Mandi
this was the Snivvian word for "tomorrow." (HNN5)

Mandian
this picket frigate was part of the fleet assembled by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The Mandian was among the ships dispatched to Praesitlyn some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis, as part of the mission to retake the Intergalactic Communications Center from the Separatists. The Mandian and several other picket ships were dispersed on the outer edges of Praesitlyn's system, as part of a network of ships that could warn the main force about Separatist reinforcements. It was the Mandian's crew that first discovered a reinforcement fleet arriving from Sluis Van, and although the crew was ready for a fight, their orders were to "see and flee." (JT)

Mandroxan Cartel
this Mid Rim criminal organization established a foothold on the planet Bridin Anchorage, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It was formed from an alliance of criminal organizations, led by the Manliss Enterprise, the Droxian Traders League and the Anavill Smuggler's Guild. The cartel was nominally led by the Manliss group, under the control of Artur Manliss. They were quite successful, considering that much of their business - illegal spice production and transport - was conducted in broad daylight. The cartel eventually controlled the spice trade in 23 separate systems in Portmoak Sector, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. (GG11)

Mandroxan Exports
a subsidiary of the Mandroxan criminal cartel, this export company fronted the Mandroxan weapons manufacturing business. (GG11)

Maneeli Tuun
this Polis Massan was one of the many members of the archaeological team that was investigating the ancient civilization of the sundered world of Polis Massa, during the last years of the Old Republic. Maneeli Tuun was trained as a physician, and served the archaeological team as a doctor and surgeon. He was also a strong supporter of the ideals of the Old Republic, and often assisted the Jedi Order with certain missions during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Thus, when Padme' Amidala was brought to Polis Massa by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Maneeli Tuun was on duty to assist in helping her deliver her twin babies. Many months later, he was forced to submit to the demands of Inquisitor Sancor, but he knew that he could never turn over all of Polis Massa's records to the Imperial agent. Maneeli Tuun destroyed what evidence he could, then provided only the minimum to Sancor in order to keep information on Padme's presence on Polis Massa a secret. After Sancor was killed while fighting Obi-Wan, Maneeli Tuun remained behind to cover up Sancor's death, and further safeguard any information on Padme' and the Jedi Order. (VD3, LJ2)

Manes, Tomathy
this man was the senior duty officer of the New Republic Defense Fleet base on Utharis. A communications specialist, Manes helped Luke Skywalker obtain a current tactical memorandum on the situation in the Koornacht Cluster, during the Black Fleet Crisis. (TT)

Manex
this man was one of the wealthiest members of the Civilized faction of the planet New Apsolon, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Naboo. Manex was the brother of the planetary leader, Roan, and had a number of other political contacts, all of which he used to help amass his fortune. A tall, plump man, Manex used his wealth to indulge himself with the things he liked the most. When he was questioned by Qui-Gon Jinn in regards to the death of Ewane, Manex claimed that he had no interest in politics, only business. Because of this, many people on New Apsolon believed Manex arranged for Ewane's death, in order to put Roan into a position of planetary rule. After the Jedi discovered Balog's secret Absolute base and rescued Tahl, Manex offered his residence and his facilities to them, in an effort to save Tahl's life. Unfortunately, Tahl died shortly after they arrived. Obi-Wan Kenobi doubted the sincerity of Manex's hospitality, despite the signs to the contrary. When the population began to propose his candidacy for planetary leader, Manex first refused, claiming that he was a businessman and not a politician. However, he decided to accept their candidacy, if only to help heal the wounds caused by Balog. He also started spreading a rumor that he held the list of Absolute supporters, a list which had already caused the deaths of Oleg and Pleni. He also revealed to the Jedi that he believed both Eritha and Alani were supporters of the Absolutes, and that Eritha's support of the Worker class was a sham. Alani herself confessed that Eritha had been working to ensure the Jedi were discredited. (TTB, DOH, CTV)

Mangol
this grizzled, old, treasure hunter died on Nespis VIII shortly after the Battle of Yavin. He supposedly located an ancient tome from the abandoned Jedi library, rumored to be located on the space station. His contemporary treasure hunters believe he was killed by the curse which surrounds the library, but in reality he was a victim of Borborygmus Gog's Essence Stealer. Mangol was later re-animated by Tash Arranda, when she reversed the Essence Stealer's actions. (GOF5)

Mangonel
a Ripoblus cargo hauler operative during the Sepan Civil War. (TIE)

Mangoriza
this was one of many Imperial-developed chemicals used for the interrogation and subduction of prisoners. (SWJ10)

Maniac
this Krish worked for Bolabo Hujaan on Byblos as a starship mechanic. He specialized in the repair and tuning of drive systems, and earned the nickname "Maniac" because of his wild-looking eyes and crazy giggling. He owned the astromech droid known as Patchwork, and their work on starships was legendary among spacers. Much of his legend was based on successful work, but Maniac was also known as the mechanic who eliminated the Yagaran Four. He had been working for the Yagaran Four as a mechanic, and modified their YT-1300 freighter to help increase its power and speed. The improvements resulted in disaster, as the hyperdrive exploded upon activation, killing the Yagaran Four. The resulting explosion spread a cloud of radioactive dust over the fifth moon of Elin Roe. As a hobby, Maniac spent his time tinkering with droids, and has successfully tested many of his modifications on Patchwork. (CRO)

Manikon
although not native to Coruscant, this race of beings found a home in the subsurface caverns of the cityscape on the planet. It was believed that the Manikons were part of a race which tore itself apart in a devastating civil war, and that the survivors managed to flee to Coruscant. The Manikons were scavengers, and spent much of their time hunting for food and trinkets in the underworld fo Coruscant. Over the generations, Manikons evolved to move about on all-fours, but could stand upright when attacking their targets. Their feet were wide and heavy, and were used to pummel or trample their prey. When cornered, or when confronted with a larger target, Manikons could spit a stining venom into their prey's eyes, temporarily blinding the prey while the Manikon attacked. (JQ1)

Manion Basca
this male Twi'lek owned the Jax Warehouse, located in the city of Hedrett on the planet Cularin, during the last years of the Old Republic. (EOS)

Manka Hunter, The
the name Greedo planned to use for his Incom corsair, which he purchased from Shug Ninx. (TME)

Manks, Gris
this man served in the Freedom's Sons and Daughters militia during the height of the Clone Wars, holding the rank of Colonel and acting as one of Zozridor Slayke's artillery commanders. He was easily distinguished by his size, as Manks was a huge man. During the battle to retake the Intergalactic Communications Center on Praesitlyn from the Separatists, Colonel Manks believed that he was up to the challenge of coordinating the combined forces of Freedom's Sons and Daughters and the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic. However, his military protocol droid was unsure that the proper materiel was available for deployment. The droid suggested more large mortars, which could have been used to pound the enemy's entrenched forces without damaging the center itself. Manks deemed the droid "negatively uncooperative" and banished it from the Fire Direction Center. In addition, the Separatist forces managed to compromise the Republic's communications network, and sent false instructions to the FDC using simulations of Nejaa Halcyon's voice. They were forced to call of their attack, and only a daring rescue mission led by Anakin Skywalker managed to save the center. (JT)

Mankuskett
this man was a Professor at the University of Sanbra, and a contemporary of Professor Tem Eliss. He was also the Chair of the Council on Metagrowth and Polymorphism, and was good friends with an unidentified Clawdite. (GMR10)

Mankvim-814 Interceptor
this small, two-person fighter craft was developed by the Techno Union and manufactured by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies during the height of the Clone Wars, to address the need for planetary security on those planets that were subjugated by the Separatists. Two weapon mounts were located on the nose of the craft, and could be equipped with law enforcement blasters or medium laser cannons, depending on the environment. The 10.7-meter-long Mankvim-814 required just a single pilot to operate, and was limited to in-system engagements due to its lack of a hyperdrive. Unlike previous droid starfighters that employed dedicated droid brains, the Mankvim-814 Interceptor was produced to accommodate a B1-series battle droid as its pilot. The Techno Union produced these bird-shaped ships on Utapau after subjugating the planet's Grand Halls, forcing the natives to mass-produce these craft in short order. (VD3, X3, SWDB)

Man-lift
this heavy-duty, repulsor-driven elevator was used to move miners to and from their digs. (JH)

Manliss Enterprise
this Mid Rim criminal organization established a foothold on the planet Bridin Anchorage, shortly after the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn. It became part of an overall alliance known as the Mandroxan cartel, along with the Droxian Traders League and the Anavill Smuggler's Guild. (GG11)

Manliss, Artur
this man was the leader of the Manliss Enterprise, and became the nominal leader of the Mandroxan cartel. He inherited the Enterprise from his father, Dunstain, who was believed to have been assassinated by members of the Droxian Traders League. Others believed that it was Artur, in dealing with Sehvorah and the Droxians, who agreed to pay of Sehvorah's gambling debt in return for the removal of Dunstain. It was Artur Manliss who convinced the League, as well as the Anavill Smuggler's Guild, to begin mining and producing spice on Bridin Anchorage. (GG11)

Manliss, Dunstain
this man was the leader of the Manliss Enterprise during the New Order, until he was assassinated and succeeded by his son, Artur. It was rumored that the Droxian Traders League was behind the assassination, and further evidence points to Artur himself paying off Sehvorah's gambling debts in return for Dunstain's death. (GG11)

Manlorey

this Dug and his friend, Rednax, often met for lunch at Dex's Diner, during the years surrounding the Battle of Geonosis. (SWI63)

Manod Fea
this Caarite male worked as a computer information officer for the Metatheran Cartel, during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Fea was assigned to lead the information management team sent to Cularin, and was one of the few members of the Cartel who remained on Cularin after the natives of the planet fought back against the Cartel's advances. (EOS)

Manollium
a yellow-feathered bird native to the planet Ithor, it was brought to Belsavis by the Brathflen Corporation. Note that Traitor refers to this bird as the manullian. (COJ, T)

Manollium-class Herdship
this Brathflen Corporation starship was designed to meet the specifications of the Ithorians, who wished to travel the galaxy in a starhsip which mirrored the environment of Ithor as much as possible. The 980-meter-long Manollium-class ship had all the amenities of a cruise ship, but remained loyal to the Ithorian desire to revere life. To this end, the weaponry of the Manollium-class was designed to incapacitate, but not destroy, an attacking ship. Thus, the ship was equipped with ten ion cannons and a pair of tractor beams, but no lasers or blasters. It was crewed by 800 officers and twenty-four gunners, and could accommodate up to 1,050 passengers and 500,000 metric tons of cargo. (SWJ15)

Manos
this Devaronian male served on the Imperial Interim Ruling Council. He was the leader of one of the galaxy's largest labor unions, and he supported Feena D'Asta and her plan to make peace with the New Republic. When she later asked for a vote of no-confidence in the ability of Xandel Carivus to lead the Council, Manos was the only other vote against him. (CE2, HCE)

Manta Droid Subcarrier
this was a larger version of the manta droid subfighter, designed to carry troops and supplies into battle. (SWI81)

Manta Droid Subfighter
this droid warship was developed for use on oceanic planets by the Techno Union, to augment the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the height of the Clone Wars. The manta was originally created by the Xi Char Cathedral Factories, at the request of the Trade Federation. They were developed after the Federation took heavy losses on Naboo and other aquatic worlds. Later, these ships were supplied to the Quarren Isolation League during their struggle to take control of the planet Calamari from the Mon Calamari Knights. Because the Xi Char were ordered to develop the manta droid subfigther in isolation from the rest of the Hoar Chall religious order, the manta suffered from a number of design inadequacies. They were not adaptable to different shapes like droid starfighters, although they resembled those ships in appearance. The forward mounted missile launchers were located on the nose of the craft, which was shaped like a wide diving plane, while the fuselage hung behind the main wing. (SWDB, CWC1)

Manta Ramair
this small corporation produced several models of competition podracers, including the Mark IV Flat Flat-Twin Turbojet, during the last decades of the Old Republic. Note that this name contradicts the name given in the Insider's Guide to Star Wars Episode I, which was Mantis RamAir. (SWDB)

Mantabog
this immence, blanket-shaped creature was once native to the planet Malastare. It used its shape to glide through the air, and dropped onto its prey with surprising swiftness. Once it captured its prey, the mantabog wrapped its body around the prey and squeezed, constricting ever tighter until the prey could no longer draw a breath, and suffocated. By the time of the New Republic, the mantabog was extinct, and could only be seen in an exhibit at the Holographic Zoo of Extinct Animals on Coruscant. (CCW)

Manta-class Starfighter
this starfighter design was developed and produced by theTapani Starship Cooperative, and built at the Tallaan Shipyards during the height of the New Order. Among the unique design features of the Manta-class was a magnetic docking clamp which eliminated the need for the addition of a mechanical landing claw. This allowed the starfighter to simply ride along on the back of a Tapani-class carrier. The Manta-class measured twelve meters in length, and required a pilot and gunner to operate. These craft were armed with a pair of fire-linked ion cannons, a pair of medium laser cannons, and a pair of heavy laser cannons. Like many Imperial designs, the Manta-class lacked a hyperdrive, therefore requiring a planetary base or a carrier to move it into position. Its flat, organic shape was reminiscent of the creature for which it was named. (TSIA, LOE)

Mantan
this planet was colonized by the Mon Calamari, many years before the Old Republic recognized the Mon Cals and the Quarren and member races. (GORW)

Mantan Wanderer
this Mon Calamari cruiser was the flagship of the Alliance's 14th Roving Line, and was under the command of Captain Qarl. (ROE)

Mantaris-class Transport
this amphibious transport ship resembles the huge, ray-like creatures native to the coasts of the planet Naboo. Their wings are swept backwards and they have two saber-like tails. Phosphorescent nodules at the tips of their wings give off a reddish glow when activated. The Mantaris-class was designed and manufactured by the combined efforts of the Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps and the Otoh Gunga Bongowerks in the era following the Battle of Naboo. It was developed as part of a joint effort to colonize Ohma-D'un, the primary moon of Naboo. This transport had similar characteristics to the bongo submarine, but with the capability of interstellar flight. Measuring ninety-eight meters in length, including its heat-sink finials, the Mantaris-class required a crew of five beings to operate. It could transport up to twenty passengers or a variety of creatures, as well as 250 metric tons of cargo. Additionally, cargo modules could be attached to the transport to increase its accommodations. In the wake of the Battle of Naboo, the Mantaris transport was armed with a concussion missile launcher. (GF, WOTC)

Mantarran

Manticore
an Imperial-I class Star Destroyer stationed at the Maw Installation by Grand Moff Tarkin, the Manticore was under the command of Captain Brusc. It was destroyed in the second Battle of Calamari when Admiral Ackbar used the half-constructed star cruiser Startide to ram the ship. (DA)

Manticore
this was one of the many Strike-class cruisers that made up the front lines of the Imperial Naval fleet. (XVT)

Mantid
this was one of the most common human surnames encountered in the galaxy. (GCG)

Mantid, Di
this woman was a frequent patron of the Outlander Club, some ten years after the Battle of Naboo. (OWS)

Mantigrue
this was a species of large, dragon-like lizard that was native to the planet Endor. It lived in the moon's mountain caves, emerging to soar the aerials and hunt its prey. It had large, leathery wings, sharp claws, and a long, pointed beak. It walked on its hind legs, as its forearms were small and designed to hold prey. Although primarily predatory in nature, the mantigrue - sometimes referred to as the condor dragon - was not above scavenging for food on occasion. Despite their size, these reptavians could not carry large prey, and had to hunt for small creatures. Wicket and Cindel encounter a mantigrue while they are trying to escape the Marauder attack on the Towani camp. It tries to carry Cindel, but she is too heavy and it drops her. Wicket rescues her in his makeshift hang glider. Teebo also encountered a mantigrue one time, when he was young and trying to help find the Ewok children stolen by Vulgarr and the Duloks. The mantigrue destroyed Teebo's glider. (ECAR, BFE, AT, WSW, SWDB)

Mantilorrian
an alien race which inhabited Space Station Kwenn. (EGC)

Mantine Casino
the less expensive of the two casinos located on the Kuari Princess. It offers a multitude of gambling games and electronic entertainments. (RM)

Mantis Bounty Hunter Syndicate
this large bounty hunting syndicate was based on Santarine, and was managed by Lady Marina Mantis during the height of the New Order. Although Mantis was ostensibly part of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, its size bordered on being a full-scale mercenary company, and it was very rich and powerful. In most respects, Mantis was nothing more than a private army made up on specialists in one form of bounty hunting or another. Mantis was held on retainer by High Lord Affric, who used his position and the strength of the Syndicate to further his own goals. However, Affric built up an incredible debt to Lady Mantis, and she was forced to pull out of the alliance and strike out on her own. (GG9, GG10, SWJ15, HG)

Mantis RamAir
this design conglomerate manufactured the MARK IV Flat-Twin Turbojet podracer. Note that the Star Wars Databank names this corporation Manta Ramair. (IG1, SWDB)

Mantle of the Force
this ancient artifact was uncovered in the shop of Suvam Tan, on Yavin Station, more than 4,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. The Mantle itself was simply a crystal, although it was imbued with the power of the Force. When used in conjunction with other crystals in the construction of a lightsaber, the Mantle of the Force was believed to have the ability to alter the abilities of the blade, giving the wielder unusual powers. When used in a lightsaber, the Mantle of the Force produced a blade which had an azure color. The Mantle of the Force was believed to have been even older that another such artifact, the Heart of the Guardian. It was pieced together from shards found by Suvam Tan in the temples of Exar Kun on Yavin 4, and many historians believed that it was much more powerful in its original, complete form. (KOTOR)

Mantoid
this was an unusual combat droid that made the rounds in the gladiator arenas of the planet Rattatak, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Cylindrical in stature, the Mantoid was armed with a variety of bladed weapons. (OWS)

Mantooine
a colony planet located in the Atrivis Sector, in the Outer Rim Territories, Mantooine served as one of the two endpoints of the Relgim Run, opposite Endoraan. It is the primary planet in the Mantooine System, which shares the Atrivis Sector with the Fest System. The planet was the site of an Imperial massacre, in which the planet's inhabitants were murdered when they opposed the Empire. The crushing defeat of the planet's populace hardened the resolve of early resistance leaders like Mon Mothma, and helped solidify the need for an Alliance to Restore the Republic. (SWSB, XW, TFE)

Mantooine
this New Republic CR90 Corvette was part of the force sent to liberate the planet Ciutric from the control of Prince-Admiral Krennel. It supported the flagship Emancipator, along with several other Corvettes and a trio of Nebulon-B frigates. The Mantooine took heavy fire from Krennel's forces, and barely survived the encounter. (IR)

Mantooine Medallion
a military decoration presented by the Alliance, it was designed to commemorate the sacrifice of the people of Mantooine, in the face of Imperial invasion. (XW)

Mantooine Minuet
this piece of classical music was favored by Emperor Palpatine. (MJEH)

ManTrap
this was a form of miniaturized repulsorlift field that worked in reverse from normal. When a being stepped on the trap, the repulsor field generated an intense, localized gravitational field that trapped the being on top of the trap itself. In this way, a being was captured but unharmed before they could reach a specific destination. (GG10, NEGW)

Mantrell, Olina
this was the name of the young girl Pierce Mantrell claimed was his daughter. She was gravely ill, and Pierce turned to theft and smuggling to fund the doctor's visits and medicine she needed to survive. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, she was under the care of Doctor T'jaleq Kith'Araquia. Pierce used her sad story as an excuse to steal the Amber Eye from Schnil Hakoon. (SWJ1)

Mantrell, Pierce
this man was one of Schnil Hakoon's chief rivals, and was a master thief and conman. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Hakoon accused him of stealing the Amber Eye. Mantrell later admitted to stealing the jewel, after Hakoon stole one of his cargoes and left him without enough credits to live. He claimed that he wanted to use the Eye to fund the medicine he needed to cure his daughter, Olina. In reality, he had no daughter, and simply wanted the Eye to fund his own operations. A team of Alliance agents, on the planet to obtain a cure for the Direllian Plague, captured Mantrell and obtained the Amber Eye. They later returned it to Schnil Hakoon, who repaid them with supplies. (SWJ1)

Mantrony
the Bakuran Captain of the Watchkeeper, she loudly argued with Ossilege for command of the ship after it was disabled trying to enter the Corellia System. She lost the argument. (AS)

Mantys
this was a species of flying, predatory insect that was native to the planet Kubindi. Its two forelegs were used as grasping arms, while it moved about on the ground with the other four legs. Individual mantyses lived high in the forest canopy, in a large nest that it created from plant matter and sticks. Most mantyses captured their prey on the ground, then carried it back to its nest in order to eat it. (MIS6)

Manuever 717
this was the Imperial codename for a mission in which an officer wanted to get rid of a possible spy or enemy agent was posing as a pilot onboard a warship. The spy would be allowed to continue their normal flight schedule, and would be sent out on several starfighter mission with other officers. During one of these missions, the commander could issue the command to fly Manuever 717. Under this order, the loyal pilots would lead the spy away from the ship on what appeared to be a routine mission. The spy would be allowed to lead the mission, so that his fighter would be in front of the others. Then, once the ships were in a position such that the spy couldn't see them, they fired on and destroyed his ship. In this way, the spy was killed in a remote area, and the returning pilots were able to claim the spy was shot down by enemy fire. (T21)

Manullian
see Manollium (T)

Maoi
this race of amorphous beings was created by the ancient Kathol race, but where discarded by DarkStryder in the wake of the Rift Disaster. DarkStryder found them to be amoral and self-centered, and tried to dispose of them in the depths of the Segmi tunnels. The Maoi survived, however, and thrived in the underground environment. The Maoi also developed an affinity to the Ta-Ree energy, and often used it to hold their prey while digesting it. This put the prey in the line of fire, protecting the Maoi during a struggle. The prey was devoured from the inside out by a Maoi, which forced itself down the prey's throat and used digestive acids to eat the internal organs. (E)

Map Reader
this slender device was used to display the galactic map stored inside a map record. Using the coordinates and data stored in the map record, the map reader used sophisticated holographics to display an interact, room-filling map of the galaxy. (AOTC, AOTCA)

Map Record
this small orb was used store a galactic map of known space. No larger than a marble, the map record was placed inside a map reader to display its contents. These devices were used during the last decades of the Old Republic. (AOTCA)

Maphus Tria
Tord Gamb was known to have set up a series of scams and cons on this planet, during the early years of the New Republic. (WBC)

mapia
this Shyriiwook word was used as the suffix to many Wookiee names. It translated into Basic as "season" or "storm". It could be attached to a prefix by itself, or combined with other suffixes to form a complete Wookiee name. (GMR10, GCG)

Mapping Skiff
developed by Koensayr during the years following the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, a mapping skiff was a small, intra-system craft that could enter a planet's atmosphere and do preliminary mapping of terrain and ecosystem before returning to a mother ship. These vessels were used primarily by large corporations, such as RePlanetHab, since they could afford the cost of an additional vessel. However, it made their claims to a planetary discovery much more detailed than those of independent explorers. After the business of searching for new planets became more cutthroat, Koensayr began arming their mapping skiffs, as per orders from RePlanetHab. (DN1)

Mapuzo
