"If our leaders will not make them obey our laws, we must!"

- Mazara, to the citizens of Falleen

Biography
In 24 BBY a female Falleen named Mazara worked on the planet Falleen as a journalist. During Mazara's work as a journalist, she wrote an article exposing the Blackwater Systems corporation for breaking many of Falleen's laws. This article was published against the wishes of her editors, and after its publication they forced her to leave her job. Mazara then became the leader of a rebel group of Falleen attempting to stop large corporations from polluting their homeworld while protesting the terrible conditions that workers endured due to the overdevelopment of the city. She was targeted for assassination by Blackwater Systems for leading protests against their business practices and planning to break into their factory to steal information on the products they produced and the illegal experiments being performed in the wing of the facility.

In 24 BBY, the Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi, and their apprentices Anakin Skywalker and Ferus Olin saved her from an assassination attempt after a failed protest in the Yellow District of Falleen. During their search for the criminal Granta Omega, the man who had murdered Jedi Master Yaddle and financed the creation of the Zone of Self-Containment drug she assisted them by sharing what she knew about Blackwater Systems and its connections to Omega and role in producing the Zone of Self-Containment. She also provided the Jedi with the name of an employment officer, Wanuri, who could give them access to the facility so that they could further investigate for signs of Granta Omega and the Zone of Self-Containment.
