	'''Manaan''' is a ] in the ] universe. It was last seen in the ] ] '']'' as well as originally appearing in the ] video game ]. The planet is completely covered in water, except for ], a large city made by the ], the native species on Manaan.

	It was once the galaxy's most important planet besides Coruscant for being the sole planet where ], a plant with natural healing properties, can be grown. Kolto harvesting and shipping is the planet's central industry. The Selkath exploit this resource financially selling it to both the ] Empire and the ] and have threatened to destroy the source of kolto should either party attack them.

	The planet features an oceanic ] course, several hotels and cantinas, both Sith and Republic embassies. It also has an underwater research station that is attacked by a giant firaxan shark that is defending the kolto and its young. It was once a member world of the ], and concealed a ] ] in its watery depths.

	During the ], ] arrived at Manaan to find a ] hidden at the ocean floor deep under Ahto City. However, in order to reach it, the player (Revan) must either poison the giant firaxa, or destroy the ] secretly built by the Republic to harvest kolto near its source. If the player chooses to poison the shark, he/she is banished from Manaan forever (''unless the player quickly, through dialogue options, blackmails the Manaan court, thus allowing him to stay in Manaan for the price of his silence''), because the shark is believed to be the Progenitor, the kolto's keeper and source. So, kolto is no longer available, which causes the prices of healing supplies throughout the galaxy to rise.

	However, the sequel, '']'', assumes that kolto is still available throughout the galaxy and kolto is mentioned by a Thyferran ] representative as a major competitor to the bacta healing product in ], leading to the conclusion that Revan did not destroy its source.

	In ] Empire at war, forces of corruption, Manaan can be taken over by the Zann Consorstion, the Empire, or the Rebellion. It is stated that it still has kolto as a main resource.

	During the time of the ], Manaan was occupied for supporting the ] by distributing kolto to known Rebel links. They were enslaved and forced to harvest kolto for the Empire. After a nearly successful bloody rebellion, ] realized that there may be ] Selkath living amongst their brethren. He assigned ], his apprentice, to destroy the Force sensitive Order of Shasa. In the game ''Knights Of the Old Republic'', the player meets a ] young Selkath named Shasa, who is either redeemed by ] or slaughtered depending on the player's actions. It is assumed that the order was named for her.

	After the ] the Empire left Manaan. Manaan later joined the ], and produced many Jedi knights from the Order of Shasa, which survived Vader's attack. Kolto was, again, spread throught the galaxy.
