"From reporter Madhi Vaandt."

- Perre Needmo

Madhi Vaandt was a female Devaronian reporter active during the time following the Second Galactic Civil War. She was a freelance reporter, who occasionally did a segment for the Chevin Perre Needmo's show, The Perre Needmo Newshour. After a particularly successful show, wherein Vaandt covered the Galactic Alliance's failure to provide sufficient aid and protection to the beings of the Coruscant Underworld, Needmo decided to hire Vaandt to cover a continuous segment about the existing practices of slavery throughout the galaxy. In doing so, Vaandt came into contact with Freedom Flight, an anti-slavery organization active throughout the galaxy. While reporting on Needmo's homeworld, Vinsoth, she came to possess the Chev Shohta Laar, after Guumak lost him to her in a drinking game. She then freed Laar and hired him to work on her reporting team. Vaandt received a message from a member of the Freedom Flight, urging her to meet with him on a moon of Vartos. Despite her crew fearing that it was a trap set up by pro-slavery activists who were angry at her segment, she flew to Vantos in the Shooting Star. There, she met with Blink, a male Bothan, whom she interviewed about Freedom Flight. He revealed that the recent uprising on Klatooine was not the Freedom Flight's doing, and then tipped her off to go to Blaudu Sextus. Vaandt reported the progress of the slave revolt by the Octusi on Blaudu Sextus. While reporting the Mandalorian attack on the Octusi, she was killed by Belok Rhal.
