As part of his accounting of recent events in the galaxy’s timeline, Master Gnost-Dural, Keeper of the Jedi Archives, has entered a new holorecord on the subject of the Mandalorian Blockade.
BTC 7 – A Mandalorian blockade is positioned along the Republics primary trade route resulting in famine and unrest amongst the colonies. A daring smuggler known as Hylo Visz attempts the unthinkable, to take down the intimidating fleet of Mandalorian ships and deliver the much needed goods to the people of Coruscant.

”
After the sacking of Coruscant, the Jedi Council agreed that the Republic had been undone by the bold cunning of the Empire’s strategy. A closer look however suggests the sacking of Coruscant was not the crowning moment of the Empire’s campaign, but rather a risky maneuver undertaken after all other efforts had failed. The sith only considered turning to such measures after their efforts were undermined by an unlikely Republic ally. The criminal smuggling contingent that broke the Mandalorian blockade.
The blockade choked the primary trade route for providing Republic military support to the outer rim and the main hyperlane for bringing raw goods from the colonies to the core worlds. Longstanding holdouts in the outer rim began folding to the Empire and critical supplies vanished from the core worlds almost overnight. As starvation swept through the lower levels of Coruscant, riots broke out planet-wide. Talk in the senate veered sharply toward complete surrender to the Sith Empire.
It was at this critical hour that a mirialin smuggler named Hylo Visz recognized an extraordinary business opportunity for her and her partners. With the Republic willing to pay any price for raw goods, Hylo’s plan was simple: Break the Mandalorian blockade. Loading massive freighters with all the goods the outer rim had to offer, Hylo and her fellow smugglers hauled their loads to within a parsec of the blockade and stopped still. Distracted by suspicious freighters, the Mandalorians never knew what hit them.
A motley fleet of small starships dropped out of hyperspace and opened fire. A massive space-battle ensued. The smugglers’ light freighters ran rings around the Mandalorian cruisers, but even so, Hylo Visz and her band were outmatched. Fortunately, Republic Strategic Information Systems was tipped off and starfighters were scrambled from nearby systems. With their assistance, the Mandalorians were quickly overcome.
The blockade broken, Hylo Visz brought freighters full of raw goods into Coruscant and walked away with more wealth than she had ever imagined. An elaborate medal ceremony was held in her honor, but Hylo never showed. She was long gone. Rumor has it Hylo Visz was killed a year later for double-crossing the hutts. Regardless, through this unlikely hero’s efforts, the Republic war effort gained a reprieve.
At the time many believed the Empire was behind the Mandalorian blockade. My research indicates a far more elaborate explanation. I will share that in my next report.”
