Ord Mantell

located in the Bright Jewel System, Ord Mantell was known for its lenient banking laws and their flexibility. It was settled some 12,000 years before the Battle of Endor by Corellian colonists as an advanced military outpost for the Old Republic. Over time, more wealthy planets and better hyperspace routes diminished Ord Mantell's strategic importance, but became something of a free port for all manner of freighters and cargo ships. Despite the planet's dropping stature, it remained known as the Heart of the Bright Jewel, orbiting the blue star at the center of the Bright Jewel System. The planet was famous for its thick, outer cometary cloud, which has been the site of the Blockade Runners Derby for nearly 100 years. Two large moons and thirteen other satellites orbited the planet, and the cloudcover was tinged with pink when viewed from the planet's surface. These natural wonders made Ord Mantell something of a tourist attraction, despite its seedier side. It is also one of Thrawn's feint attacks just prior to his attack on Coruscant. It has two moons, and has a temperate environment. It claimed to be free of Imperial interest, but Han Solo discovered an Imperial fleet on maneuvers when he arrived there. It was at a starship scrapyard on Ord Mantell that Dash Rendar, working to locate information on Han Solo's whereabouts for Lando Calrissian after the debacle at Cloud City, ran into IG-88 and other bounty hunters. The bounty hunters were trying to intercept Boba Fett, who was transporting Han Solo's frozen body to Jabba the Hutt. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Ord Mantell was approached by the New Republic to help alleviate the overwhelming rush of refugees fleeing the battlezones. Like many refugee worlds early in the war, it was eventually overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. The planet was eventually liberated by a band of soldiers wearing Mandalorian armor. It was believed that their leader was none other than Boba Fett himself, although only Han Solo had any evidence to support this rumor.
