Zanbar was a temperate swamp moon in the Outer Rim Territories covered with massive rocky plateaus. During the Clone Wars, the Mandalorian splinter group Death Watch established a temporary camp on its surface, which continued to be used after Death Watch allied with Maul to form the Shadow Collective.[3] Zanbar was later the site of a battle between the Shadow Collective and the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[4]
