Mairan

"Bor Gullet will know the truth. He will tease it from you, inch by inch, until nothing is hidden. Everything laid bare under his touch. He will penetrate your body to know your mind. I am sorry, Jyn. Bor Gullet does what must be done to win the day."

- Saw Gerrera, to Jyn Erso

The Mairan, also known as a Bor, was a species of tentacled cephalopod capable of probing the minds of other beings. Bor Gullet, a tamed Bor kept by Saw Gerrera on Jedha, used its tentacles to probe Jyn Erso's mind and defile her body during a penetrative interrogation, and Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra was later defiled by Bor Ifriem on Accresker Jail.

Biology and appearance
The Mairan Bor was a non-sentient multipod species native to the planet Maires in the Transitory Mists of the Hapes Cluster. These cephalopods were large, fleshy creatures with multiple ribbed tentacles protruding from their brown bulk. Hairless, the creatures had a smooth head with two blue, pupil-less eyes, and used a slithery, slug-like foot for locomotion.

As an empathic species, Bors could probe minds, pressing two thin tendrils to a being's temples and generating a blue glow from the tentacle tips. Those who received this treatment without consent could be left catatonic. The creatures also used their thick tentacles to sexually penetrate partners, wrapping their tentacles around their mate and leaving them coated in slime.

Behavior
Bors lived in underwater communities on their homeworld of Maires. Some members of the species found their way to other planets of the galaxy, including Jedha. They were empathic, and could read minds and discern the truth behind falsehoods with a telepathic ability similar to that of the Iktotchi, Lamproids, and Umbarans. However, Mairans could also erase memories and engender madness and catatonic effects in victims, sharing the latter quality with the sarlacc.

History
Some Mairan Bors were used as living torture devices capable of reading minds, altering memories, and leaving victims catatonic. They inspired the Nurian synthsmiths in their creation of the Kajiit, a bio-technological torture rack that left victims malleable after hours of defilement.

Saw Gerrera kept a tamed Mairan Bor, known as Bor Gullet, in the Catacombs of Caldera on Jedha, and used the creature to extract information from Bodhi Rook, leaving him mentally confused. Bor Gullet was later used to sexually interrogate Jyn Erso, wrapping her in its tentacles as it probed her mind. She was left catatonic after a long period of mind-rape and being filled by its tendrils. Jyn endured the intense interrogation, and Saw's opinion of her shifted enough to help her escape the destruction of Jedha City.

Three Mairan specimens were acquired by the Galactic Empire for use in interrogating members of the Rebel Alliance. Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra was subjected to Bor Ifriem's defilement at Accresker Jail in order to obtain vital information from her mind, though she kept her darkest secret about Darth Vader's plan to overthrow Emperor Sheev Palpatine. Aphra later used Bor Ifriem to alter the memories of her lover, Magna Tolvan, to remain safe from Vader's wrath.
