Mimban/Legends

Circarpous V was the home planet of the Coway, the Mimbanites, and the extinct Thrella. The planet, locally known as Mimban, was in the Circarpous Major system.

History
During the Clone Wars, a unit of the 224th known as the Mud-Jumpers and a unit of the 44th Special Operations Division known as the Devil Dogs served on the planet and fought in the Battle of Mimban.

The Galactic Empire set up mining facilities on the planet. The planet was the location of the kaiburr crystal within the Temple of Pomojema. Lord Cronal used thaissen crystals from Mimban to make the Force detectors. The Empire also established five mining towns on the planet. Mimban was the site of the first battle between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, it was rumored that the Yuuzhan Vong Fire Breathers obtained some swamp gas from Mimban for the invasion of Gyndine.

The dangerous wandrella was a representative creature native to this planet.
