Tainted Lands

Tainted Lands (Bica'rusur) was an expansive region on Mandalore, covering up to 30% of land surface, that was laden with radiation as a result of nuclear bombardment by Republic forces during the Excision. Only few plants, insects, gastropods, and rodents adapted to the toxic environment. Some Human settlements were found along the area's outskirts, where radiation was present but not in toxic amounts. Over the centuries, the New Mandalorian government made several failed attempts to cleanse the radiation using imported technology.

During the New Republic era, the Mandalorian Hazmat Force (Pavar'aran, "hazard guard"), part of the Mandalorian Confederation, served as law enforcement throughout the area's outskirts and gathered ancient artifacts throughout the poisoned land.
