Keldabe was the capital city of the planet Mandalore, forty-five degrees north of the equator along the Kelita River. The city's name itself is plural form of Mandalorian word "keldab", meaning "stronghold". Keldabe was where the MandalMotors facilities were located. The Keldabe-class battleship was named after the city. Boba Fett was the head of state of Keldabe in 25 ABY.
The Kelita River was a river in Mandalore's northern hemisphere. Keldabe was built along its banks, standing on a bend of the river, a defiant flat-topped hill glittering with granite. Its course was visible for kilometers after the attack by the Yuuzhan Vong on Mandalore flattened the woodland surrounding it. In a water meadow adjacent to the river, a mass grave lied with Mandalorians that died defending the planet from the Yuuzhan Vong. This area was free of poisons due to the fast movement of the water in the meadow.
