- "I don't have much information regarding the Mokk stronghold [sic] other than the fact that the Mokk are a Dantari tribe. The stronghold can be found on Dantooine around the northwestern edge of the planet. The Rebels have been known to interact with these primitives, and we believe this is where they may have planned Dr. Bledsoe's abduction."
- ―Colonel Darkstone, to a spacer
The Mokk Stronghold was a fortified Dantari settlement located in the Mosa Rishin region of the planet Dantooine during the Galactic Civil War.[1] The tribal leader of the Mokk and many other members of the tribe resided in.[3]
History[]
- "All I need to know is if some Dantari are using it. I've heard a tribe named the Mokk Dantari are using it, but I need to make sure."

Two Mokk warriors at the stronghold
During the Galactic Civil War, the Rebel Alliance interacted with the Mokk several times, presumably also including having access to the stronghold.[2] In 1 ABY,[5] the Galactic Empire suspected the Mokk Stronghold to be the location where the Rebels made their plans to abduct Doctor Bledsoe, an Imperial scientist. These details were the reason why it acted as one of three possible locations of a prison transfer log that Colonel Darkstone dispatched an Imperial unit to retrieve a prison transfer log in an attempt to rescue the doctor, the others being the Palace of the Woolamander on Yavin 4 and the Droid Engineer cave on Lok.[2]
The same year, the Rebel scout Daiv Dekven tasked a spacer with exploring the stronghold.[4] Later, a spacer visited the stronghold and collected an eventide smasher.[6]
Behind the scenes[]
The Mokk Stronghold was a location in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[7]

- ↑ According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
