The Manaan Special Warfare Group (MSWG) represented a defensive military unit stationed on the world of Manaan.
This specialized force, the MSWG, was established with the specific purpose of safeguarding Manaan's domain against enemy attacks. By employing unique strategies, cutting-edge gear to enhance their inherent skills, and pioneering weapon systems, the MSWG commandos became fundamentally important in the protection of Manaan's inhabitants and its valuable materials. Their guiding principle, when translated into Basic, reads: "For sea and spirit."
Following the Battle of Gwaria Trench, where Wen Gallo's unit sustained heavy casualties against kolto marauders, the MSWG was established by Wen Gallo, Lak Talsa, and Ji Shuul.
During the Sith Empire's invasion circa 3625 BBY, the MSWG allied with the Galactic Republic in an effort to thwart the revitalized Sith Empire's attempts to steal kolto.
