**Tanell Rau** was a Mandalorian Human woman during the **Imperial Era** and the **New Republic Era**. The daughter of Fenn Rau, the Protector of Concord Dawn, Tanell was born on Concord Dawn, and trained as a Mandalorian, before eventually becoming the Protector of Concord Dawn herself, and serving on the Coalition Council.

### **Early Life**

Born in 12 BBY on Concord Dawn, Tanell was trained and raised for several years by her father. At around 3 BBY, the Journeyman Protectors as well as Mandalore as a whole had begrudgingly allied with the Empire, and subsequently, Fenn Rau moved the Protectors to the third moon of Concord Dawn in order to distance any Imperial interactions with the Protectors from his daughter, and the rest of the people in the system.

### **Surviving the Empire**

After the Night of a Thousand Tears in 3 ABY, many survivors fled to the Concord Dawn system, where the Journeyman Protectors had since rebelled against the Empire, and Tanell was instrumental in helping with the establishment of camps for survivors. By 5 ABY, these camps had consolidated into a single proper town, which after the return of Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn, Tanell had taken to calling "Thrawn's Landing."

### **Heir to the Empire**

By 6 ABY, Tanell Rau had properly joined the Journeyman Protectors under her father, and fought against Imperial forces in the Concord Dawn system belonging to Grand Admiral Thrawn. Shortly after the **Battle of Onderon**, Imperial forces badgered the Mandalorians relentlessly, and a massive battle broke out, in which Fenn Rau sacrificed himself to destroy the command ship of the fleet in system.

After her father's death, Tanell assumed control of the Journeyman Protectors, and during this time, she met former ARC Trooper Tackle Box, who was looking for some of his fellow clone troopers, and opted to aid the Protectors temporarily. The Protectors continued to fight against the Empire, who occasionally raided the system. The Coalition heard of the Protectors, recommended by fellow Mandalorian Sabine Wren, who accompanied Scalpel to Concord Dawn to recruit the Protectors in their fight against Thrawn. While discussing an alliance, Imperial forces commanded by First Legion Commander Kimmund invaded, but were repelled by the Mandalorians and Scalpel, and Kimmund was captured.

### **The Coalition**

Tanell agreed to join the Coalition and serve as a part of its Council, and Tackle Box also joined the Coalition alongside a portion of the Protector forces, while the rest maintain the defense of the Concord Dawn system. Tanell Rau and her Journeyman Protectors fought in **the Battle of Nirauan**, and then returned to Concord Dawn to continue to defend those less fortunate.
