- "I am going to Mandalore so that I may bathe in the Living Waters and be forgiven for my transgressions."
- ―Din Djarin to Bo-Katan Kryze
During the New Republic Era, in 9 ABY,[4] the Mandalorian Din Djarin undertook a mission to the Living Waters in the Mines of Mandalore. Djarin took on the mission after removing his helmet and thus becoming an apostate to the Children of the Watch, and being told by one of the sect's leaders, a woman called "the Armorer," that the only way he could repent was by bathing in the Living Waters. He enlisted the help of astromech droid R5-D4 to monitor the air quality of Mandalore and make sure it was breathable. After the droid confirmed it was, he began his journey down to the mines with his son Grogu by passing through the ruined city of Sundari and its Civic Center.[3]
After his first attempt to reach the waters was thwarted when he was captured by a cyborg scavenger, Grogu traveled in Din Djarin's N-1 starfighter to Kalevala to retrieve fellow Mandalorian Bo-Katan Kryze, who traveled to Mandalore with Grogu and rescued Djarin from the creature before leading him to the Living Waters. When Djarin walked into the waters, he fell down a large drop-off into a massive chasm below, forcing Kryze to save him by diving in and propelling herself with her jetpack. While bringing Djarin back up to the surface, Kryze came across a mythosaur in the waters.[3] Unconscious, Djarin did not notice the mythosaur. Djarin had taken a proof from the Living Waters, and they left for Kalevala.[2]
Over Kalevala, they were attacked by TIE/IN interceptors. After destryoing a few interceptors, they eventually retreated to the Tribe's covert, where both Djarin and Kryze were accepted to the Children of the Watch, as both were redeemed by bathing in the Living Waters.[2]

- ↑ 4.0 4.1 Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, the latter of which includes "Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore," must all be set in 9 ABY as well.
