History
|
| Ord Mantell was settled in circa 12,000 BBY by Corellian colonists as an advanced military outpost for the Galactic Republic. It was one of several Ordnance/Regional Depots, lending to its name. The settlers became mostly farmers, although the planet became a haven for mercenaries, exiles, murderers, smugglers and all other sorts of illegal dealers.
Over time, more wealthy planets and better hyperspace routes diminished Ord Mantell's strategic importance, and it became something of a free port for all manner of freighters and cargo ships. Despite the planet's diminishing stature, it remained a popular stop for traveling ships.

Geography
|
| Ord Mantell was known as the Heart of the Bright Jewel since it orbited the blue star Bright Jewel at the center of the Bright Jewel system. The planet was famous for its thick, outer cometary cloud, which has been the site of the Blockade Runners Derby for nearly 100 years.
Two large moons and thirteen other satellites orbited the planet (to which was added the Jubilee Wheel space station), and the cloud cover was tinged with pink when viewed from the planet's surface. These natural wonders made Ord Mantell something of a tourist attraction, despite its seedier side. It was also the homeworld of the Mantellian Savrips, whose sapience was largely unnoticed or ignored, and Mantellian flutterplumes.
Mountains were the distinct feature on Ord Mantell's terrain. Every land mass on the planet was dotted with mountain chains.
Since it was not far from the planet Ankus, which was located in an unknown system near the inner border of the Unknown Regions, Ord Mantell was presumed to be located on the outer border of Wild Space, beyond the Outer Rim.
