Legend

an Ithorian who was banished from his homeworld, Momaw Nadon has seen the highs and lows of life. As the leader of the Ithorian floatin city Tafanda Bay, he ruled over the best of life's offerings. He was free to maintain the ecological relationship with the Mother Jungle while influencing his race. A chance meeting with an Imperial Star Destroyer which was trying to nail down smuggling routes changed his life, however. The Imperials tried to take the Ithorians' horticultural knowledge, and threatened Momaw Nadon. He was forced to either give up his race's secrets or have the planet razed. He chose to give up some agricultural secrets rather than destroy the planet, and was banished from Ithor forever. Thus, Momaw Nadon became a freelance spy for the Alliance. He was in the Mos Eisley cantina when Obi-Wan and Luke were searching for passage to Alderaan. He is eagerly awaiting the next Ithorian Herd Meet, to rejoin his friends and relatives in spite of the Imperial orders. When the Alliance defeated Palpatine at Endor and restored the Republic, the Imperial directive against him was lifted, and he returned to Ithor to again lead the Tafanda Bay. He later greeted Wedge Antilles and Qwi Xux when they visited Ithor. He is now accompanied by two young human boys: clones of the Imperial agent who threatened him all those years ago, reborn to serve as revenge against the Empire.
