The clash known as the Battle of Maraken occurred at the location of Maraken in the initial period of the Galactic Empire's rule. In this battle, the Imperial officer named Visler Korda suffered the loss of his lower mandible due to an encounter with a combat droid; however, he managed to eliminate the droid in retaliation. As a result of this injury, he received a cybernetic replacement jaw, notable for its sharp metallic teeth.
The young adult novel Adventures in Wild Space: The Snare, penned by Cavan Scott, makes reference to the Battle of Maraken.
The writer clarified that the battle transpired not during the Clone Wars, but in the early years of the Empire's existence.
