The Maktite were a group of soldiers and mercenaries. They tried to defeat the Echani^[1] some time prior to 3,956 BBY;^[2] however, like other groups that followed, they were unsuccessful. They were unprepared to counter variety of military equipment developed by the Echani,^[1] who made several simple yet elegant changes to their light armor which rendered the Maktite thermal weapons ineffective.^[2]

Behind the scenesEdit

The Maktite were first mentioned in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, a computer roleplaying game produced by BioWare in 2003.
