 Expelled from his homeworld of Ithor after he was forced to make
an excruciatingly difficult decision, Nadon became an underground Alliance agent before
finally returning to his paradise home. Momaw Nadon belongs to a species of peaceful
farmers and artisans sometimes called Hammerheads because of their S-curved necks
and T-shaped anvillike heads. He had been high priest, or Herd Leader, of the Tafanda Bay,
one of the huge airfloating cities on which most Ithorians live. The Empire's Captain Alima
demanded Ithor's agriculture secrets, long guarded for religious and other reasons, and issued
an ultimatum: either the secrets were to be turned over or Imperials would begin destroying
the Tafanda Bay. Seeing little option, Nadon turned over the data. He was then put on trial by
outraged Ithorians and exiled for at least three standard years, forced to abandon his wife,
Fandomar, and the rest of his family. Nadon ended up on Tatooine and helped create new forms of plant life on the arid planet. He also used his house to shelter Rebel fugitives and to provide information to the Alliance. Although he had the opportunity to kill the Imperial commander who made him turn over the agriculture secrets, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Instead, he hatched a plan to make the officer seem like a traitor, and the Imperial was shot by his own superiors. Following the Battle of Endor, Nadon returned to Ithor and was able to convince the planet's Elders to let him remain and to support the New Republic. |
