Telerath

"You'd think someone with his rep could actually show up on…time."

―Rinn, waiting for Jango Fett to arrive on Telerath^[5]

Telerath was a planet located in the Nouane sector of the Inner Rim. It was allegedly a resort world but had problems with gang violence. Disputes on Telerath were settled through sword combat, in a convention known as Sword Law. In 23 BBY, the bounty hunter Jango Fett and his son, Boba, met with fellow hunters Neelda, Rinn, and Tiver, who Fett had hired for an upcoming mission, in a cantina on Telerath.

History

"Jango Fett himself. It's a real honor. I'm Neelda. This is Tiver and Rinn. Worked with them before. Good people to have at your back."

During the time of the Galactic Empire, a group of individuals visited the island resort of Manala on Telerath in search of the infamous judge Mazzum Onas, seeking information on a rumored combat tournament to be held in the Nouane sector. However, while attempting to find Onas, the group ran afoul of a number of local gangs and was arrested after becoming involved in a brawl. Onas was placed in charge of the group's case, and the individuals managed to succeed in beating the judge in combat, securing an invitation to the tournament.^[2]

Inhabitants

While Telerath was supposedly a resort world, its inhabitants had problems with gang violence, and a number of local gangs moved enslaved individuals and spice on the planet. The citizens of Telerath settled all disputes, both public and private, through a convention known locally as Sword Law, which involved sword duels. Mazzum Onas was Telerath's most infamous judge, and resided within the island resort of Manala. Known for his skills in blade combat, Onas was often placed against criminals who the government wished to lose their trials.^[2]
