The criminal organization Black Sun maintained a stronghold in Ord Mantell City on the planet Ord Mantell during the Clone Wars. Later during the war, after Black Sun had joined the Shadow Collective, the Collective's forces as well as its leader, Maul, used the stronghold as a staging ground for the inevitable Battle of Ord Mantell against the Separatists.[1]
