Enceri Enceri was a remote town on the Outer Rim world of Mandalore . A small and relatively unimportant town compared to the likes of Mandalore ' s capital , Keldabe , Enceri was mainly a trading post and served as the nearest supply settlement to Kyrimorut , a refuge for clone deserters from the Galactic Republic ' s Grand Army and the home of the Mandalorian Skirata clan . Enceri managed to avoid the Imperial presence suffered by much of Mandalore during the Empire ' s reign , and in the year 40 ABY , a lode of " beskar " metal ore was found just north of Enceri , spawning an economical period of growth for Mandalore . Description . Enceri was a small , remote town , even by Mandalore ' s standards , and not nearly as large as Mandalore ' s capital , Keldabe , or the New Mandalorians ' capital city , Sundari . Still , to those living in and around Enceri , the town proved a valuable trading post in the northern regions of the planet . Most of the Enceri ' s residents spoke the Mandalorian language " Mando ' a " , and the small town had adapted a market day held in its sizable marketplace , where five - liter containers of the alcoholic beverage " tihaar " could be purchased ; steady rain was known to regularly turn the marketplace into a soaking quagmire . A grain silo stood as a landmark on the edge of the town , and Enceri was also home to a cantina which served pint s of the Mandalorian alcoholic beverage , " ne ' tra gal " , along with bowls of " gi " dumpling or red gourd soup . History . Located in the northern regions of the planet Mandalore , Enceri was a trading post that grew into a small town over time . Considered a backwater settlement by most , Enceri was nonetheless a place of commerce and a gathering place for nearby Mandalorians . In the year 20 BBY — nine hundred and seventy - three days after the Battle of Geonosis and the start of the galaxy - spanning Clone Wars — the former clone commando , Fi Skirata , ventured into Enceri to meet with his girlfriend , Parja Bralor . The two also met the future " Mand ' alor " , Fenn Shysa , in an Enceri cantina during their visit . Around this time , several other members of Fi ' s clan traveled to Enceri from their nearby home , Kyrimorut , in order to gather supplies and information . Enceri ' s small size and remote nature shielded it from the Imperial presence suffered by much of Mandalore during the Galactic Empire ' s reign , as it was overlooked by the occupation force . In the year 40 ABY , Enceri ' s relative unimportance came to an abrupt end . In the wake of the ravages the Yuuzhan Vong inflicted upon Mandalore during the Yuuzhan Vong War , then " Mand ' alor " Boba Fett called for two million Mandalorians living throughout the galaxy to make a return to Mandalore in order to aid in its reconstruction . While entering Mandalore ' s orbit , a Mandalorian minerals engineer and geologist performed a number of scans which they compared to older geological charts . Upon taking a closer inspection on their downward approach , the two discovered an untapped vein of " beskar " iron ore , which had been untouched by the Galactic Empire ' s strip - mining operations and exposed by the Vong ' s singularity ordnance strikes . Mining was soon underway near Enceri ' s outskirts , headed by site foreman Herik Vorad , and the lode of " beskar " drawn from the new mines pushed Mandalore into a period of economic growth . Behind the scenes . Enceri was first introduced to " Star Wars " canon via a mention in the 2007 novel , " " , by author Karen Traviss . Traviss would later fully feature Enceri as a location in her fourth entry of the " Republic Commando " series of novels , " " . Enceri was again mentioned in the sequel to " Order 66 " , " " . The 2008 reference book , " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , gave Enceri a brief informational entry .
