Ord Mantell (25th Anniversary patch)

Ord Mantell is a temperate world of plains, jungles, seas, mesas, volcanic islands and cities, home to the native Mantellian Savrip. It exports food, raw materials, technology and manufactured goods.

Ord Mantell is a star system in the 25th Anniversary patch 3.0.9770. It takes the slot that the original game gives to Hozrel XI.

History

Ord Mantell became a hideout for smugglers, bounty hunters and anyone avoiding Imperial attention. Its location close to major trade lanes made it a frequent stopover for several factions, while a growing criminal underworld sharpened its image as a lawless spaceport. As friction between the Empire and its enemies grew, skirmishes and covert operations became everyday events. Its colorful history and lively culture kept attracting a varied population, which gave the planet its distinctive character.

In the game

In the patch's default ("compatible") galaxy the system keeps its slot's sector and map position. The patch calls its sector the Mid Rim North sector; the original game calls it the Moddell sector. The patch also has an optional "accurate" galaxy that changes map positions only.
