Gustav Zenlav

Gustav Zenlav was a male Mandalorian soldier, who lived several centuries prior to the Galactic Civil War. A renowned Mandalorian shocktrooper, Zenlav served as a general in the Mandalorian army for a time, and later contracted out his services as a mercenary. He became well known for his innovative weapon and armor designs, including the powerful and deadly Wing-Blast rocket pack. However, Zenlav ultimately abandoned the rocket pack after realizing that his plans called for the use of an untested photonic beam, leaving the weapons platform unfinished for hundreds of years.

Zenlav was also the man historically reputed to be responsible for the founding of the MandalMotors company, a corporation famous for its vehicle designs. Headquartered in Keldabe, the capital city of Mandalore, MandalMotors became a driving force in Mandalore's economy, developing an outstanding reputation as a starship manufacturer. Zenlav's brainchild remained in business on the Outer Rim world for centuries, producing advanced starship models well into 41 ABY.
