Mamkoda was an astronomical object located[2] in the Mamkoda system within the Cassander sector of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. It was situated in grid square L-5 of the Standard Galactic Grid,[1] within both the New Territories[3] and Borderlands regions. During the Cold War between the First Order,[2] the successor state of the Galactic Empire,[4] and the Resistance,[2] a small military force created by the New Republic senator Leia Organa,[5] a group of pirates operating in the sector took control of a local spaceport and turned it into their base.[2]
In 34 ABY,[6] the Resistance learned that the First Order wanted to take control of the Cassander sector by supplying weapons to the pirates, and as an answer to the threat, the Resistance sent a group of A-wing starfighters and bombers there. The group's first target in the region was the pirate base on Mamkoda, and after a battle with pirate forces, the Resistance forces were able to destroy the base.[2]
Behind the scenes
Mamkoda was first mentioned in the the 2017 canon replica journal book The Last Jedi: Bomber Command, written by Jason Fry.[2]
