Mordon
the Imperial Admiral overseeing the invasion of the Taroon System on the flagship Vengeance. Following the successful mission to Taroon, Mordon was shuttling up from the surface of Farboon when a group of Alliance starfighters intercepted the shuttle. A distress signal was sent out, but the only person who heard it was Maarek Stele, who was flying a newly-repaired TIE Interceptor. Stele did his best to drive off the Alliance ships, not realizing that he was rescuing his Admiral. Upon returning the the Vengeance, Mordon met with Stele and suggested that he join the Imperial Navy as a pilot. (TIE)

Mordran
this vicious warrior served Borvo the Hutt as a champion gladiator, during the height of the New Order. Borvo often dispatched Mordran to deal with those merchants and traders, especially those of the Gungan race, who refused to pay their protection money to the Hutt. (SWGAL)

Mordur
this Imperial Admiral was in charge of the seige of Vandelhelm, and controlled the planet from a command barge that stayed in orbit around the planet. He did this to avoid the notice of the New Republic, but it required a heavy bribe to be paid to Orrk in order to maintain its secrecy. He tried to steal the metals promised to the New Republic by Orrk, but was defeated in a space battle with Han Solo and Nien Nunb. (VM, EGC, MC98)

Moren Chonk
an overweight Quarren, whose officious and pompous attitude hides his incompetence. He was most successful running Morjanssik's sanitation bureau, and relied heavily on Kelmut Wolg to help him run Morjanssik as its Chief Manager. He was murdered by the Imperial agents under Generet, in an effort to frame the Alliance and turn the Quarren solidly in favor of the Empire. (DU)

this Skrilling was living on Ord Mantell during the years following the Battle of Naboo. He was a friend of Quinlan Vos, and served as a ready source of information for the Jedi. Morgot was a notoriously bad gambler, and often got into trouble trying to cover his debts. (ROP)

Morgotou
this Rodian was a confederate of Marg Sonat and Pari' Notgoth until Sonat had him executed to keep the Rodian from revealing information on their plans. Morgotou was working for the Kessel Spice Corporation, and had been invited to the Stellar Mermaid by Sard Nightbringer, to take part in the auction of the Imperial prototype armor and shields she had stolen from station T-1583. Sonat feared that Morgotou would reveal the Ithorian's plans for taking control fo Nightbringer's organization, and had Notgoth execute him. His body was later discovered by the very smugglers who were transporting the prototype for Nightbringer. One of the smugglers posed as Morgotou, but the ruse was discovered by Natja the Hutt and the smugglers were arrested. (POC)

Morgukai Warriors
this ancient order of Kajain'sa'Nikto warriors was nearly extinct by the time of the Battle of Geonosis, and very little was known of them at the time. The Morgukai existed in the farthest reaches of the Endless Wastes, and experts in survival and battle. The members of the Morgukai were always male Nikto, and fathers often trained their sons in a style that resembled the Master-Padawan relationship of the Jedi Knights. The Morgukai cared little for the aspects of good and evil, but relied on their own code of honor to guide their actions. During the era of the Clone Wars, it was believed that there but a handful of surviving Morgukai, led by Tsyr and Bok. Unknown to the Old Republic, Bok had been cloned by Separatist forces on Saleucami, as part of Count Dooku's program to create the so-called Shadow Army. Although many clones of Bok were produced, most were killed during the siege of Saleucami. By the time Chancellor Palpatine had installed himself as Emperor, any surviving Morgukai were outlawed as religious fantics. (ROP, WOTC, RSOS)

Morichro
this was one of the most dangerous Force techniques known to the Jedi Masters of the Old Republic. It was an art forbidden to all but a handful of Masters, and was used to rapidly slow the body functions of other beings, resulting in a quick death. It was a controlled art, as its usage bordered on the Dark Side of the Force. It could also be used by a being on themselves, creating a form of suspended animation that was more effective that a Force-induced trance. This use of Morichro allowed the user to survive without food, water, and even air for a up to a month, with a pre-defined duration or stimulus for awakening. (SWDB, GMR5, WOTC)

Moridebo District
this was one of the many low-income sectors of the cityscape which covered the planet Metellos. It was distinguished from other urban areas by its distinct subculture, which included a specialized dialect and cuisine. (CCW)

Mor'ik Gang
this gang occupied part of the Karoom waterfront, located in city of Nime, on the planet Roon, during the height of the New Order. Their rivals, the Pel Gang, controlled the other part of the Karoom waterfront. (GORW)

Morish
this was the native language of the Morish race. (SOP)

Morish
this short, furry race of beings was native to the planet Morishim. (SOP)

Morishim
this planet was the site of a New Republic starfighter base about fifteen years after the Battle of Endor. The planet was located close to the borders of Imperial space, which was greatly reduced at the time. It was here that Imperial Admiral Pellaeon had hoped to meet with Garm Bel Iblis to begin the negotiation of a peace treaty between the remnants of the Empire and the Republic. Pellaeon's invitation never got to Bel Iblis, having been intercepted by Moff Disra's agents, and Pellaeon himself was attacked near the planet by some of Disra's ships. The ships had been camouflaged to resemble Corellian Defense Force ships, but Pellaeon recognized them for what they were. (SOP)

Morjakar
this rogue planetoid occupied the second orbit of the Cularin System, but was believed to have been born in a solar system across the galaxy. Morjakar's orbit was some fifty degree tilted to the planetary plane defined by the system, and its path was cigar-shaped, extending well above the plane while remaining within the orbits of Acilaris and Cularin. Scientists theorized that Morjakar was the outermost terrestrial planet in a solar sytem whose planet expanded into a red giant, destroying the inner planets and flinging Morjakar out of orbit. It wandered the galaxy for many millennia before being caught in the gravity of the binary stars Morasil and Termandus. (LFC)

Morjanssik
one of the many Calamari floating cities, Morjanssik was a mining town built by the Quarren to supply the nearby mining facilities. It was one of the few cities designed, built, and populated almost entirely by Quarren; they wanted to see if they could survive without their Mon Calamari brothers. It was located in the southern hemisphere of Calamari, and was populated by nearly 75,000 Quarren and a few hundred Mon Cals. (DU)

Morla Maalet
this overly tall, weathered, Sullustan male was a small-time smuggler before he met up with Qual'om Soach. Soach hadn't created his empire yet, but Morla decided to go to work for him just the same. Over time, Morla was promoted into a position to be Soach's personal pilot and confidante, commanding the Invisible Star. (FBS)

Morley
this Imperial recruit was part of Kyle Katarn's squadron, during the taking of asteroid AX-456. He held the rank of Sergeant in Kyle's squad, reporting to Sergeant Major Hong, and was the team's demolitions expert. Because he was often the first man through a newly-opened door in training, Morley was first to enter the Alliance base on AX-456, and was shot in the head by an Alliance soldier. (SFE)

Morn
this was one of the more common names given to males of the Mon Calamari race. To the Mon Calamari, this name meant "male ruler" or "king". (GCG)

Morn
this Mon Calamari served as one of Black Sun's vigos during the years leading up to the Battle of Naboo, serving under Alexi Garyn during his tenure. Morn worked from a base on his homeworld of Calamari, until he was targeted for execution by Darth Maul about a year before Naboo was blockaded by the Trade Federation. Maul had been working to eliminate any shred of evidence linking his own master, Darth Sidious, to Hath Monchar, and had already executed the Dug vigo Darnada. Maul attacked Morn's base in order to learn the whereabouts of Asa Naga and Garyn, destroying the facility and executing Morn in order to maintain secrecy. (DM)

Morne-3
this Arakyd concussion missile launcher was a common armament of tramp freighters whose captains could afford it. The 10-missile system was easy to fire and caused a great deal of damage. (GG6)

Morning Glory Circle
this was one of the many side-streets found on Coruscant, during the final years of the Old Republic. (T24)

Morning Star
an iron weapon used by the Whiphids on Toola. (CPL)

Morning's Bell
a world in the Koornacht Cluster inhabited by Kubaz. It was known to the New Republic as Doornik-319. It was razed by the Yevetha during the Great Purge. Its significance to the Yevetha was not lost on the New Republic, which attempted to blockade the planet in an effort to halt the Yevethan progress across the Cluster. The Fifth Battle Group was rallied and sent to the planet, and the blockade began well enough. However, the Republic's ships were bombarded with pleas from prisoners of the Yevetha, begging the Republic not to fire on Yevethan ships because they were transporting prisoners. Most of the K-Wing bomber pilots on the front line hesitated, and the Yevethan attacked. They successfully repelled the Republic, staking their claim to the planet. (BTS, SOL)

Morningstar
this was one of the many starships that were noted as participating in the Battle of Geonosis. (JSF)

Morningstar-class Fighter
this three-winged starfighter design was popular among pirates and shipjackers during the last decades of the Old Republic. The upper wing stood straight up from the fuselage, while the other two wings spread out from the bottom. Three sublight engines were situated in between the wings, providing speed and maneuverability. (STF)

Moro III
this planet was the site of a starship repair facility, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (DN2)

this male Genian worked as the head of business outreach for Fry Industries on his homeworld of Genian, during the height of the Clone Wars. (SOJ)

Morobe
this red-yellow binary star is the primary sun in the Morobe System, which includes Talasea. (XWN)

Morodin
a sentient race of creatures found in the jungles near Tropis-on-Varont, they were intelligent, fifteen-meter-long lizard-slugs that excreted a nutrient-rich slime when they travel. Each Morodin had six short legs to support their bodies, and a pair of arms for holding things. They were not native to Varont, but instead traveled to the planet in organic starships of their own creation nearly 1,000 years before the Old Republic was formed. After their homeworld suffered an ecological disaster, the colony on Varont was left to fend for themselves. When humans first settled Varont, the Morodin were hunted by the colonists, who thought that the slime trails left in their vegetable and grain fields were detrimental. However, after seeing the results of the slime's intense nutrients, the colonists began to allow the Morodin to move through their fields. The creatures created huge, maze-like patterns as they move through the forests, which they use to confuse their prey as well as their attackers. When the Krish Gamgalon discovered the beneficial effects of their slime on Yagaran Aleudrupe plants, he began "hunting" them in order to herd them into his aleudrope beds. He paid off the local Imperial Moff for the rights to "hunt" sentient beings. (SWJ1, EGC, AE)

Morodin
this was the spoken language of the Morodin race. It was believed that there was no written form of the language, as the Morodins lacked manipulative hands. (WOA33)

Morol
this man was the repair expert working at Just Armor on StarForge Station. Morol personally made sure every piece of armor sold was fitted perfectly to its new owner. (FOP)

Morp
this predatory amphibian was native to the planet Dagobah, and was believed to be related to the nharpira. A terrestrial creature, the morp anchored itself into boles and wormholes and attacked its prey as it wandered by. The morp had a highly poisonous venom which it injected when it bit its prey. This venom paralyed the prey, allowing the morp to extract itself from its hole and consume the prey. (WSW)

Morp Droid
the design of these repulsor-equipped droids was attributed to Asajj Ventress, the Dark Jedi who was one of Count Dooku's chief lieutenants during the Clone Wars. Each morp droid resembled a floating, six-legged beetle, and delivered a powerful electric discharge when they touched living flesh. The discharge was powerful enough to electrocute a human being. Because of the incredible power used by morp droids, they seemed to glow with an electric blue aura as they sought out their targets. (RDR)

Morph
this Polydroxol served as Bruce Mercy's bodyguard and enforcer. He flew pirate missions with Mercy on the Starburst, along with Durquist. (TSK)

Morr
this female Defel got started as a bounty hunter by bringing in a trader who had broken his word to several other Defel. She found that her natural skills as a hunter were more than adequate to make a living in the wider galaxy. (GG10)

Morr III
one of Zothip's base planets. (DFRSB)

Morril
an alien creature native to the planet Trinta, morrils resemble small chipmunks. They are omnivorous, subsisting on plants unless they can find carrion to feed on. (DOE)

Morro
this elderly man worked as a farmer on the planet Ceriun, some 1,000 years before the Battle of Endor. He was also considered the leader of his tribe at the time. When Ka'arn found a Jedi holocron in the downed ship of a Jedi Knight, Morro decided to hold onto the holocron until another Jedi could come to Ceriun to recover it. This proved to be a fatal mistake for many members of the tribe, when the Sith arrived and killed the young boys who had helped Tenno try and recover it. (T17)

Morrs
this New Republic Lieutenant was placed in charge of the investigation into Kyp Durron's stealing of the Sun Crusher weapon from its resting place at the heart of Yavin. His survey results were largely insubstantial, because the sheer force of the storms at the planet's heart wouldn't allow his sensor teams to gather useful data. (IJ)

Morrt
furry, gray, mouse-sized parasites from the planet Gamorr, they feed on the blood of a living host. Note that the Star Wars Adventure Journal #10 indicates that the morrts are slug-like creatures. The Gamorreans have domesticated them and consider them to be pets, and they have adopted a social ideal which states that the more morrts a Gamorrean has attached to its body, the more status they have. The highest ranking matrons and warlords have twenty or more morrts attached to their bodies. Morrts found in the wild can be quite aggressive when they attach themselves to a host, and an entire swarm could bleed a full-grown Gamorrean dry in no time at all. (SWSB, SWJ10)

Morrt-class Droid
developed by Warlord Zsinj and Apwar Trigit shortly after the Battle of Thyferra, these small, parasite droids were distributed throughout the galaxy. They were designed to intercept signals from virtually any source and relay information about the source to their operators. The basic Morrt droid resembled a rectangular box, and could attach itself to virtually any surface. The project was initially successful, allowing Trigit to feed false information to the New Republic and allowed him to destroy Talon Squadron. The second hit came from Folor, but Trigit attacked the false beacons placed on the moon instead. When Gara Petothel discovered that the Morrts dispatched to Talasea where attaching themselves to ships which constantly moved in and out of the Morobe System, Apwar Trigit discovered that the intelligence of the Morrts was too limited to be useful. He canceled further development and abandoned the Morrts. (WS)

Mors
this surname was common among human settlements found throughout in the galaxy. (GCG)

Mors, Opeli
this woman was one of the primary representatives of the Jin'ri Trade Syndicate during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. She supported the creation of Luke Skywalker's Great River, only because it would allow the Syndicate to make more of a profit by selling supplies to worlds along the pathway. (EVR)

Morsai, Rollo
this woman, whose stage name was Jona Reeten, had her acting career cut short when Babel Torsh took control of the Minos Cluster. Since that time, she has made a living plying the spacelanes in her converted Baudo-class yacht, the Gilded Lily, a ship which has been modified over time. Over time, she lost much of her exuberance and drive, and so much of the work aboard the ship gets done by her assistant, Tiebo. (GG6)

Morseer
this planet, the homeworld of the Morseerian race, was shrouded with a methane-based atmosphere. The Morseerians kept the planet's location a secret for more than twelve thousand years, and only members of the Morseerian race knew of its existence. (TBSB, UANT)

Morseerian
a four-armed race of methane-breathing humanoids, Morseerians were native to the planet Morseer. They were easily recognizable by their large, cone-shaped heads and the breathmasks they wore whenever they are in an atmosphere that lacks sufficient methane. The Morseerians were a client species to the Drackmarians, and every Morseerian was "owned" or under contract to a Drackmarian master. Beneath their protective suits, Morseerians had transparent skin and large, black eyes. They kept the location of their homeworld a heavily-guarded secret, protecting its independence with their lives if necessary. As a people, the Morseerians were secretive and quiet. Although generally peaceful in nature, Morseerians often rected swiftly to any threat they encountered, whether real or perceived. (CCG, SSR, TBSB, ANT, UANT)

Morseerian
this was the name given to the native language of the Morseerians. (ANT)

Morshdine Sector
when Luke Skywalker infiltrated the Cavrilhu Pirates' base in the Kauron System, he managed to discover that Wesselman had traveled to this area of the galaxy to pick up a load of unregistered Tibanna gas. (SOP)

Morst Tayl'skar
this Bothan was transported to Dressel by Pyrron Nox. An Alliance agent, Tayl'skar was attempting to contact Orrimaarko. (GG12)

Mortar Gun
any weapon which can launch mortars. They are often small enough for handheld use, but can be built to fire large mortars from a stationary base. (DF)

Mortav
this was the innermost of the four moons which orbited the planet Mutanda. (PG1)

Morteos
this man was a native of the planet Nar Bo Sholla. He was known as one of the best freelance assassins, specializing in the assassination of corporate officials. He is known to have killed one of SoroSuub's top executives, although who hired Morteos remains a mystery. Morteos was also responsible for the death of Crix Masst on Sinded, and was nearly captured when New Republic pilots shot at his modified freighter. Despite taking damage, Morteos outran the Y-Wings and disappeared. He was known to wear black battle armor to hide his true identity, and usually executes his target from a remote location, using bombs, poisons, and other subtle means. (WBC)

Mortex Sector
the Alliance gained a foothold in this area of the galaxy shortly after the Battle of Yavin. (BI)

Morthul
this Dark Jedi was known for his cruelty to non-human races. He was eventually defeated by a group of young Jedi shortly after the Battle of Endor. (GMS)

Morti
this large-nosed, green-skinned alien worked as a talent agent during the height of the Galactic Civil War. He booked one of his clients, known simply as Shirley, to perform at the delegation on Kabray station, just prior to the Battle of Endor. (MC77)

Mortunk, Rabby
this man served as the ship's engineer aboard the pirate vessel Free Lance. (PP)

Moruth Doole
a Rybet, leader of the spice-smuggling operation on Kessel. He has one mechanical eye to replace one lost in a struggle with some of Jabba's hitmen. He bribed and murdered his way to the top of Kessel's operations, and was the primary source of bootleg spice during the Imperial occupation of Kessel. When Han Solo had to dump a load of spice which Jabba the Hutt had already paid for, Jabba placed a death mark on Doole's head. One of Jabba's men almost got to Doole, but succeeded only in blinded one of his eyes and damaging the other. This occurred around the time of Jabba's death and the death of Emperor Palpatine at Endor. Doole, always the opportunist, sought to free himself from Imperial and get back at Jabba by killing off the prison warden (a man whom Jabba had already bought) and overthrowing the Imperials. He keeps captive female Rybets for his pleasure, and uses the offspring he sires on them as slaves in the spice mines. This eventually led to his demise, however, for when Han Solo and Lando Calrissian returned to Kessel to take over the spice mines following the defeat of Doole's Navy at the hands of Admiral Daala, he tries to escape them, only to be turned on by his various wives and children. He flees into the mines, where he is attacked and killed an energy spider. (TLC, JS, COTF)

Morvak
this unusual creature was able to derive sustenance from rocks and stones. They required neither gravity nor atmosphere for their survival, which allowed them to live in asteroid belts, which provided abundant sources of food. Resembling large crustaceans, the average morvak was more than a meter across, and was covered with a heavy exoskeleton. Two pairs of legs allowed it to move, while a pair of clawed limbs allowed it to dig through rubble. A grouping of tentacles hung from their mouths, and exuded a poweful acid which the morvak used to break down rock and stone into digestible forms. These tentacles could also give the morvak an indication of what kind of rock it was burrowing in. When deprived of sustenance, morvaks can go into a form of suspended animation, surviving for years until discovering a new source of food. Despite their fearsome appearance, morvaks are social creatures which traveled in packs, working together to repel attackers and locate new sources of minerals. (PG1)

Morvogodine
a planet, located in the Calaron Sector, that was occupied by the Empire during the Galactic Civil War. (TME, REB)

Morv'vyal
this Bothan was an investigator with the Drev'starn Department of Criminal Discouragement. He accompanied Proy'skyn to the Exocticalia Pet Emporium, on a tip that the store had been burglarized. When a fire broke out in the shop, the Bothans realized that it was related to the wiring. This led them to discover the hidden cache of weapons kept by Navett and Klif, which forced the humans to kill the Bothan investigators in order to carry out their plans. (VOF)

Morymento
this was the largest of the colonies found on Kerilt. Like most of settlements on Kerilt, it lacked self-sufficiency, and was a target for pirates. Morymento was also the home of one of the larger Caamasi Remnant communities. (IJ)

Morz
this common Zabrak surname meant "trader". (GCG)

Mos
this ball of searing rock was the first planet in the Dostra System. (AIR)

Mos Eisley
one of the primary cities of the modern era on Tatooine, Mos Eisley was also home to one of Tatooine's primary spaceports. Founded about 85 years before the Battle of Yavin, Mos Eisley grew outward from the crash site of the Dowager Queen, as spacefaring companies and individuals realized Tatooine's proximity to existing spacelanes was advantageous. As the popularity of podracing waned, the unofficial capital city of Tatooine was moved from Mos Espa to Mos Eisley. In just a few decades, Mos Eisley's population tripled as businesses took root to offer services to starships and tarvelers who were passing through the system. Some 362 docking bays were built within its boundaries. During much of the Galactic Civil War, Jabba the Hutt used Mos Eisley as a base of operations. The female Whiphid Valarian also used Mos Eisley as a base, keeping Jabba at arm's length. The city was divided into two main sections, the Old Quarter surrounding the wreckage of the Dowager Queen, and the more tourist-friendly areas known as the New Quarter. Ben Kenobi once described Mos Eisley as "...a...wretched hive of scum and villiany". Following the death of Jabba, the city was thrown into a raging chaos. Much of the city was burned and/or looted, and for a time Tatooine was isolated from the major shipping lanes because the spaceport was inaccessible. (SW, GG7, TME, RSG, SWDB, RESB, SOT, IWST)

Mos Eisley Cantina
this was the primary watering hole located in the spaceport city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. Although it was most commonly known as the Mos Eisley Cantina, it was actually named Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina. During this time, it was owned and operated by the Wookiee Chalmun. It was rumored that Jabba the Hutt once threatened to shoot one arriving starship a day from the skies over the spaceport until the doors of the cantina were enlarged enough for him to fit through. It was Chalmun who installed a droid detector in the doorway, despite Wuher's obvious distrust of droids. The mixing computer of the cantina's ancient bar was capable of synthesizing more than 16,000 different drinks, although Chalmun refused to stock all the necessary ingredients. A sign over the arched doorway offered the warning "Watch Your Head(s)" in the Basic language. Before Chalmun assumed control of the cantina, it was the property of the Vriichon Brothers, who ran an illegal spice den on the premises. (SW, SWJ3, SWDB, IWST)

Mos Eisley Inn
a marginal motel located in the spaceport city, on the planet Tatooine. (TME)

Mos Eisley Merchant's Association
the Chadra-Fan pickpocket Kabe claimed to be a representative of this organization, during her years spent on Tatooine. Dressed up like a Jawa, she approached incoming starship captains and explained to them that they had to buy a "trade license" from her for 500 credits in order to do business on the planet. This façade infuriated the Jawas, since the Merchant's Association was a scam, and the license that captains really needed cost just 200 credits. (SOT)

Mos Eisley Mourners
this was the name given to four DX-series assassin droids owned by Jabba the Hutt. The four droids were purchased and programmed to act in the event of Jabba's death. The droids were programmed to request a specific password each week from Jabba himself. If the password was correct, they would deactivate themselves for another week. If, at the end of each week, the droids did not receive the password, their onboard systems fired up and the droids set out to eliminate their targets. Jabba figured that his death would most likely come from a competitor or underling, and he was determined to keep their greedy hands off his fortunes. Each droid was given specific targets - Lady Valarian, Jun Seros, and Bib Fortuna were all in the target database - and, when activated, set out through the streets of Mos Eisley. As they searched for their targets, the droid would mutter woeful cries and mourn the death of the mighty Jabba, while efficiently hunting down their targets. When Jabba died just prior to the Battle of Endor, it was never learned if the ancient droids actually woke up to make their attacks. (RESB)

Mos Eisley Spaceport
a run-down spaceport by most standards, the Mos Eisley Spaceport was originally established as an alternative to the Anchorhead port. A group of Rodian refugees helped build the Spaceport, which grew as word spread that it was much less expensive than Anchorhead. Over time, the Spaceport expanded in concentrical circles of packed-sand landing pits. It also has its own cantina. The layout of the spaceport was overseen by the Hutts who established bases of operation on Tatooine, and had to conform to a simple rule: "Visitors must have easy access to the city, where they can spend their money. They must also have easy access to the spaceports, so that they can go back to their ships and fetch the rest." For this reason, most docking bays in Mos Eisley were protected by a passcode that was given free-of-charge to incoming starship captains. (SW, ZHR, SWDB, SOT)

Mos Eisley Special
a nickname for the DL-18 blaster, it referred to the fact that they were readily available on the desert world. (CCG7)

Mos Eisley Towers
a hotel located in Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, the name is deceiving because the entire building - except for the lobby and restaurant - was buried under the desert sands. (TJP)

Mos Entha
see Mos Ethna (GQRG)

Mos Espa
one of the larger townships found on the planet Tatooine, Mos Espa was originally founded some 80 years before the Battle of Yavin by a group of Rodian refugees. Soon, the Hutts moved in, and by the era of the Battle of Naboo it was controlled by Jabba the Hutt. It was a sprawling city built on gambling money, originally settled by a large contingent of Rodians but quickly controlled by the Hutts. Each year, its surrounding desert was the site of the annual Boonta Eve Classic podrace. The city also was home to a large contingent of slaves, owned by the merchants and the Hutts. (CCG9, SW1, TPM, OWS)

Mos Espa Circuit
this was the name of the podracing course established by Jabba the Hutt, just outside the spaceport city of Mos Espa. Beginning in the confines of the Mos Espa Arena, the course started out across the Starlite Flats, then wound through Waldo Flats before opening into Mushroom Mesa and Ebe Crater Valley. From there, racers had to negotiate Beggar's Canyon before getting a brief respite while crossing a desert plain bordering on the Dune Sea. Then, racers were forced to navigate through Arch Canyon before weaving through The Whip, Jag Crag Gorge, and the Lagula Caves. After emerging from the Caves, racers moved through the Canyon Dune Turn before hitting the Bindy Bend. At the far end of the Bend, the course narrowed sharply as it passed through The Coil, Jett's Chute, and The Corkscrew. Once through this set of challenges, racers pushed their machines to the limit in an all-out speed race to return to Mos Espa Arena across Hutt Flats. (IWE1)

Mos Espa Circuit
this was the most noted swoop racing course on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Much of the course was based on Jabba the Hutt's old podracing course, which was also known as the Mos Espa Circuit. (SWGAL)

Mos Espa Galactic Food Emporium
this large grocery store was located down the street from Watto's junkyard, in the city of Mos Espa on Tatooine, during the last years of the Old Republic. (E1A8)

Mos Espa Grand Arena
this huge arena was built by Jabba the Hutt with a great deal of governmental help. Jabba obtained the necessary permits, licenses, and funding by claiming the huge arena would bring business to Mos Espa, and he was true to his prediction. Each year, the Arena hosted the Boonta Eve Classic podrace, which attracted more than 100,000 spectators from across the Outer Rim. Other podraces were also run there, on the amateur circuits. (SW1, RAC, SWDB)

Mos Espa Swoop Arena
in the years which followed the decline of podracing's popularity and the ravages of the Clone Wars, the former Mos Espa Grand Arena on Tatooine was more or less abandoned by the Desilijic Hutts. It was eventually taken over by a small band of swoop racers, who used it to stage a regular series of semi-legitimate races during the early years of the New Republic. (TG)
