Malo, Lanah
this Corellian woman was one of the leaders of the protest group Bria Tharen joined after she left Han Solo on Coruscant. Lanah helped Bria during her period of withdrawal from the Exultations, and worked hard to bring down the Hutts and t'landa Til that were running the spice and slave colonies on Ylesia. She referred to their leader as the Commander, suggesting that Garm Bel Iblis was in charge of their group. (THG)

Malorm Family
this mafia-like group of five family members controlled a large criminal empire during the last decades of the Old Republic. They were known as a group of psychopathic killers, a reputation they earned after hijacking the luxury liner Galaxy Wanderer as it passed through the Corporate Sector. They dropped a number of the ship's passengers into deep space without any protection, stole everything of value from the ship's coffers, and escaped to the planet Matra VI, where they were eventually apprehended by Gallandro. Gallandro claimed a head bounty on the family, all at the same time, after they tried to kill Odumin. (HSL, CSA)

Malorm, Jez

Malorum
this man was one of the first Inquisitors created by Emperor Palpatine during the early months of the New Order. Malorum was sent to the planet Bellassa to quell the population and subjugate the planet, as an example of what could happen to those planets that openly opposed the Empire. When it was learned that Ferus Olin and Roan Lands were behind many of the public demonstrations, Malorum set out to have them arrested and interrogated. He hired the bounty hunters D'harhan and Bobe Fett as a way to ensure their capture. However, only Roan was captured, and he resisted all attempts to wring information from him. His rescue by Amie Antin and Obi-Wan Kenobi prompted Inquisitor Malorum to issue Order 37 to his forces, allowing for the capture of hundreds of seditious citizens. Under a public decree made by Malorum, those captured would be executed unless Ferus turned himself in. However, when the time came to order the executions, Malorum found himself unable to act. The entire population of Ussa had been alerted to the executions by the efforts fo the Eleven, and Malorum was forced to hold off on the killings or risk a full-scale riot. This allowed Obi-Wan and Ferus to free the captives and escape before Malorum could put any other plans into motion. The two former Jedi then discovered that Malorum had been gathering information of all kinds for Darth Vader himself, including data on Polis Massa. The Jedi were able to obtain the information before it could be transmitted, helping to keep the remote asteroid base a secret. (LJ1)

Malreaux
this family was once a powerful entity on the planet Vjun, working other royal families to govern the planet. The patriarchal family, whose livery was colored by cream and crimson, was ruled by a Viscount for many generations, until sometime just before the Clone Wars. It was believed that the original Viscount Malreaux was a pirate who patrolled the Bay of Tears. He grew to power, according to family legend, by extorting the locals with occasionally-broken promises to stop raiding passing ships. When a planet-wide plague caused much of the planet's population to go mad and die some eight years before the Battle of Geonosis, the seventeenth Viscount succumbed to the plague and went mad. He believed he was being poisoned, instead of having contracted the plague, and killed off his entire household staff to prevent further poisoning. His mental state continued to deteriorate, and he took to slinking through the halls of the Chateau Malreaux, only emerging at night. The last time anyone saw him alive was in the kitchen, when a security camera captured an emaciated Viscount stealing a drink of water. His body was found several days later, after the smell became unbearable. He was survived by his wife, Whirry, and a son named Whie, who was taken to Coruscant for training as a Jedi Knight. When Whie returned to Vjun with Jedi Master Yoda, Fidelis revealed that Whie's father had done some unique and intense experimentation with midi-chlorian bodies. It was believed that the Viscount was using his genetic manipulation techniques to instill his family with heightened Force sensitivities. He was part of a consortium of elitist nobles who wanted to be more powerful than their peers, not to mention the offworlders who visited their planet. It wasn't until a decade later that their experiments were the cause of the planet-wide madness that decimated the population of Vjun. (YDR)

Malreaux Rose
this was one of the few flowering planets that grew on the planet Vjun. It was cultivated by the Malreaux family, because its colors duplicated the livery of the Malreauxs. The Malreaux rose had white petals that were tipped with crimson. (YDR)

Malreaux, Whie
this young man was the heir to the Malreaux family holdings on the planet Vjun, during the last decades of the Old Republic. He was discovered to have a strong connection to the Force, and was taken from him mother when he was a young infant. His father had just gone mad, and was killing the household staff because he believed they were poisoning him. Whirry was deathly afraid for Whie's life as the Viscount raged through the house. She pleaded with the Jedi to take her son, believing that Whie would be going to a better place than Vjun, but his absence only drove her insane. Whie, meanwhile, grew stronger in the Force, and eventually chose by Jedi Master Maks Leem as a Padawan. Whie was one of the small number of students who were exceptionally gifted in the Force, but took special care not to abuse his powers. What troubled Whie the most were the semi-prescient dreams he had at night, many of which soon came to pass as actual events. Some of these dreams were visions of his homeworld of Vjun, which he barely recognized. These dreams left him mentally and physically drained, and were a cause of concern for Master Leem as well, especially when he dreamed of events surrounding his own death. Whiel studying at the Temple, Whie participated in the Apprentice Tournament, and found himself fighting against Tallisibeth Enwandung-Esterhazy - otherwise known as Scout - in the final round. She surprised him by fighting through the pain of an intense thumb-hold to coil her arm and use her leverage to throw him to the ground. With the wind knocked out of him, Whie was forced to yield, much to the surprise of those attending. The tournament made them friends, but their abilities were tested shortly afterward, when both were assigned - along with their Masters - to accompany Yoda to Vjun. It was the knowlegde of this mission that put his latest dreams into perspective, as Whie realized that he was dreaming about Scout, covered in blood, at the hands of Asajj Ventress. While en route to Vjun, Whie was intercepted by the droid Fidelis, who revealed himself as a part of the Malreaux house. It was Fidelis who revealed much about Whie's past and his family, including the fact that Whie once had a brother. Whie was badly shaken when Maks Leem was killed by Ventress on Phindar, and resented the fact that Yoda tried to take his mind off her death by asking him to repair a ship and eat something. When they finally reached Vjun, Whie found it difficult to ignore the call of the Force, but he was blind to the fact that it was the Dark Side that was calling to him. Scout struggled to keep him focused, but her efforts were undermined when Fidelis - acting on orders from Whirry Malreaux - arranged for the Padawans to be trapped in the Crying Room with Ventress. The Padawans were spared when Solis distracted Ventress, and were later rescued by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who had tracked Yoda to Vjun. Upon returning to Coruscant, Whie chose to sever his ties to Vjun and the Malreaux family, but was unsure about his future with the Jedi. He continued to train at the Jedi Temple, but was among the hundreds of students who were murdered by Anakin Skywalker, who had become the apprentice of Darth Sidious and was dispatched to cleanse the Jedi Temple of all living Jedi. (YDR, OWS, E3N)

Malreaux, Whirry
this woman was the wife of the seventeenth (and final) Viscount Malreaux, and was the mother of Whie. Living on Vjun was hard on Whirry, and the fear of death during Vjun's plague of madness only added grief and heartache to her problems. Whirry herself was infected with the plague, and began to slowly lose her mind. Whie was discovered by a Jedi Master who felt his connection to the Force, just before his father went insane and began killing off the kitchen staff, whom he believed had poisoned him. Whirry feared for Whie's life and begged for him be taken to Coruscant, hoping that he would be able to grow up in a better place than Vjun. However, her already disconsolate mental state was badly shaken by Whie's absence, and Whirry went slowly insane. Her one sane action was to order the family droid, Fidelis, to follow Whie to Coruscant and keep an eye out for his safety. Years later, when Chateau Malreaux was usurped by Count Dooku during the height of the Clone Wars, Whirry was powerless to stop him. Dooku allowed her to live in the Chateau, serving as his maid while continually reminding her of her losses. Her only companion during this time was a Vjun fox named Miss Vix, a creature that vexed Dooku immensely. Dooku found himself entertained by Whirry's strange "talent" for telling a being's future by looking at the remains of an object they had broken by accident. The entertainment value dropped sharply when, just before Jedi Master Yoda arrived on Vjun, Dooku dropped a glass of wine to the floor. While cleaning up the broken glass, Whirry read the shards and told Dooku that he was shortly going to be in deep trouble. Later, when Dooku realized that Whie was on Vjun with Master Yoda, he demanded that Whirry order her personal droid Fidelis to arrange for Whie to meet with Asajj Ventress. Dooku held Miss Vix as his "hostage" in order to compel Whirry to obey, and then was forced to take Whirry hostage when Yoda appeared. In order to exact an escape, Dooku used the Force to fling Whirry out of a window, forcing Yoda to choose between pursuing Dooku and saving Whirry. Yoda chose to let Dooku escape, using the Force to catch Whirry before she could fall to her death. When she was finally reunited with Whie, Whirry found that she didn't recognize her son anymore, and her maddened mind believed that Whie was dead, rather than the young man she was seeing. (YDR)

Malrev
this planet, the fourth in the Malrev System, was the site where the Starfaring was lost after a bug in its navigational software transposed the coordinates it was using. A temperate world covered with dense forest, it was the homeworld of the Irrukiine race. It was also the location of a temple which was built on a nexus of Dark Side energy, a temple which was to be used as an outpost by Emperor Palpatine before he was killed at Endor. The temple later served as the base of power for the mad Devaronian Cartariun, who had been serving as a technician at the site. Cartariun used the Sith magics to control the native Irrukiine and make them fight using the powers of the Dark Side. (XWRR)

Malrev Incident
Rogue Squadron participated in this battle, in which the Dark Side Adept Cartariun tried to take control of the planet Malrev. The magician was foiled by Dllr Nep and Herian I'ngre. (HXW)

Malrev IV
see Malrev (WOTC)

Malshae, Lorcu
this respected smuggler planned to sell the coordinates of Port Haven to Boba Fett, despite the objections of his co-pilot, Par'tha. In the end, though, Par'tha told Hallomar about Lorcu's plans, and a bomb was placed aboard his frieghter, the Moonglow. Just before Lorcu could meet with Fett, the bomb exploded, destroying the Moonglow and killing Lorcu with it. (PSPG)

Malt Ferment
this mildly-alcoholic beverage was popular among the younger generation of moisture farmers on the planet Tatooine, during the height of the New Order. (SWR)

Malta
this Hutt was one of Jabba's most loathsome associates, during the years leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Malta was so immensely obese that his eyes could barely open because of the fat surrounding them. When Malta agreed to a bet with Jabba and Embra to find the Yavin Vassilika, Malta hired Denger, Bossk, and IG-88 to hunt down Illyan Webble and the crystal. Malta's attempt ended in failure, although he tried every cheat in the book to try and win. He even sent Jozzel Moffett out to personally recover the artifact, but Jozzel ended up with a fake. Years later, Malta was believed to have fled Hutt Space for Tatooine, when the Yuuzhan Vong took control of that area of the galaxy. (UYV, WOTC)

Malta's Falcon
this was the name of Malta the Hutt's personal transport ship. (WOTC)

Maltaz
an Imperial General who was at one time in command of the Hell's Hammer unit on Turak IV. There, he allowed his squadron to be cut of from its supply lines by the Alliance soldiers hidden in the Hitak mountains. Then, further compounding his bad decision, he ordered his squadron to stand and fight. The Alliance soldiers quickly reduced the Hammers to three tanks, but the Hammers' never-say-die attitude kept them in the battle long enough for TIE Fighter reinforcements to arrive and bombard the Alliance's landing field. (ISB)

Maltha Obex
this is the Tobek name given to the planet Brath Qella. The Tobek discovered the planet some years after the Old Republic's Third General Survey team found it. The Survey team's follow-up expedition found the planet glaciated, and it was deemed that Brath Qella wasn't worth further effort. The planet seemed to disappear from Republic records, and was forgotten during the reign of Emperor Palpatine. The Tobek took control of the planet, and renamed it Maltha Obex, the name that appeared in the New Republic's database when Kroddok Stopa was dispatched to find Brath Qella. The intense hunt for information about the Qella led to the discovery that the planet originally had two moons. The orbit of one moon decayed, and it collided with the other. The resulting destruction caused both moons to crash into Brath Qella, plunging the world into an ice age. The natives of the planet - known as Qella - fled the world until such time as it recovered from the disaster, when they could return and repopulate it. (SOL, TT)

Malthor
this planet maintained a bustling trading industry, which supported the Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. (CRO)

Malthorn
this man worked with Alexis Cov-Prim, ostensibly as a publicity agent. However, Malthorn was also an efficient bounty hunter whose skills helped finance some of Alexis's dealings. Malthorn was a skilled killer, and was responsible for the untimely deaths of Alexis's many husbands, earning a portion of the credits she received under the wills of the men. During the quest to obtain the Shard of Alderaan computer program, Malthorn hoped to capture Lex Kempo and Gunder Vren, thereby receiving the bountied on their heads. (LAA)

Maltoria
this planet was located in a system of ore-rich asteroid fields. (DN1)

Maltorian Mining Belt
located in orbited near the planet Maltoria, this asteroid belt was one of many that were controlled by the Reconstrucion Authority of the Galactic Alliance, during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. The operations within the belt were protected by the efforts of Zekk and his fellow Jedi Knights, who struggled to keep Three-Eye and his pirates from stealing all the ore. When Zekk left his post to answer UnuThul's call to join him in the Unknown Regions, Three-Eye pressed his advantage in the Maltorian mining belt. This prompted the RePlanetHab corporation to try and buy the pirates out, in the hopes of clearing the way for the delivery of the ore. (DN1)

Maltorran
this was a race of stocky beings which had oddly-joined limbs. (HSL)

Malubi
this malvil-tree, located on the planet Xagobah, had been bound to Xeran's family for thousands of years. (BF5)

Mal'urc
this Bothan was a supporter of the Alliance, and was known to have destroyed an Imperial AT-AT walker using the J8Q Finbat concussion missile. (GUN)

Malvander
native to the planet Solem, this Imperial Governor razed the surface of homeworld shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in an effort to eliminate any possible rebellious activity. The fact that he killed ten civilians for every one rebel was a price he was willing to pay to rid his planet of any pro-Alliance sympathies. Malvander was discovered to have been the brother of Yolan Bren. Both were supposed to rule Solem together, but Yolan Bren broke off the relationship because he feared the Empire. His campaign to take control of Solem cost him a great deal, since the cost of destroying much of the planet's surface cost a huge number of Imperial credits. With the deaths of so many civilians, Malvander suddenly found himself without a population from which to exact taxes to cover his obligations to the Empire. When he was unable to come up with the 50,000 credits he offered to Boba Fett for the capture of Yolan Bren, Fett took some of Malvander's valuable jewelry as payment. Malvander's forces, however, were spread too thin, and were unable to stop a group of Yolan Bren's rebels from storming the palace to resuce their leader. As an insurance policy, they took Malvander with them, hoping to force him to see what he had done to his people. (SWES)

Malvarra, Moris
this Alliance special agent was assigned by Ral'Rai Muvunc to act as an observer aboard the pirate ship Dark Revenge, after the Alliance contracted Dharus to raid Imperial convoys. Malvarra almost immediately requested a transfer, fearing that the pirates were too violent. Muvunc refused to transfer him, despite the fact that ever other observer placed on board the Dark Revenge also requested transfer. (PP)

Malvil-tree
this tree-shaped fungus was native to the planet Xagobah. These immense fungus provided a source of food and shelter for the native Xamsters, and a single family was often bound to a given tree for many generations. In return, the Xamster families protected their malvil-trees with their lives. Like many of the plants and fungus found on Xagobah, the malvil-tree was carnivorous, and used a collection of branch-like tentacles to grasp its prey. The spores of the malvil-tree were known for the way in which they reflected certain wavelengths of light, creating an impenetrable cloud when ejected into the air. The Xamsters discovered this and used the spores while hunting, creating a cloud around their bodies to literally "hide" them from their prey. They also discovered that the malvil-trees usde their spores as a kind of message carrier, using chemicals to "talk" to one another. Wat Tambor tampered with the malvil-tree's genetic makeup, and was able to produce a derivative strain of malvil-tree that produced spores that could be used to cloak a vessel. (BF5)

Malya
this young woman was Rukil's chief apprentice during the era of the Great Sith War. However, she was killed outside the Undercity area of Taris, and her body was unceremoniously dumped in a remote section of the city. A group of Jedi Knights, on Taris after the destruction of the Endar Spire located and returned her body to Rukil. (KOTOR)

Mama
this alien operated Mama's on the planet Ord Mantell. She was a Columi, with a huge head and miniscule body. (SL)

Mama Dhur
this was Den Dhur's affectionate name for his mother. (SWI83)

Mama's
this establishment was the closest thing to a smuggler's guild to be found on the planet Ord Mantell. It was owned by the Columi known simply as "Mama." (SL)

Mambay
this Jawa word translated loosely into Basic as "I hope so." (TG)

Mamendin
this planet was located in the Core Worlds. (JQ8)

Mamien
this mammalian primate was native to the jungles of Yavin 4. (SWGAL)

Mammon Hoole
twenty years before the Battle of Yavin, Mammon Hoole joined the Empire as a scientist. A Shi'ido, Hoole was teamed with Borborygmus Gog in the search for the ability to control life and death. Emperor Palpatine himself approved the funding for a huge base on the planet Kiva, where they nearly discovered a way to create life from nothing. However, Hoole recognized that their experiments would steal all the life from the planet Kiva, leaving it a barren wasteland and wiping out the native Kivans. Gog, however, didn't care for the results of the experiment, as long as it continued. He failed to relay Hoole's message to Palpatine, and provided Hoole with a false response from the Emperor approving further tests. In the end, Kiva was wiped out, and Hoole was blamed by Gog for the failure of the experiment. Hoole fled Imperial service, hiding wherever he could and using his shape-changing ability to elude capture. Many years later, Hoole decided to expose the Project, known as Starscream, and joined the Empire as a Senior Anthropologist assigned to investigating many planets and adding information about them to the Empire's planetary database. He used the Shi'ido's ability to shape-shift as a way to blend in with planetary races, easing his transition into their culture and opening them up to his questions. He once did a report on Tatooine, detailing the lives of the Jawas, Sand People, and even Jabba the Hutt's retinue. When Hoole realized what the Empire stood for, he fled Imperial service and returned to Tatooine seeking Jabba's help. Through the crimelord's various sources, Hoole managed to get all records of his existence erased from the Imperial databanks, and he was given a new identity. He also created the droid D-V9 to help him in his efforts. Just as he began his search for the whereabouts of Borborygmus Gog and Project Starscream, Hoole learned that the planet Alderaan had been destroyed, and his brother and sister-in-law had been killed. He then became the only living guardian of their children, Tash and Zak Arranda, who had been on a field trip when the Death Star destroyed Alderaan. He had to bring them along on his search, and entrusted much of their care to DV-9. Hoole and the children then tracked down all the leads on Gog and Starscream, eventually managing to destroy it on Kiva, along with Gog himself. This earned them the wrath of Darth Vader and a death warrant in just about every star system they could flee to, although they managed to remain one step ahead of the Empire. (ISU, GOF1, GOF2, GOF6, GOF7)

Man
this was one of the many family names used by the Bothan people. It translated loosely to "farmer". (GCG, WOTC)

Manaan
this ocean-covered planet, the second world in the Pyrshak System, was the homeworld of the Selkath race. It was an aquatic world known as the only source of kolto, more than 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. During this time, the native Selkath tried to remain neutral in an effort to maintain control of kolto production. However, when production mysteriously halted, the Selkath appealed to the Old Republic for help. Since Manaan was not officially a member of the Republic, help was neved dispatched to the remote world. Since that time, kolto production had steadily recovered, but the Selkath vowed never to allow outside influences to control their planet or the production of kolto. During the era of the New Order, the planet was subjugated by the Empire and transformed into a resort world, as a way to cover up Emperor Palpatine's true interest in the planet. While the Guide to Beautiful Manaandescribed the planet's oceans as pristine blue waters, most visitors discovered polluted, greenish water that gave off strange odors. (KOTOR, PH)

Manadept
this was one of the many species of domesticated greysors native to the planet Naboo. (WSW)

Managing Council
this was the name given to those beings who were charged with making policy decisions for the survivors of the Outblund Flight Project. (SQ)

Manak
this plant, native to the cooler grottoes of the planet Tatooine, was favored for its flavorful leaves. Manak leaves were used to wrap gorgs for roasting. (WSW)

Manalin
this hot, poisonous, rocky world is the first planet in the Joralla System. (PG1)

Manarai Mountains
this was the name of a range of snow-covered mountains located south of Imperial City on Coruscant. Luke Skywalker built a private retreat within the Manarai sometime after establishing his praxeum on Yavin 4. Note that most other sources claim that the only visible part of the Manarai Mountains was the tiny hump of rock found in Monument Park. Also note that this range of mountains is sometimes referred to as the Menarai in Before the Storm. (HTTE, TNR, BTS)

Manarai Uplift
this was one of the many buildings, located on the planet Coruscant, that provided a skyway tunnel through its upper reaches to facilitate traffic. However, the skyway known as Hazad's Skytunnel was generally considered one of the most dangerous skyways on the planet. (LEV)

Manarai, The
this was one of the most expensive and exclusive restaurants located in Coruscant's Imperial City. Prince Xizor was a silent partner in the business. (SE)

Manaroo
this female Aruzan was Abano's daughter. An accomplished dancer, Manaroo was known by many Aruzans for her natural talents. She was recognizable by her fair blue skin and dark blue air. Manaroo was taken off Aruza by the bounty hunter Dengar before Imperial troops could "process" her. After Dengar was accepted as part of the Imperial bounty hunt for Han Solo, Manaroo found work on Cloud City as a dancer. She danced to a band's accompanyment while juggling colored stones. She became lonely, though, and offered to share herself with Dengar via her Attanni. She fled Cloud City with Dengar after the Empire garrisoned it, and travelled to Tatooine. During the trip, she gave Dengar a link to her Attanni, and they shared each other's emotions and thoughts. Before reaching Tatooine, Dengar took her to Aruza to rescue her parents, then went to the desert world. She was captured by a huge, loose-skinned creature at the Mos Eisley cantina and brought to Jabba the Hutt as a dancer. She danced several times, almost all for her life, as Jabba's palace was thrown into chaos. The Alliance rescued Han Solo in a daring plot led by Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, and Jabba was killed at the Pit of Carkoon. Manaroo escaped and searched for Dengar, finding him in the Valley of Wind and rescuing him. As he recovered, Dengar agreed to marry Manaroo. In an effort to pay off their bills, they tried to raid Jabba's sail barge for lost credits, but found Boba Fett instead. They took the nearly-dead Fett back to Dengar's hideout in the desert, along with the female dancer, Neelah. Once there, Dengar insisted that she take the Punishing One and go into hiding. He was worried that their association with Boba Fett would lead to trouble. Manaroo agreed, and remained with the ship near Tatooine for nearly a month while Fett healed and the bounty hunters struggled against Kuat of Kuat and the assembler Balancesheet. It was during this time that Manaroo, realizing that they needed a huge fortune to clear their debts and retire, placed a bet with Drawmas Sma'Da on the fate of Dengar himself. Sma'Da took the bet, having little faith in Dengar's abilities. In the final struggle over the planet Kuat, Manaroo managed to save them all by rescuing the Hound's Tooth before it could disintegrate. She then contacted Sma'Da and recovered her winnings, a sum more than sufficient to pay off their debts. After Dengar finally agreed to retire, Boba Fett agreed to be the best man at their wedding. (TBH, MA, HM)

Manax
this fruit tree was native to the planet Cato Neimoidia, where it was cultivated by the Neimoidians. Many beings across the galaxy believed that the manax tree was the source of the nutritive fungus developed and sold by the Neimoidians. In reality, the manax tree was simply the growth medium. Leaves and bark from the trees was collected and ground into compost that was spread in vast, underground chambers known as fungus farms. (LEV)

Manazar
this starship officer served as the First Officer of the Penga Rift, under Captain Barjas. He was often referred to by his nickname, Mazz. (TT)

Manchisco, Tessa
a native of the planet Virgillia 7, this woman was a veteran Captain who served briefly with the Alliance. The commander of the cruiser Flurry, Tessa joined the Alliance fleet at Endor shortly after serving in the Virgillian Civil War. Tessa was instrumental in the organization of guerilla warriors into serious military units during the civil war, turning the tide against the sheer power of her Imperial-backed enemies. She later commanded a small fleet of twenty-two ships sent to Sullust by the Virgillian Free Alignment. A student of the Virgillian military, Tessa's tactics were unorthodox, and confused the Imperial captains during the civil war and at Endor. She and her crew were killed near Bakura, when Imperial Governor Nereus ordered his ships to fire on the Alliance's ships, following a battle against the Ssi-ruuk. (TB, TBSB)

Manda
this planet, the primary world in the Manda System, was known for its rundown spaceport, operative early in the Galactic Civil War. (DCAR, SWJ5, SWDB, HNN4)

Mandaba
the Selonian word for "language." (AS)

Mandaeen, Zeb
this man was, at one time, a member of the Republic Correctional Officers' Union, during the years prior to the Battle of Naboo. He was arrested and sent to the Oovo IV prison facility for the theft of a huge sum of credits from the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Despite his arrest, Mandaeen found himself the object of a bounty issued by the IBC, who wanted to bring Mandaeen in to answer for his crimes against some of their "less reputable but equally important" customers. Mandaeen believed himself safe, until Jango Fett infiltrated the prison facility to "rescue" Bendix Fust. During the attempt, Jango managed to claim the bounty on Mandaeen's head. (BH)

Mandallian Campaigns
this was a series of battles fought between the Mandalorian Crusaders and the Mandallian Giants, many millennia before the Galactic Civil War. (SWI80)

Mandallian Giant
this was a race of immense, heavily-muscled humanoids which was covered in green scales. The head of the Mandallian was dominated by its large, pointed ears, and its face was protected by a bony plate. Its mouth was filled with serrated teeth, and a pair of needle-sharp fangs hung from its upper jaw. Mandallians were known throughout the galaxy for their military sklills, and many individuals were trained from birth in combative arts, making them formidable opponents. It was believed that the Mandallian Giants were the only race to ever fully survive an attack by the Mandalorian Crusaders, and the Mandallian Giants earned the respect of the Mandalorians for their devotion. Later, many Mandallian Giants were allowed to fight alongside the Mandalorians in several wars of conquest. (MC19, SWI80)

Mandallian Narcolethe
this Mandalorian alcohol was famous in the Outer Rim Territories. (GG9, SWI80)

MandalMotors
this Mandalorian starship manufacturer had an outstanding reputation for designing military starships. MandalMotors was believed to have been created many centuries before the Galactic Civil War by Gustav Zenlav, a Mandalorian Merc known for his innovative designs for weapons and armor. During the height of the Clone Wars, MandalMotors was nationalized by the government of Mandalore and forced to produce materiel for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Years later, MandalMotors was not allowed to do business under the auspices of the New Order until an Imperial "advisor" - known as the Suprema - was placed on the company's board of directors. Following the Battle of Endor, the Suprema was ousted in favor of support for the New Republic. (DESB, EGV, SWI80)

Mandalore
this was the name taken by the commanders of the ancient Mandalorian warriors. The original Mandalore became known as Mandalore the First, and subsequent leaders added descriptive words to differentiate themselves. (TSW, SWI80)

Mandalore
an urban legend held that this jungle world was Boba Fett's home planet. According to the legend, Emperor Palpatine ordered the Mandalorian warriors to join his forces during the Clone Wars. Of 212 warriors who went into battle, just three survived: Boba Fett, Fenn Shysa, and Tobbi Dala. In reality, Mandalore seemed to have been simply the first planet conquered by Mandalore the First, who arrived on the planet with his warriors and destroyed the native mythosars. At he wake of the Clone Wars, slavers moved in an established a base of operations within the huge skeleton of a long-dead beast. It was later revealed that Boba Fett's father, Jango Fett, was one of the few Mandalores left in the galaxy, at the time of the Battle of Geonosis. The natives of the planet were again beseiged by slavers during the era of the New Order, this time a group of Nagai, and they struggled to rid the planet of the slavemasters. It was during this time that Fenn Shysa and Tobi Dala tried to retake the planet, working with Leia Organa and the Alliance to free Mandalore once and for all. (MC68, JFOS, MC100, SWI80)

Mandalore System
the planetary star system which is home to the Death Watch soldiers and the Mandalorian Shocktroopers. (ESB, ISB)

Mandalore the First
this ancient Mandalorian warrior was the first of his kind to take control of the various sects and unite them under a common leader. He was generally credited with leading the invasion that conquered the planet Mandalore, which was believed to have been named for him. (SWI80)

Mandalore the Indomitable
this was the name of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusader who took control of the ancient brotherhood shortly before the onset of the Great Sith War. Mandalore the Indomitable was defeated by Ulic Qel-Droma during the fighting, and agreed to help Ulic during the Sith War. He helped Ulic realize that Aleema was misleading him, but continued to fight for the Sith. Mandalore sent his forces to Kemplex Nine, while he himself went to Coruscant to rescue Ulic and Exar Kun. After regrouping their forces, the Sith Lords ordered the Mandalorians to descend on Onderon. Mandalore agreed to the mission, and attacked Iziz. However, his forces were overcome Onderon during a pass of the Dxun moon, and fled to the moon for refuge. There, Mandalore the Indomitable was killed by one of the Dxun beasts. (TSW, SWI80)

Mandalore the Resurrector
this was the name adopted by the clone trooper known as Alpha-02, after he escaped from Kamino and traveled to Mandalore. Alpha-02 was obsessed with restoring the Mandalorian Protectors after Jango Fett's memories were unlocked in his mind. (SWI80)

Mandalore the Ultimate
this was the title used by the leader of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders during the era of the Old Sith Wars. Mandalore the Ultimate took control of the Mandalorian survivors after the death of Mandalore the Indomitable on Dxun, rallying the survivors of the Great Sith War and forming the Neo-Crusaders in the process. This Mandalore believed that the Great Last Battle was at hand, and accepted beings of any race to join him in the quest for immoratilty through combat. During the Mandalorian Wars, Mandalore the Ultimate was vanquished by the forces of the Old Republic, and the Mandalorian order was again left battered and leaderless. (SWI80)

Mandalorian
although xenoanthropologists disagree on whether or not this alien race was actually native to the planet Mandalore, they were in agreement that the ancient Mandalorians were a race of gray-skinned beings who were almost constantly at war. Analysis of the physiology of the ancient Mandalorians and their language pointed to the possibility that the Mandalorians were actually the descendants of the Taungs of Coruscant. What is known for sure is that the ancient Mandalorians eventually died out, and the name "Mandalorians" became a catch-all for any being - regardless of race - who adhered to the tenets of the Mandalorian shock troopers. (SWI80)

Mandalorian
this was the dialect spoken by the Mandalorian people. Many xenolexicologists have pointed out similarities between the Mandalorian language and the writings of the Dha Werda Verda, suggesting that the ancient Mandalorians descended from the Taungs. It was believed to have died out with the death of Jango Fett at the Battle of Geonosis. (WOTC, SWI80)

Mandalorian Battle Harness
this was the original form of rocket pack used by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders, although it was much more than simply a propulsion system. The Battle Harness was a colossal weapons platform that transformed a simple Mandalorian Merc or a BL-series droid into a one-being arsenal. The Battle Harness consisted of two huge, articulated arms that were connected by sophisticated motion-control sensors to the arms of the Mandalorian. This allowed the Mandalorian to control the action of the arms with the movements of their own arms. One of these arms ended in a trip hammer that could pound its way through obstacles. The other arm was an immense claw that could crush objects and tear down walls. Atop the Battle Harness was a blaster cannon, and several other emplacements were located on the Harness for laser weapons. (SWI80)

Mandalorian Civil War
this was the name used to describe the period of history just before the onset of the Clone Wars, after Jaster Mereel assumed control of the Mandalorian Mercs. Mereel dreamed of uniting the disparate clans of Mandalorian loyalists under a single leader, to refocus their energies and restore the Mandalorians to their former glory and power. His rise to powere and the creation of the Codex forced other Mandalorian Mercs to break away from Mereel's band, thus setting off the civil war. Vizsla rose to power as Mereel's primary rival, forming the Mandalorian Death Watch. In response, Mereel named himself the leaders of the True Mandalorians, and both sides set out to destroy the other. Ultimately, the Mandalorian Civil Wars very nearly wiped out both sides of the conflict and would have ultimately eradicated the Mandalorians from the galaxy. A handful of Death Watchmen survived, as did the True Mandalorian Jango Fett. (SWI80)

Mandalorian Crusaders
this group was considered by many galactic historians to have been the first true group of Mandalorian shock troopers formed in the galaxy. The origins of the Crusaders have been traced back more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Endor, to a race of gray-skinned, apelike humanoid nomads that traveled through space seeking conflict of any kind. The Crusaders adhered to a loose set of laws known as the Canons of Honor, and were known to use state-of-the-art technology in their conquests. Religious historians discovered that the original Crusaders were a group of warriors dedicated to quasi-religious ideals, but over time, the Crusaders came to worship war and carnage. The Mandalorian Crusaders were known to have exterminated entire races, including the Kuarans, Fenelar, and Tlonians. Their love for war and combat drove them to participate in the Great Sith War, fighting alongside the Sith when an all-out attack was launched on Coruscant. However, the Jedi Knights managed to defeat the Sith, and nearly wiped out the Mandalorian Crusaders. The armor of the Mandalorian Crusaders was relatively primitive, when compared to that of the modern Mandalorian Protectors. This stemmed from the fact that the armor was worn for hand-to-hand combat more than blaster fighting. It was organic in appearance, with the shoulders and knees being studded with short spikes. The armor could be sealed for use in space, and was equipped with a Zim Systems rocket pack. (SWI80)

Mandalorian Crushgaunt
a specialized, armored glove created in the Mandalore System, the Crushgaunt was first developed by the Mandalorian Mercs. Each crushgaunt enhanced the wearer's ability to crush objects, such as hands or other body parts, allowing them to do considerable damage with minimal effort. The use of crushgaunts was outlawed by the Mandalorian government many centuries before the Galactic Civil War, but their use was later revived by the Mandalorian Death Watch. It was also rumored that one of Darth Vader's gloves was a crushgaunt. (RM, SWI80)

Mandalorian Death Watch
this elite group of Mandalorian Mercs split off from the true Mandalorian shock troopers when Vizsla rebelled against the leadership of Jaster Mereel. It was believed that the Death Watch was destroyed at about the same time as the rest of the Mandalorians, during the Mandalorian Civil War, and their order became something of a legend. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Boba Fett discovered that the Death Watch sect was still operative, having contracted with Black Sun for addition manpower and secrecy. During this time, their base of operations was hidden in the Red Sin Chimaera Nebula, near the Forest Moon of Endor. The armor of the Death Watchmen was distinctly different from that of the True Mandalorians, although the differences were in color. All Death Watchmen wore stark black armor, and their helmets were modified slightly to further distance themselves from their counterparts. The Death Watchmen were also only group of Mandalorians to regularly wear Mandalorian Crushgaunts, which had been outlawed by the Mandalorian government centuries earlier. (EGC, JFOS, SWGAL, SWI80, SWGAL)

Mandalorian Dungeon Ship
the basis for the Lictor-class ship, the Mandalorian dungeon ships were huge prisoner transport vessels which provided the most uncomfortable conditions for almost any species. This meant that the prisoners suffered the maximum discomfort before they were imprisoned on bleak, harsh worlds and left to die. Each of these ships measured almost a kilometer in length, and the interior sections of the ships were lined with ultradense alloys to prevent escape. Individual chambers could be reconfigured for a variety of activities, depending on the nature of the criminal and the amount of interrogation that needed to be done. (DE1, DESB, SWI80)

Mandalorian Iron
this metal was first forged by the ancient Mandalorians, and the secrets for its creation were a closely guarded secret. It was made up from metal ores and certain minerals, and was virtually indestructible, even to a lightsaber blade. Jedi Master Arca hid Freedon Nadd's Sith artifacts in a storehouse built from Mandalorian Iron in an effort to seal it forever, but Exar Kun used the Dark Side of The Force to penetrate it. (DLS, SWI80)

Mandalorian Manacles
locking devices used to clasp a captive's wrists together, these strong cuffs are made from Mandalorian Iron and are virtually inescapable. They come in many sizes to fit all kinds of races. (TOJ)

Mandalorian Mercs
this was the name used by the survivors of the Mandalorian Wars and the Old Sith Wars to describe their loose brotherhood. After the combined forces of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights virtually wiped out the Neo-Crusaders, the surviving Mandalorians were forced to go into business as mercenaries to stay alive. Disparate clans of mercenaries were formed under the guidance of the old Mandalorian Canons of Honor, but these new Mercs worshipped the credits in their bank accounts more than anything else. (SWI80)

Mandalorian Protectors
this was the anem used by the aberrant ARC Trooper Alpha-02 to describe the band of Mandalorian mercenaries he established on Mandalore during the height of the Clone Wars. Formed from local soldiers and policement, along with twelver former members of the Mandalorian Death Watch, the Mandalorian Protectors believed that they were working to restore the true Mandalorian order. On Mandalore, the Protectors helped the local government seize control of several prominent corporations, including MandalMotors. These corporations were no longer connected to the Old Republic, and the Protectors provided access to the Confederacy of Independenr Systems. Additionally, the Protectors agreed to carry out clandestine missions for the Separatists, working as their secret police force. It was the Protectors who launched intense attacks on Kamino and New Bornalex, destroying the cloning facilities there. However, in the wake of the Republic blitz that ended the Clone Wars, the Mandalorian Protectors were decimated. Of the 212 original members, only three survived the fighting: Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, and a shell-shocked Alpha-02. Years later, the Protectors were revived by Fenn Shysa, who had returned to Mandalore and became the planetary leader. He also became the newest Mandalore, and under his control the Protectors flourished for many years, until Boba Fett himself returned to Mandalore. Fett had come to Mandalore at the request of Taun We, who asked him to hunt Shysa down and destroy him for his part in the attacks on Kamino during the last stages of the Clone Wars. With Shysa's death, Fett assumed control of the Protectors, and the band was instrumental in keeping Mandalore safe during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. (SWI80)

Mandalorian Ripper
this disruptor weapon, of Mandalorian manufacture, was produced during the height of the Great Sith War. Its design was similar to a weapon used by Jigger Wraith, which was essentially an energy-propelled slugthrower. (KOTOR)

Mandalorian Shock Troopers
this name was used generically to describe the supercommando warriors who followed the Canons of Honor of the ancient Mandalorians. It was believed that the very first shock troopers were known as the Mandalorian Crusaders, a group formed nearly 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin from clans of gray-skinned humanoids. Decades before the Battle of Endor, the Mandalorians - known for their distinctive armor and helmets - fractured into two distinct groups. The true Mandalorians were led by Jaster Mereel, while the splinter group named themselves the Death Watch, and were led by Vizsla. Vizsla nearly destroyed the true Mandalorians on Concord Dawn, but could not. Jaster and his forces regrouped and grew strong again, with the help of mercenaries like Jango Fett. However, they were continually led into traps set by Vizsla and the Death Watch, which led Montross to believe that Jaster's leadership was failing. Many of the Mandalorians, however, stood behind Jaster, and later Jango Fett after Jaster was killed by Vizsla on Korda 6. Montross fled the group, which managed to survive for several more years before being led into an ambush on Galidraan. They were hired by the planetary governor to help defeat a group of insurrectionist rebels, unaware that the governor was under the control of Vizsla himself. The governor, acting on Vizsla's orders, had also contacted the Old Republic Senate, requesting the assistance of the Jedi Knights in defeating the Mandalorians. The governor claimed that the Mandalorians had been slaughtering political activitists and killing women and children, claims that Vizsla's forces actually committed. The Jedi task force, led by then-Master Dooku, eliminated the Mandalorians in combat. Only Jango Fett survived, but he was turned over to the planetary governor of Galidraan and enslaved. Note that this military band was referred to as the Imperial Shocktroopers in issue number 5 of the Bantha Tracks newsletter According to the newsletter, the Imperial Shocktroopers were wiped out by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars. Also note that Star Wars: Republic - Show of Force indicates that the Republic staging area on New Holstice was attacked by Mandalorian troops some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis. (ESB, VD2, JFOS, BTRKS5, RSF, SWI80)

Mandalorian Surrender
believed to have originated on the planet Mandalore, this combat tactic involved one side of a conflict infiltrating a small band of agents into their opponent's base, on a set of false pretenses about helping out the opponent. When the opponent captured the agents and figured out that it was too late to do anything about the enemy, the infiltrators would try to explain that they were only trying to help. In an effort to "prove" their desire to help, the infiltrators would agree to call out other groups of infiltrators who were "hidden" from view. In this way, the first group of agents managed to get larger numbers of invaders inside the opponent's camp, and forced the opposing leaders to surrender under the sheer weight of their numbers. (DN2)

Mandalorian Wars
this was the name used by historians to describe series of battles waged by the Old Republic against the ancient Mandalorians, some thirty-five years after the onset of the Great Sith War. After Mandalore the Ultimate agreed to fight alongside the Sith, the Old Republic decided that they needed to confront them as an enemy. Great effort was expended in defeating the Mandalorians, thereby eliminating the physical threat of the Great Sith War. The Republic could then focus its efforts on assisting the Jedi in the more mystical aspects of the war. (KOTOR, SWI80)

Mandalorian Wine
this wine was believed to have certain regenerative powers for the body and mind. (SWGAL)

Mandan
this was the name used to describe the human inhabitants of the Mand System. (DCAR, OWS)

Mandarin
one of the former names of the Koqus Starliner Star Morning. (SOL)

Manda-Roon Merchant Route
this hyperspace trade route was established between Manda and Roon by the Baobab Merchant Fleet. It was considered a much more reliable route than the so-called Death Wind Corridor, primarily because of the various lightstations that were installed to mark its path/ (WOTC, GORW)

Mandator II-class Star Dreadnaught
this follow-on to the original Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught was produced by Kuat Drive Yards during the height of the Clone Wars. These massive, heavily-armed ships were deployed primarily to defend the Kuat System, but also saw action as part of the Old Republic's defense fleets. (X3)

Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught
the Mandator-class dreadnaught was developed and manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, specifically for the purpose of defending the Kuat Sector from invasion during the last decades of the Old Republic. (X2, X3)
