"It's an old smuggler's route. The pilots used to talk about it on Tatooine."
―Anakin Skywalker, on the Balmorra Run[2]

The Balmorra Run was an old smuggler's route that ran through the hazardous Kaliida Nebula, which posed dangers to travelers due to the giant space-dwelling neebray mantas that nested there. Anakin Skywalker and his Shadow Squadron took the route as a shortcut to intercept the Separatist cruiser Malevolence under the command of General Grievous before it could attack the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center during the Clone Wars.[2]

While traveling on the route, the group unexpectedly encountered the Neebray mantas nested there. Matchstick's bomber sustained a minor chip after running into a manta and it later caused his bomber to explode when evading the Malevolence's ion cannon.[2]
