Emissaries to Malastare, Part 5 is the seventeenth issue in the Star Wars: Republic series of comics. It was published on April 26, 2000 by Dark Horse Comics.

After encountering monstrous akk dogs under the command of the Red Iaro Terrorists, Mace Windu and his former Padawan Depa Billaba go in search of a smuggling ring that's transporting the animals from Mace's homeworld and turning them into savage pit-fighting beasts. But the corridors and depths of the Smuggler's Moon are havens of scum and villainy--no place for Jedi!
