Olankur


Olankur, situated in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy, was a region found on the planet Mandalore, the cultural homeworld of the Mandalorians. It rested on the southwest coast of Mandalore's northern continent, quite far from Keldabe, the planet's capital city. Similar to much of Mandalore's northern half, Olankur was filled with numerous veshok trees.

In Olankur, a hunting lodge was constructed, but it was eventually deserted before 19 BBY. During that year, Mand'alor Fenn Shysa convened with Kal Skirata, a Mandalorian soldier, at the Olankur lodge to deliberate on matters concerning Mandalore's destiny.

Behind the scenes

The 2009 novel Imperial Commando: 501st by Karen Traviss, an author, marked the initial appearance of the Olankur region in Star Wars canon.

The name Olankur seems to originate from the Mando'a language; it possibly combines olan, which translates to "hundred", with kurshi, meaning "tree".
