Ma'w'shiye

"He must be brought to justice: if not for the safety of all those he endangers, then at least so that I may strip from him the lieutenant's insignia, Trand Medallion and Platinum Valor Cross I personally pinned upon his lapel."

- Airen Cracken

Behind the scenes


In most of the sources, Ma'w'shiye looks like a M'shento'su'Nikto, while in the Star Wars: Rebellion video game, his portrait correspond to a Kadas'sa'Nikto. However, the game is infamous for its graphical inaccuracy: For instance, a portrait of Bob Hudsol under the name of Vanden Willard was used.
