Legend

this Iskalonian male was the first to make contact with Lando Calrissian, when the Alliance dispatched the Millennium Falcon to locate Tay Vanis, shortly before the Battle of Endor. Like most Iskalonians, Mone was a cheerful individual who couldn't resist commenting on the frailties of living out of the water. His father Primor, the ruler of the Iskalonians, considered Mone to be an irresponsible pleasure-seeker. When Lando formed a mission to travel to Gamandar to locate Tay Vanis, Mone volunteered to accompany them. He believed that his knowledge of the planet would be beneficial, and his wife, Kendle, agreed. Unknown to them all, however, was that Kendle had already alerted Admiral Tower of their mission, so they were captured almost as quickly as they arrived on Gamandar. Thanks to the tireless and daring work of R2-D2, they managed to escape from Gamandar and return to Iskalon, only to find that the city of Pavillion, and a great many Iskalonians, had been destroyed by a tidal wave. Among the dead were his father, Primor, and his wife, Kendle. Mone took it upon himself to assume leadership of the Iskalonians, taking on the role of The First to Swim in an effort to bring them together to rebuild their lives. He also forbade the Alliance from returning to Iskalon, for fear of another Imperial reprisal, and shut Iskalon's doors to offworlders.
