"Welcome to Bogden Three. I am Master Du Mahn, and this is the Soaring Hawkbat Clan."
―Mahn welcomes Jedi Masters K'Kruhk and Sian Jeisel[src]

Du Mahn was a female Human Jedi Master who served the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic during the final decades of the Republic Classic era. Assigned to the Order's training facility on Bogden 3 during the Clone Wars, Master Mahn looked after the group of Jedi younglings known as the Hawkbat Clan there. When fellow Jedi K'Kruhk and Sian Jeisel landed on the orbital along with their clone troopers, Mahn offered them food and shelter at the training facility. She was killed in front of her students by those same clone troopers during the initial execution of Contingency Order 66.

Biography

"Can you tell me what's going on with the war, Master Jeisel? We were due back at the temple several days ago—but after the attack on Coruscant, Master Yoda asked us to remain her until he was certain it was safe…"
―Mahn explains the clans situation to Jeisel[src]

A Force-sensitive female Human, Du Mahn was trained in the ways of the Force and eventually attained the rank of Jedi Master amongst the Jedi Order. Wielding a green-bladed lightsaber, she was appointed as a Jedi instructor at the planet of Coruscant's Jedi Temple and oversaw the rearing of the Order's youngest Initiates. When the Clone Wars erupted between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Master Mahn was assigned to protect the Hawkbat Clan. By 19 BBY, Mahn and her charges, along with a Padawan named Chase Piru, had been stationed on the orbital Bogden 3, where they lived in the training facility built there.[1]

Du Mahn dies during Order 66.

Prior to the Battle of Coruscant, Mahn was informed that she and the clan would soon be transported back to the Jedi Temple on the Galactic capital. The conflict there delayed their return, however, and Grand Master Yoda asked that they remain on Bogden 3 until he was certain it was safe for them to return. Several days after the clan was due at the temple, Master Mahn and her charges graciously welcomed Masters K'Kruhk and Sian Jeisel when they arrived on orbital to make repairs to their ship. Entertaining the Jedi Generals and their clone troopers, Master Mahn and the Hawkbats threw a large feast in welcome of their comrades. As the feast concluded however, the clone troopers that had accompanied the Generals to the world received Contingency Order 66 from the Office of the Supreme Chancellor.[1]

The order instructed the clones to open fire on all Jedi, stating that they had betrayed the Republic. As the clones dutifully took aim at the younglings, the Jedi Masters sprang into action. Master Mahn urged her students to flee, deflecting all incoming fire as K'kruhk, Jeisel, and Piru defended the younglings. Master Mahn Force pushed several troopers away as she attempted to cover the Initiates, but was shot in the back by a trooper she had knocked down, dying amidst the Hawkbats. Despite her death and that of Jeisel, K'Kruhk and Piru successfully evacuated many of the students, flying them offworld.[1]

Personality and traits

Swdt6p2 edited

Du Mahn cared for the Hawkbat clan of Jedi younglings.

"Being aware of your fear is the first step to conquering it."
―A phrase Mahn would often tell Piru[src]

Master Mahn was a fair skinned Human female with blue eyes. She believed that to conquer fear one must first be aware of it, a lesson she would often repeat to her college Piru. Isolated on Bogden 3 during the Clone Wars, she worried about what was happening elsewhere in the galaxy but offered meals and rest to any other Jedi who visited, telling her students, who she described as soaring, to throw a feast when K'Kruhk and Jiesel arrived at the end of the war. During Order 66 she defended the younglings to the best of her ability, giving her life in the process and urging the clan to flee with her dying breath.[1]
