Mairan, also referred to as Bors, were a semi-sentient multi-tentacled multipod species that were native to Maires. They had the unique ability to read minds, and as a result, they were often used as a form of torture by the Galactic Empire and the Partisans.

Biology and appearanceEdit

Mairan, sometimes known as Bors,^[5] were a semi-sentient^[1] multi-tentacled multipod species hailing from Maires.^[5] They were unique for being able to read minds and erase memories.^[2] It was known for some individuals to lose their minds after having their mind plundered by a Mairan.^[3]

Mairans in the galaxyEdit

Saw Gerrera's Partisans kept a Mairan named Bor Gullet.^[3] During the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire kept three Mairans in ice, occasionally defrosting them to interrogate prisoners,^[6] with Bor Ifriem being used to interrogate Chelli Aphra in Accresker Jail.^[2] Decades later, Harra the Hutt collected a Mairan in her menagerie on the planet Vodran.^[4]

Behind the scenesEdit

Mairan first appeared in the Gareth Edwards' 2016 anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.^[3] Although the canon novel Join the Resistance: Escape from Vodran, written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, identified them as Bors,^[4] Doctor Aphra 21, a canon comic written by Simon Spurrier and penciled by Kev Walker, identified the Mairans for the first time.^[6] In Star Wars legends, the Mairan first appeared in the novel Young Jedi Knights: Lightsabers, written by Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta.^[7]
