- "Skywalker, Balmorra is the nesting ground of the giant Neebray mantas!"
- ―Plo Koon informs Skywalker of the danger
The Balmorra Run was a smugglers' hyperlane that approached the Naboo system.
History[]
The hyperlane was named for its popularity with Balmorran spacers.[3] The Kaliida Nebula was situated on it and was the nesting grounds of the neebray manta.[4] Anakin Skywalker used it as a shortcut in 21 BBY[5] to get his task force to the Malevolence. While en route to the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center, Shadow Squadron encountered the mantas, leading to the accidental damage of several fighters.[1]
