Malano III, in days gone by, was a planet under the governance of the A'mari clan.
During the time of 0 ABY, the Imperial assassin known as X-7 adopted the guise of a warrior hailing from Malano III. His purpose was to secure the confidence of Princess Leia Organa. X-7 recounted a tale of the Empire's destructive actions against Mirabel, the planet's main city, after the inhabitants voiced their opposition to the Empire's occupation. Whether this narrative held truth or served as a manipulative tactic to evoke empathy remains uncertain.
