Legend

this man was one of the leaders of the Typha-Dor resistance, during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. Along with wife, Shalini, Mezdec rallied people from throughout the Uziel System for her crusade against the invasion plans of the Vanqors. Operating from a base on the moon known as TY44, Mezdec was the resistance's chief communications officer. Mezdec claimed that it was Samdew who had been planning to undermine the group's efforts by transmitting the exact location of their base on TY44, just before Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived in the Uziel System to mediate a cease-fire. Mezdec claimed that he had awakened to find Samdew at the communications station, and shot him with a blaster to stop him. In the ensuing firefight, Rajana shot Samdew in the chest, killing him instantly. It was later revealed that it was Mezdec, not Samdew, who was the traitor, and that Mezdec had tried to kill Samdew to cover his tracks. Four other members of their group were killed when the fire systems activated in their quarters, shutting down their oxygen supply. There deaths were also attributed to Mezdec. When the Jedi exposed him, Mezdec quickly escaped from TY44 and fled back to Typha-Dor, where he insinuated himself in the command structure of High General Bycha. Only the timely arrival of Obi-Wan and Anakin on the planet allowed Mezdec to be revealed as the true saboteur, and Bycha had him arrested and placed into custody for later questioning.
