A Mandalorian covert was located on the space station Glavis Ringworld during the New Republic Era. After the Mandalorian covert on Nevarro was exposed and massacred by Moff Gideon's Imperial remnant, two survivors of the Tribe, the Armorer and Paz Vizsla, established the new covert. Din Djarin later joined and helped them, but was banished after he revealed that he had removed his helmet, which was against the strict rules of the Way of the Mandalore followed by the Children of the Watch. The Armorer and Vizsla later relocated to another covert.
Description[]
This Mandalorian covert was located in the lower sublevels of the space station Glavis Ringworld, near Kolzoc Alley, and was accessible through a secret door with a camouflaged mythosaur symbol on it, viewable only through a macrobinocular viewplate. Its main feature was a cryo-furnace, which was placed on an elevated platform next to a service corridor open to the vacuum of space. A cabinet of forgery tools, such as a gravity hammer and magnetic tongs, was located right next to the forge.[1]
History[]
Prelude[]
Following the exposure of the Mandalorian covert on Nevarro and the attack on the Tribe by Moff Gideon's Imperial remnant,[2] Paz Vizsla and the Armorer were able to escape and reach Glavis. They established a hiding place in the lower sublevels of the ring world, next to the heat exhaust towers. They left signs leading to their new covert along Glavis Ringworld's Kolzoc Alley that were visible to vision settings in a Mandalorian's helmet.[1]
Establishment of the Covert[]
Paz Vizsla and the Armorer were soon joined by bounty hunter Din Djarin who had discovered the location of the covert using information by Ishi Tib. Djarin was welcomed by the Armorer, and after presenting her with the Darksaber he assisted her and Paz Vizsla with the establishment of the covert, by setting up the beskar forge and the forgery cabinet. Djarin also presented to them the beskar spear he obtained by Ahsoka Tano, but was forced to melt it by the Armorer who stated that it is a dangerous weapon as it can pierce beskar armor. The spear was reforged into an armor for Grogu by Djarin's request. As she was melting the spear, the Armorer recounted to Djarin the history of the Darksaber and the Night of a Thousand Tears.[1]
Duel on the bridge[]
Following Djarin's arrival at the covert, he began training with the Darksaber, as instructed by the Armorer, in a service bridge above the vacuum of space. However, due to his struggling, he was declared unworthy of wielding it by Paz Vizsla, who soon challenged him to a duel for the saber. Din accepted the challenge, and fought Vizsla who was armed with a Personal Combat Shield and a vibroblade, and was initially disarmed, but soon gained the upper hand, and the Armorer concluded the duel over, with Djarin being the winner. However, the Armorer asked them if they removed their helmets, and Djarin admitted that he did, and was then banished as a punishment, unless he could atone in the Living Waters beneath the Mines of Mandalore, as per the Way of the Mandalore. Djarin left the covert, the Darksaber still at his possesion.[1]
Leaving the covert[]
At some point later, the Armorer and Vizsla relocated to another covert on a desert planet, where they were joined by more Mandalorians[3] from the Tribe.[4]
