Legend

a Mandan sent to Biitu to establish a trading post and a fuel-ore mining operation, he was a reckless adventurer whose family owned the Baobab Merchant Fleet during the early years of the New Order. Mungo was dispatched to Biitu by the elders who served as the Merchant Fleet's board of directors, who feared that Mungo's recklessness would prove to be the undoing of the fleet. It was just before his assignment to Biitu that Mungo assumed ownership of R2-D2 and C-3PO, after they were freed by Jann Tosh. When the Empire discovered the fuel reserves of Biitu, they dispatched the Great Heep to capture Mungo and take control of the refineries. While they were able to defeat the droid and reclaim Biitu, much of the planet's surface had been destroyed. After defeating the Imperials on Biitu, Mungo and the droids set out for the Roon System, in the hopes of locating the mysterious and valuable Roonstones. Upon arriving on Roon, Mungo found himself the target of Governor Koong, who had pursued him from Biitu. On Roon, Mungo met Auren Yomm, and helped her team win the Colonial Games. For his efforts, Auren gave Mungo a single roonstone, giving him the hope of finding more. Shortly afterward, Mungo discovered the "haunted" starship on which his distant relative, Ogger Baobab, lived. Before passing on, Ogger bequeathed six bags of roonstones to Mungo, as well as providing more information on where to find the stones. Before Mungo and the droids could travel further, they were captured by Koong and held by his henchman, Gaff. Mungo dropped the Roonstones in order to ensure their escape. He then ran into Koong's plans to destroy the Tawntoom province by releasing ther rooze germ, and Mungo was able to steal the germ and free the Yomm family. In the process, he discovered that a great cache of Roonstones was located beneath Tawntoom province. He tried to negotiate the return of his starship, the Caravel, in exchange for the Roonstones. However, Admiral Screed double-crossed Koong, and Koong destroyed the Roonstones' location. Mungo managed to escape with but a single Roonstone. This stone, however, contained the earliest-known text of the Dha Werda Verda.
