During his time on Telos, Bao-Dur came to hate the Czerka Corporation, and when the Telosian government was ineffective at stopping their depredations, he traveled to the planet's surface to stop them himself. He worked there so that he might help to add back into the galaxy some of the life he took away at Malachor V.Ītris and her Handmaidens generally thought highly of Bao-Dur's skill with machinery and technology, with Brianna saying that his skills with shields were greater than some Echani shieldsmiths. He was in charge of the shield system that cordoned off areas on the Telosian surface and provided protection for any animals introduced there. Instead, he joined the Republic-sponsored Ithorian herd that was aiding the Restoration Project on Telos IV, a world whose surface had been obliterated by a Sith fleet during the Jedi Civil War. Originally he intended to design planetary shield generators, but most governments were unable to afford them. Īfter the war's end, Bao-Dur decided to use his mechanical genius to help people rather than design weapons.

Later years ĭuring the Jedi Civil War Bao-Dur's homeworld colony in the Mid Rim was bombed out of commission by Darth Malak. During the battle, Bao-Dur lost his arm, which he replaced with a new mechanical arm. The devastation created, as the Jedi Council perceived it, a massive wound in the Force which cast echoes throughout the galaxy.

His most infamous weapon was the Mass Shadow Generator, which he designed and built after getting a Republic military commission as a lieutenant.ĭuring the Battle of Malachor V, Surik, who later befriended Bao-Dur, gave the command to activate the weapon with a wordless nod, thereby killing almost everyone fighting in the battle above Malachor V, Mandalorian and Republic alike. He was the inventor of many new weapons, shields, and other accessories. He was the only Iridonian Zabrak who served in his unit.īao-Dur specialized as a technician during the war, eventually coming to serve under the Jedi General Meetra Surik. However, it was not because he wanted to stop the Mandalorians, but because he wished to get revenge on the beings who had slaughtered so many of his people. When Bao-Dur heard of the attacks, he leapt at the opportunity to join the war when the Republic began to fight back.

When the Mandalorian Wars began, many Iridonian colonies were attacked and destroyed first.
