the Jedi Knights and the Sith in its training methods and beliefs. Practitioners of the Matukai philosophy actually used their own bodies as the primary focal point of their abilities, rather than focusing on inanimate objects. The origins of the Matukai are found during the golden age of the Old Republic, in between the Great Sith War and the Light and Darkness War. The original practitioner was a woman from Karvoss II who discovered her sensitivity to the Force while performing meditative martial arts. She began teaching her skills to others, and the ranks of the Matukai expanded to some sixty invdividuals. By studying the Matukai teachings, even a being with minimal sensitivity to the Force could tap into in, using strenuous exercise and meditation to enhance their connection to the Force. The Jedi Order maintained a passing interest in the Matukai, but chose not to interfere because its followers were too old to be considered for Jedi training. The Jedi also ignored the Matukai because their numbers were never more than the original sixty or so practitioners. During the Jedi Purge, many Matukai were killed, but many also managed to hide themselves and survive. A handful of Matukai eventually presented themselves to Luke Skywalker's Jedi praxeum on Yavin 4 for training as Jedi Knights, after seeing that Master Skywalker's views on Jedi training were more open-minded than those of the former Jedi Order. Individual Matukai followers were distinguished by the unique tattoo that covered part of their forehead and surrounded the eyes. (SWI68, HG)

Mature Republic History
this was the term originally used by Jedi Master Odan-Urr to describe the galaxy's documented history from its golden age until the time of the Great Sith War.

Maungur
this creature, native to the polar regions of the planet Rishi, held a place in the mythology and legends of the planet. According to legend, the maungur was "conflict incarnate," not necessarily evil but representing the chaos which must be addressed by living beings. The name maungur meant "a spirit of violent, senseless conflict that cannot be reasoned with" in the language of the Rishii. Standing up to three meters in height, the average maungur resembled a shambling, four-legged beast with flexible, tentacle-like limbs known as kithaji. Their sharp snouts ended in a hooked beak, which was used to eviscerate their prey. (SWJ4)

Maur, Dovin

Mavron, Osira
this woman was a minor Imperial Army soldier, but was regularly recognized for her bravery in the face of battle. During the pacification of Praadost II, she fought against a group of dedicated Alliance forces who seemed to be possessed. When she entered their location and tried to root them out, she discovered that the Alliance soldiers were trying to protect a refugee camp hidden in an underground cave. Osira saw that the Imperial forces were expending huge amounts of ammunition and killing a large number of beings in order to wipe out a group of pitiful refugees. She immediately decided to defect from the Empire, no longer believing that strength and force were the correct tools for governing the galaxy. Once she was accepted by the Alliance, she spent her career teaching commandos about guerrilla warfare and Imperial tactics. (HR)

Mavvan
this was a type of Kobok warrior. (GORW)

Maw
this huge Boltrunian was one of the Dark Jedi who worked with Jerec. A former Jedi Knight who refused to take a Padawan, Maw became one of the Jedi Shadows, where his innate tracking skills were perfectly suited for the role. Maw one of the few Jedi who survived the Clone Wars and the devastating Jedi Purge, but he was hunted down by Jerec and twisted to the Dark Side of the Force. Maw was incredibly massive, loyal to no one but himself, and he had a flagrant disregard for human life. Although large and muscular, Maw was also quite fast in battle. When Jerec interrogated Qu Rahn about the location of the Valley of the Jedi, Maw was injured during Rahn's brief defense. The injuries required that Maw's legs be amputated and replaced with a small repulsorchair. He quickly adjusted to life in the chair, and used it to his advantage when battling an enemy. However, Maw's strength with the Dark Side of the Force gave him the ability to use the Force as a propulsion mechanism, conquering the ability to "fly" freely for many minutes. When injured, Maw would go into a berserker rage, spinning wildly in his chair while swinging his lightsaber in the Trispzest form of combat. For all his power, though, Maw was defeated in combat by Kyle Katarn during the search for the Valley of the Jedi. (DF2, WOTC)

Maw Cluster
see Maw, The (GORW)

Maw Installation
this Imperial base was established inside of The Maw. It was created by Grand Moff Tarkin, and was dedicated to the creation of new, powerful weapons. Tarkin intercepted the memos detailing the discovery of the Maw, quietly removing the exploration team and hiding all records from their travels. He then began working on blueprints and staffing assignment,s choosing scientists and engineers with no family ties to work in solitude. It was constructed without the Emperor's knowledge, and was operated by 180,000 engineers, scientists, and support staff. It is a conglomerate of asteroids and Imperial construction that houses laboratories, factories, and meeting halls. It was guarded by 4 Star Destroyers under the command of Tarkin's lover, Admiral Daala. The scientists at The Maw created the initial plans for the Death Star and the World Devastator. They were also responsible for the development of the Sun Crusher. However, when Han Solo and Chewbacca accidentally discovered the existence of the Maw some ten years after the death of Tarkin and the fall of the Empire, Daala was completely unprepared for the news. She took her fleet out of the Maw in an attempt to attack the New Republic, but was left undefended by Daala. Han and Kyp Durron managed to escape in the Sun Crusher, with the help of Qwi Xux, and warn the Republic of its existence. The New Republic tried to overtake the base, but Daala returned and destroyed it, rather than let it fall into Rebel hands. Many years later, the abandoned remains of the Maw were cobbled together by Han Solo and a team of engineers, so that the Maw could be used to hide Jedi students during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. This new space station became known as Shelter, and it was here that many wounded Jedi recovered from their injuries. When Luke Skywalker and his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker, set out for the Unknown Regions in search of Zonama Sekot, they left their infant son Ben at the Maw Installation, under the care of Kam Solusar and Tionne. (JS, JASB, EL1, UF)

Maw Luur
this immense creature was bio-engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong as a waste disposal system. A single maw luur could be placed aboard a worldship, where its vast capillary network absorbed waste materials and digested it, creating metals, nutrients, and air. The maw luur was often fitted into the living exoskeleton of the ship, providing life-sustaining nutrients to all parts of the ship. Many beings who encountered one of these creatures described it as a mating of a Sarlacc and atrash compactor. (EVC, EVR, UF)

Maw Shipyards
this was one of the three primary starship construction facilities that made up the Kuat Drive Yards. Like its companions, the Maw Shipyards was located in a ring of facilities that orbited the planet Kuat. (CCW)

Maw, The
this collection of black holes was located near the planet Kessel. Its existence was one of the galaxy's strangest mysteries, since it seemed improbable that a group of black holes could exist in such close proximity. The greatest minds in the galaxy argued about its conception, with some beings claiming it a freak of nature, and others claiming that it was a gateway device created by some lost, ancient civilization. Because of the intense gravity in the area, the Maw was slowly drawing the entire Kessel system into the black holes. It was later discovered that the Maw had, in fact, been built by an ancient race. This race was known as the Celestials by the Colony, but the exact reasons for the construction of the Maw were never learned. Other histories pointed to the possibility that the Killiks created the Maw. (JS, COTF, PH, DN1)

Mawan
this planet was torn apart by a civil war, known to the natives as the Great Purge, some three years before the Battle of Naboo. The capital city was utterly destroyed, and the government it housed was smashed. The survivors fled into the country, but without a central form of government the planet descended into lawlessness. It became a haven for criminals, and the Galactic Senate ignored the plight of the planet in the face of the rising opposition of the Separatists. When attention could be diverted from its other duties, the Senate finally asked the Jedi Knights to send a team to Mawan to help bring the criminal elements under control and form a central government.

this youth, a native of the planet Melida/Daan, was the leader of the Scavenger Young. He was instrumental in digging a tunnel to the spaceport in Zehava, during the struggle between The Young and their elders of the Daan and Melida. He later became one of Nield's chief lieutenants, although it was later revealed that it was Mawat, acting in an effort to cause a confrontation, who supplied arms to both The Young and the elders of the Daan and Melida shortly before Cerasi's death. Mawat wanted to rule Zehava for himself, and believed Nield was weakening under the stress of leadership. Mawat went so far as to place snipers in the buildings surrounding the Hall of Evidence on Glory Street, where Wehutti and Nield confronted each other, in case either backed down. It was one of Mawat's snipers who killed Cerasi and started the firefight. Mawat tried to rally his forces and defeat Nield, but Qiu-Gon Jinn displayed a hologram of Cerasi, recorded shortly before her death, in which she pleaded for peace. Mawat, who had secretly loved Cerasi, threw down his arms and surrendered. (UP)
