During the Clone Wars, New Mandalorian Prime Minister Almec initiated a conspiracy to use the black market to smuggle supplies onto Mandalore.^[2]

Background[edit | edit source]

When the Clone Wars broke out, the New Mandalorian Government declared that their world, the Outer Rim world Mandalore, would remain neutral.^[6] Under the leadership of Duchess Satine Kryze, Mandalore became the leader of the Council of Neutral Systems.^[2] Unfortunately, Mandalore's neutrality left it isolated from both the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy. Prime Minister Almec and several of members of Mandalore's secret service contacted smugglers and established a Black Market.^[7]

Activities[edit | edit source]

Tea smuggling[edit | edit source]

Several Moogans under Tee Va bribed a Customs official to import tea. They then diluted the tea with slabin to increase their profits. The Moogans sold the tea to Siddiq's shipping company, who bribe Sundari's school superintendent to allow the tea to be served to the children. Unfortunately, the tea's slabin caused an outbreak among the school's students. Duchess Satine and Senator Padmé Amidala investigated the outbreak. Together, they were able to convince Police Captain Patrok Ru-Saxon to aid them in shutting down the Moogans' operations. After firefight, the Moogans and their compatriots were arrested and the tea was destroyed.^[2]
