==Description==
Meilooruns were a fruit with an orange and yellow rind. There also existed a hybrid variant that had a purple rind.Guardians of the Whills
Meilooruns were sold throughout the galaxy on planets such as Tatooine and Lothal. The fruit did not grow on Lothal, making it quite rare on the planet.
The fruit was known to be the favorite snack of rebel pilot Hera Syndulla. The clone trooper "Big-Mouth" was known to find meilooruns to eat no matter where his unit was stationed.Kanan 9
==History==
A large quantity of these fruits were once in the possession of an Imperial unit on Lothal before they were lost due to the actions of two of the Spectres, Ezra Bridger and Garazeb Orrelios.
During an attack on Imperial Troop Transports and after the Siege of Lothal, Zeb used the alias "Commander Meiloorun" for various purposes. He again used the name as a disguise to help his team escape from Inquisitors.
A box of meilooruns could be sold for 260 Galactic Credit StandardStar Wars Outlaws in 3 ABY.
During a chase in Mos Espa between Mayor Mok Shaiz's majordomo and a street gang employed by Boba Fett, the majordomo crashed his landspeeder into a cart of meilooruns, which buried his landspeeder in the fruit and ended the chase. After the Battle for Mos Espa, a small girl offered meilooruns to Boba Fett and Fennec Shand. Shand declined the offer, but Fett accepted the fruit and tossed it to Krrsantan, which he eagerly bit into.
