- "There is a world on the Outer Rim surrounded by mass shadows. Past the graveyard of Mandalorian warships, this planet suffers, crushed into gravity’s fist. To walk on its surface is to feel it crushing every cell of your being. It is like being buried alive until it seems you will never breathe again. What manner of creature would have birthed such a thing? Nothing human, to be sure."
- —Kreia explains the effects of the weapon on Malachor V[src]
The Mass Shadow Generator was a superweapon utilized by the Galactic Republic during the Battle of Malachor V to defeat the Mandalorian Clans and end the Mandalorian Wars. Revan, a Jedi who led the Republic’s forces, placed his trusted Jedi General Meetra Surik in charge of activating the weapon while he fought and killed Mandalore the Ultimate. When it was activated, the weapon crushed Malachor V and destroyed most of the Mandalorian forces as well as the part of the forces of the Republic and the Jedi who followed Revan. The effects were so intense that, in order to survive the devastation, Surik severed her connection to the Force.[1]
The Mass Shadow Generator was activated by Surik again, after regaining her previously lost connection to the Force, five years later to destroy the planet and bring about the final defeat of the Sith Triumvirate.[1]
