Manax mead

Manax mead was a type of mead that was potable by Evereni. During the conflict the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic were waging against the Nihil marauders during the High Republic Era, the Colonies planet Cato Neimoidia began to hedge its bets despite Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh's statements of a unified Republic and sent an entire cryovat of Manax mead with compliments to the Evereni man Marchion Ro, who served as Eye of the Nihil.

In 228 BBY, as Ro feasted aboard his flagship, the Gaze Electric, he mentally recalled being sent the mead by Cato Neimoidia, noting the planet had cowardly acted to win his mercy by sending the beverage. After noting he would eventually eradicate Cato Neimoidia anyway, Ro began observing the spread of the affliction known as the blight on the Mid Rim planet Kashyyyk and noticed one of his scientists—Doctor Zadina Mkampa—was there. While considering why she would be there, Ro took a deep quaff of the mead.
