Melida

The Melida were a group that inhabited Melida/Daan in the Cadavine sector alongside the Daan. When the Melida took the leader of the Daan captive, a Republic senator and his eighteen year old son, Axel Greylark, embarked on a diplomatic mission with the Jedi Order to negotiate for the release of the leader. The mission however, was a trap to show all of the Daan's allies what would happen to those that helped them. During the extraction there was an explosion that buried the senator under rubble, but as the Melida were coming, a Jedi Knight pulled an injured Greylark away, forcing him to leave his father to die. In 382 BBY, Greylark told the Jedi Gella Nattai about the incident.
