Battle of Yavin. The Alliance was initially suspicious of Madine, but he quickly
proved himself and became one of Mon Mothma's most important military advisers.
He developed a Rebel ground tactics and strategies while Admiral Ackbar concentrated
on space-combat tactics. When the alliance learned the Empire was building
a second Death Star above the forest moon of Endor, Madine executed the procurement

- "Mii weez joto ne dimiix?": "Can you
send a pilot to guide me in?" in the Bocce language. [GPB]
- Millennium Falcon: A Corellian stock light
freighter that has been accused of looking like a piece of junk but is one
of the fastest, best-equipped vessels in the galaxy, despite its tendency
to break down or malfunction. For years, it has been Han Solo's ship, copiloted
and maintained by his partner Chewbacca the Wookiee. In the past, it has belonged
to a number of owners before Land Calrissian took possession of it. Lando
lost the ship to Solo in a game of sabacc. Lando won it back twice, but eventually
returned the ship to Solo. Under Solo's guidance and Chewbacca's careful and
loving administration, the Falcon has undergone major overhauls,
refittings, and modifications that make it vastly different from the manufacturer's
specifications. The outside has been left deliberately dilapidated to hide
the ship's true abilities. This Corellian Engineering Corp. YT-1300 is 27
meters long and sports a hyperdrive that is nearly twice as fast as most Imperial
warships. Both the hyperdrive and sublight engine can be finicky, though,
due to all the modifications. The Falcon has a heavily-armored hull,
custom security mechanisms, computer-assisted targetting consoles, boosted
deflector shields, and a more-powerful weapons system than a ship of its class,
size, and designation is allowed to carry. It has a powerful -- and illegal
-- sensor suite, shielded smuggling compartments, two quad laser cannons,
two concussion missile launchers, and a retractable light laser cannon. During
much of the Galactic Civil War, the Falcon suffered from a rash of
minor problems that required almost constant periods of repair. Still, it
was one of the best ships in service to the Alliance. It participated in the
destruction of both Death Star battle stations, ran Imperial blockades with
apparent ease, and ferried Princes Leia Organa on many of her most important
missions during those dark years. Solo was still flying the Falcon
as of the launch of the Yuuzhan Vong incursion, though without the aid of
his longtime copilot, Chewbacca, who died in a rescue mission to a moon of
Sernpidal. During the later part of the Clone Wars, the Falcon was
painted blue and was affiliated with the Republic. Before it was one of the
most famous ships in the Rebel Alliance fleet, the Corellian freighter could
often be found docked at Coruscant landing platforms. Its front cargo-gripping
mandables are used to lift and transport heavy loads and its body can store
plenty of supplies. Standard crew is a pilot and a copilot. Flown by everyone from Lando Calrissian to Han Solo and Chewbacca to Gannis Ducain, the Millennium Falcon doesn’t look like much. But special modifications under the freighter’s junky hull enable her to take part in some of the greatest victories of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic.

The moisture farms of Tatooine, for example, use vaporators to squeeze water
from the air to irrigate subterranean produce farms and for human consumption.
[SW]
- mole miner: This utility craft, designed to operate
in space, on asteroids, and on worlds with hostile environments, digs ore
from places that are normally impossible to mine. MOle miners operate from
a base or headquarters hips, returning at the end of a world shift. A mole
miner can be operated by a crew or by remote control. Using its bottom-mounted
plasma jets to slice through solid rock, the mole miner gathers minerals and
ores into storage bins through a series of vacuum shafts and grinders. Though
once in widespread use, mole miners have been mostly replaced by mining droids.
Lando Calrissian employed mole miners at his operation on the planet Nkllon
until Grand Admiral Thrawn stole many of the craft. The Empire used the mole
miners at the Battle of Sluis Van to burrow into capital ships so Imperial
crews could hijack the vessels. [HE, HESB]
- Moll, Demma: This reserved, attractive woman owned
a farm on the planet Annoo. During the early days of the Empire, the Fromm
gang wanted Demma's farm and gave her and her daughter, Kea, all kinds of
trouble. Demma secretly led a band of freedom fighters working to destroy
Fromm's weapons satellite, the Trigon One. [DTV]
- Moll, Kea: A beautiful 17-year-old when R2-D2 and C-3P0
first met her during the early days of the Empire, she lived on her mother's
farm on the planet Annoo. She was brave and athletic, able to handle both
spacecraft and landspeeders with an expert's touch. [DTV]
- Moltok: This planet in the Dartibek system is the homeworld
of the Ho'Din species. [COJ, GG4, LCJ]
- "Moma.": "Meal" in the Bocce language.
[GPB]
- Mon, Ephant: A pachydermoid Chevin from the planet
Vinsoth, he was not an official member of Jabba the Hutt's organization, but
he was the closest thing to a friend the crimelord admitted into his inner
court. Once a mercenary of some repute, he turned to weapons running after
concluding that it was safer and more profitable to sell arms than to use
them. He sold weapons to anyone, from pirates to outlaws to Rebels, though
his most profitable ventures were with Jabba the Hutt. After the two survived
a raid on an Imperial weapons depot, Jabba made Ephant Mon his secret internal
security officer. He tried to convince Jabba to believe Luke Skywalker and
let the Jedi and Han Solo go free. Jabba refused, and Ephant Mon decided not
to ride out on the sail barge that day. He returned to his homeworld and founded
a sect of Force worshippers. [GG5, RJ, SWCG, TJP]
- Monarch: An Imperial Star Destroyer. Its commander,
Captain Everen, surrendered it to the Alliance rather than see it destroyed
in the invasion of Coruscant. [WG]
- Mon Calamari: This planet is nearly completely covered
by water and serves as home to two species: The peace-loving Mon Calamari
and the cautious Quarren. The surface features small, marshy islands and enormous
floating cities that extend above and below the water, including Reef Home,
Coral Depths, Kee-Piru, and Coral City. The architecture and design used throughout
the planet maintains an organic appearance, demonstrating the inhabitants'
love for the world. The Mon Calamari had already constructed space vessels
and were beginning to explore the galaxy beyond their star system when the
Empire arrived. The Imperials destroyed three floating cities to convince
the inhabitants to stop resisting enslavement. A Quarren, Seggor Tels, was
believed to have deliberately lowered Calamari's defenses to allow the Empire's
attack. This led to tension between the two species on Mon Calamari. With
the help of the Rebel Alliance, the planet threw off the yoke of Imperial
oppression and converted its ships and space docks to aid the Rebellion. Six
years after the Battle of Endor, as the New Republic was solidifying its position
in the galaxy, the Empire began a new campaign to reassert its power and dominance.
The water world was the first planet attacked by the clone Emperor's World
Devastators, in the Battle of Calamari. The planet suffered great damage,
but the new Imperial war machines were stopped thanks to the actions of Luke
Skywalker. A year after that attack, Leia Organa Solo visited Calamari Admiral
Ackbar at his home to convince him to return to the Republic. A subsequent
attack by Admiral Daala's Star Destroyers led to the destruction of the floating
city, Reef Home. [AS, DA, DE, DESB, DS, GG4, POT, RJ, SWRPG3SE, SWSB, TJP,

- Mon Calamari: A species of amphibious humanoid land-dwellers
from the planet of the same name. These gentle beings became powerful members
of the Rebel Alliance after the Empire invaded their world. Used as slave
labor to build the Imperial war machine, the Mon Calamari eventually became
a formidable fighting force for the Alliance, contributing badly needed capital
starships and the military leadership of Admiral Ackbar. They share their
Outer Rim homeworld with the aquatic Quarren. They tend to be soft-spoken
but vigorously defend causes that inspire them. Mon Calamari suffered under
great oppression under the Galactic Empire; thus, it was one of the first
worlds to declare support for the Rebel Alliance. Mon Calamari are widely
recognized for their keen analytical and organizational abilities, and they
have developed a reputation as being among the foremost ship designers in
the galaxy. They see everything they create as a work of art, not just as
a tool or weapon. Creative, quiet, and inquisitive, the Mon Calamari are dreamers
who cherish peace but aren't afraid to fight for the causes they believe in.
The average Mon Calamari stands 1.8 meters tall. They have high-domed heads,
large eyes, and smooth, mottled skin. They speak, read, and write Mon Calamarian
and Basic. They tend to learn Quarrenese as well. Example names include: Ackbar,
Bant, Cilghal, Ibtisam, Jesmin, Oro, Perit, and Rekara. Mon Calamari seek
their dreams among the stars. They are idealistic and daring, often attaching
themselves to causes that seem hopeless or lost right from the start. They
strive to prove that even thinkers and dreamers can be brave and daring when
the need arises. They are bright and prudent, but have relatively frail physiques.
They are excellent swimmers even when distracted or threatened, have low-light
vision, and are keenly perceptive. [GG3, GG4, RJ, SWRPG3SE]
- Mon Calamarian: The language of the Mon Calamari people
from the homeworld of the same name. [SWRPG3SE]
- Mon Calamari star cruiser: The primary capital ships
in the Alliance and New Republic's battle fleet, these organic-looking vessels
were originally designed for pleasure, colonization, and exploration efforts.
Each Mon Calamari star cruiser is handcrafted by dedicated technicians and
engineers and treated as works of art. These vessels are built with many redundant
systems, making them difficult to service but extremely reliable in combat
situations. [DESB, MTS, RJ, RSB, SWSB]
- Money Lane: A nickname for the overlapping field of
fire between the Millennium Falcon's upper and lower quad laser batteries.
Whenever Han Solo and Chewbacca were forced into a battle, they wagered on
who could hit more enemy targets. Those targets hit in the Money Lane were
worth double, as both gunners had an equal chance at them. [HSE]
- Monn, Jedi Master Voolvif: Aloof and solitary Jedi
Master during the Clone Wars. A Shistavanen, sometimes called "wolfmen,"
Monn was one of the few Jedi to survive the Battle of Geonosis. During the
Clone Wars, Monn confronts waves of battle droids on Muunilinst in an all-out
fight to stop the wealthy InterGalactic Banking Clan's support to the Confederacy.
With a sweep of his lightsaber, Monn cuts down several droids at a time. [CW1]
- Mon Remonda: An interim MC-80B Mon Calamari
star cruiser delivered to the New Republic about 18 months after the Battle
of Endor. It participated in the invasion of Coruscant, served as the flagship
of the fleet sent to repel Warlord Zsinj's offensive, and was eventually destroyed
by the World Devastator Silencer-7 at the Second Battle of Calamari.

Ch'no, an H'drachi soothsayer. The only survivor in an attack that led to
the Empire taking control of the planet M'haeli, Mora was the heir to M'haeli's
ruling house. [ROC]
- Morag: A powerful Tulgah witch, she lives on the forest
moon of Endor. With a shriveled, stooped body and a mandrill's face, she is
thoroughly evil. Her skills in magic and medicine rival even Logray's. She
lives in a castlelike formation set into the side of the active volcano called
Mount Thunderstone. Spear-wielding Yuzzums patrol her home atop rakazzak beasts.

site of a Kubaz colony, it is listed as Doornik-319 on New Republic astrogation
charts. The Yevetha called it Preza. The Yevetha destroyed the Kubaz colony
12 years after the Battle of Endor. [BTS, SOL, TT]
- morrt: Parasites about the size of field mice, these
creatures are native to the planet Gamorr. These bloodsuckers feed on living
organisms, staying with a single host throughout their long lives. Gamorreans
consider morrts to be friendly, cuddly, and loyal. They keep these parasites
as pets and status symbols, and the morrts are the only creatures that Gamorreans
display open signs of affection to. The more morrts attached to a Gamorrean,
the more status the Gamorrean has in the eyes of his peers. Matrons and clan
warlords regularly have in excess of 20 morrts covering their bodies. [SWSB]
- Mos Eisley: A spaceport city on the Outer Rim world
Tatooine, it attracts interstellar commerce as well as all sorts of spacers
looking for rest and relaxation after a long haul. The vast number of aliens
and humans constatly moving through the spaceport, and its distance from the
centers of galactic activity, have made Mos Eisley a haven for all types of
thieves, pirates, and smugglers. Even after the influence of Jabba the Hutt
was ended, the city remained a "hive of scum and villainy." The
city's old central section is laid out like a wheel, while the newer sections
are formed into straight blocks of half-buried buildings designed to protect
them from the heat of the twin suns. The entire city acts as a spaceport,
with craterlike docking bays scattered throughout. [GG7, SW, TM]
- Mos Eisley cantina: A popular spot in the spaceport
city Mos Eisley, located on the desert planet Tatooine. It is sometimes called
Chalmun's cantina after its Wookiee owner. Everyone and everything is welcome
in the cantina except droids. For many years, a grouchy man named Wuher served
drinks at the cantina, and Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes entertained patrons
with their famous brand of jizz-wailing music. Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan
"Ben" Kenobi met Han Solo and Chewbacca in this cantina. LOCATIONS BUILDINGS TATOOINE [SW, TM,

- Mothma, Mon: Committed to the cause of freedom in the
galaxy, the senator from the planet Chandrila became the leader of the Rebel
Alliance and the founder and first chief of state of the New Republic. Mon
Mothma's family background prepared her for her role in galactic politics.
Her father was an arbiter-general for the Republic who was called upon to
settle disputes between the various member species. Her mother was a planetary
governor who taught her daughter how to administer, to organize, and to lead.
Mon Mothma remained the youngest person to serve in the Republic Senate, until
the election of Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan. Mon Mothma served with vigor
and integrity, even through the troubles the Republic fought. She led the
factions that opposed the growing power of the evil Senator Palpatine, who
worked behind the scenes to have himself elected supreme chancellor of the
senate. She was the last to hold the position of senior senator prior to the
disbanding of the senate. With the support of Bail Organa of Alderaan, Garm
Bel Iblis of Corellia, and others, she became increasingly vocal in her opposition
to Palpatine. When he anointed himself Emperor and founded his New Order,
Mon Mothma secretly started helping the fledgling Rebellion. When her involvement
with the Rebels was discovered, she barely escaped Coruscant ahead of the
Imperial secret police. In the Corellian system, Mon Mothma participated in
a secret meeting to draft the Declaration of Rebellion and the Corellian Treaty.
Unimpressed, Palpatine formally disbanded the senate and declared Mon Mothma
a traitor. She was elected as the Alliance's chief of state and worked hard
to run the ragtag resistance into a force to be reckoned with. Thanks to central
leadership, the Rebellion began to make strides against the Empire, culminating
in the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin. Once the Empire's
tyranny and weakness were exposed, many planets and groups joined the Rebellion.
Having gained strong military leaders and constantly improving supplies, Mon
Mothma gave the order for her all-out offensive that became the Battle of
Endor. Following the victory at Endor and the deaths of the Emperor and Darth
Vader, Mon Mothma began the task of creating the New Republic. With ambassadors
working throughout the galaxy and keeping a watchful eye on the remnants of
the Empire, she established the new government's seat of power on Coruscant
-- the capital world that had served the same function for the Republic and
the Empire. Later, as she succumbed to a terrible wasting disease, Mon Mothman
assigned her duties to Princess Leia Organa Solo and resigned. Her life was
eventually saved by Cilghal, one of Luke Skywalker's Jedi students. She decided
to remain retired so Leia could continue to govern, although she temporarily
resumed her role while Leia battled a vote of no confidence and charges brought
against her husband, Han Solo. When the crisis ended, Mon Mothma gladly returned
the reins of government to Leia. CHARACTERS HUMANS REBELLION REPUBLIC NEW_REPUBLIC [DA, DFR, GG5, HE, JS, LC, NR, RJ, RSB, SWSB]

for the Sepratists during the Clone Wars. After turning to the dark side of
the Force, Anakin Skywalker (now Sith apprentice Darth Vader) went here at
the command of his master, Sith Lord Darth Sidious to kill the Separatist
leaders. Before he could leave, Senator Padme Amidalla arrived in search of
Anakin. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi had stowed away aboard her ship. He emerged
and fought Anakin in lightsaber combat across the Mustafar base and out into
the lava on repulsorlift devices. It was here where Kenobi had the high ground
and Anakin leapt off a repulsorlift and was cut down. He lay on the burning
surface nearly dead until his new master arrived to save him. Mustafar, where Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker fatefully duel, has one of the harshest environments in the galaxy. The fiery Outer Rim planet is covered with lava geysers, molten rock and valuable minerals mined by burly natives with tough bodies which can withstand extreme heat. This was the birthplace of the mechanized form of Darth Vader following his battle with Obi-Wan. Later, Vader would make Mustafar his home in the galaxy. LOCATIONS PLANETS EMPIRE [RotS]

- mynock: This leathery, black flying creature is a silicon-based
life-form that evolved in the vacuum of space. Mynocks are nourished by stelar
radiation, and they absorb silicon and other minerals from asteroids and space
debris. When they absorbed enough material, they reproduce by dividing in
two. As they are extremely energy-tropic, they often attach themselves to
passing starships not only for the energy spillage these ships give off, but
to absorb the minerals from the hulls in order to reproduce. Although they
once came from a single system, mynocks have migrated throughout the galaxy
as unwanted passengers aboard unsuspecting starships. Leather-winged creatures that fly through deep space, roosting in asteroid fields and sometimes sharing the stomachs (and meals) of space slugs. The parasitic mynocks can drain a starship’s energy reserves by chewing on power cables and eating energy conductors. Smart captains make frequent mynock checks. CREATURES [ESB, SWSB]

Thrawn invaded the planet in search of Luke Skywalker. Myrkr's tall trees
have a high metaL content that blocks sensor sweeps. One of its native species,
the creatures called ysalamiri, have the ability to push back the Force. While
Luke Skywalker was visiting the planet, he recalled stories from his youth
that invoked frightening images of fortresses inhabitied by evil beings that
had trees growing through them. His memories of the dark tales were incomplete,
and all he could remember were feelings of danger, helplessness, and fear.
