The Ord Mantell Crisis was a diplomatic and military crisis that arose when a ragtag army of pirates and mercenaries began to raid the Galactic Republic member world of Ord Mantell. The Galactic Senate and the Jedi Order were slow to react to the crisis, and within just a few standard months the pirates and mercenaries had captured Worlport, the world's capital. At this, the Republic and the Jedi took action, and a Jedi-led operation commanded by Jedi Lord Galant Farfalla and Jedi Master Skere Kaan succeeded in first infiltrating and then bringing down the pirate army.
