Mol Ni'mai

"You believe you have learned all there is to know about being an armorsmith? You haven't! I know far more than you ever will, but still there are a few lessons I could teach you."

- Mol Ni'mai

Mol Ni'mai was a male Bothan master armorsmith who designed the Reinforced Insulated Sheath armor. He lived in a hut in the northern mountains of the planet Dantooine during the Galactic Civil War in 1.5 ABY. He was visited by a spacer, who was also a armorsmith, during this time who wished to learn the secret of crafting the R.I.S armor. Mol demanded 50,000 credits from the spacer before he would even begin instructing them. The spacer paid the fee, and Mol began by instructing them in the creation of the armor segment, which provided the armor its protection. The armor segment required bones from a woolamander harrower for strength, the hide of a gurk king for flexibility, and for inner protection and warmth, the scales of a great dune kimogila. The armor's appearance layer was next, and required the feathers of a peko-peko albatross. Once Mol was satisfied that his student had learned the basics of the armor's construction, he told them to craft a complete pair of the R.I.S boots, which the spacer was successful in doing. Mol was pleased, and rewarded his student with the schematics for the remainder of the R.I.S armor pieces.

Behind the scenes
Mol Ni'mai is a character in the 2003 massively-multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided. He, the quest to learn the armor's construction, and the armor itself, were added to the game in 2004. The player, the aforementioned spacer, must be a master armorsmith before starting his quest.
