Manaan

Manaan was an ocean planet located in the galaxy's Inner Rim, in grid square O-11 on the Standard Galactic Grid. It was the homeworld of the sentient Selkath species, which had been historically devoted to the care of their native oceans. The Selkath bounty hunters Mantu and Chata Hyoki hailed from Manaan.

The fisher Skoova Stev mentioned Manaan and its roiling waves during an analogy about having a flexible moral compass while talking to the Jedi Knight Cal Kestis on either the planet Koboh or Jedha in 9 BBY.

Manaan was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in Mantu's entry in the now-discontinued Encyclopedia on StarWars.com, which was carried over to its replacement, the Databank. It was originally created for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, a 2003 Star Wars Legends roleplaying game developed by BioWare.

In 2016, a Star Wars-inspired compilation album titled Star Wars Headspace was released, and it featured a track named "Sunset Over Manaan," which was recorded by the house music producer ATTLAS. Manaan can be mentioned during optional dialogue after Stev catches a glottsamcrab in the 2023 Respawn Entertainment video game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. As the creature must be captured as part of one hundred percent game completion, this article assumes the conversation took place.
