Bralsin Bralsin was a small settlement on the Outer Rim world of Mandalore . Located near the Mandalorian capital city of Keldabe , Bralsin sat atop a hill at the edge of the broad and shallow Kelita valley , filled with farmland , woods , and a number of homesteads . It was the location of the memorial for the one - time " Mand ' alor " Fenn Shysa , and had been one of many battlefields where the Mandalorians clashed with the Yuuzhan Vong during their attack on Mandalore in the Yuuzhan Vong War . Description . Bralsin was a small settlement on the planet Mandalore , located so near to Mandalore ' s capital city of Keldabe , that the tower of the MandalMotors starship company could be seen from Bralsin ' s higher reaches . Situated atop a sloping hill at the edge of the broad and shallow Kelita valley , Bralsin overlooked a mass of cultivated farmland , woods , and a number of fortified homesteads . The land around it was speckled with trees and bushes , and it ' s most notable feature was perhaps the memorial for Fenn Shysa , a deceased " Mand ' alor " who had been beloved by his people . Skulls and bones of Yuuzhan Vong were often found around Bralsin , left over from the Yuuzhan Vong War . History . The small settlement of Bralsin was chosen by Boba Fett to be the location of a memorial to the dead former " Mand ' alor " , Fenn Shysa . There , on the top of a hill and in a clearing surrounded by a small number of trees , Fett laid Shysa ' s green and red - colored helmet atop an unmarked column of granite , securing it with a peg against the weather . Close to twenty years would pass before Fett again visited the site . Bralsin was a battlefield during the Yuuzhan Vong War , and it was on Bralsin ' s soft hills that the Mandalorians battled several thousand Yuuzhan Vong warriors during their attack on Mandalore . The bloodshed was so great that even decades later , skulls of dead Yuuzhan Vong would turn up littered across the landscape when it rained . In 41 ABY , Jedi Knight Jaina Solo journeyed to Mandalore to seek Boba Fett ' s training and aid in stopping her brother , Jacen Solo — by then a Sith Lord calling himself Darth Caedus . Fett would agree to help train Solo , but Fett ' s friend Goran Beviin would oftentimes take over training duties . In doing so , he brought Solo to Bralsin , near the memorial to Fenn Shysa . There , the two paid their respects , and Beviin instructed Solo in the use of a Mandalorian " beskad " saber . Over the time of Solo ' s Mandalore training , Bralsin became a meeting place between her and Fett and her and Beviin . When Solo arranged a meeting between herself and the former Jedi - turned - Mandalorian , Gotab , it was at Bralsin that they met and after a philosophical discussion between the two , Bralsin became the backdrop for a lightsaber duel between Solo and Gotab ' s Force - sensitive nephew , Venku Skirata . Behind the scenes . Bralsin was first introduced to the " Star Wars " universe in the eighth novel of the " Legacy of the Force " series . Entitled " " , the novel was author ed by Karen Traviss and published February 26 , 2008 . " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " also gave Bralsin a brief entry within its pages . Bralsin ' s name is drawn from the " Mando ' a " word " bral " , meaning " hill fort , high ground , or high defended position " .
