Revision as of 15:50, 22 October 2017

The Mandalorians are a species that feature in Star Wars.

History

Long ago, a Force-sensitive Mandalorian by the name of Tarre Vizsla joined the ranks of the Jedi Order. According to legend, he crafted his own Lightsaber known as the Darksaber that was a unique black-blade that became a symbol of his clan. After his death, the Darksaber was kept in the Jedi Temple where many years later it was stolen by members of House Vizsla.

In time, a faction emerged in the civilization that were known as the New Mandalorians that were led by Duchess Satine that sought peace for their people. During the Clone Wars, the Mandalorians were approached by the Galactic Republic to serve as allies against the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

In the aftermath, the Jedi appointed Bo-Katan Kryze as Regent of Mandalore where she led it following the defeat of the Death Watch. When the Galactic Empire was formed, they attempted to force Bo-Katan to submit to their control with her refusing. However, she was betrayed by members of Clan Saxon who overthrew her leading to their appointment as leaders of Mandalore. With the occupation of their homeworld, the Mandalorian Protectors moved their home to Concord Dawn but fell under Imperial rule and continued to serve the Empire loyally. A number of Mandalorian warriors pledged their loyalty to the Empire where they served as deadly and efficient enforcers that formed the Imperial Super Commandos.

Overview

Their society was divided into a number of clans that included:

• Clan Kryze :
• Clan Saxon :
• Clan Wren :

One ancient group within their civilization were the Mandalorian Protectors who were warriors that served the ruler of Mandalore. Under the New Mandalorians, the Mandalorian Guard served as the elite bodyguards to the ruler of their world. During the Clone Wars, only these royal protectors were trusted to protect the life of Duchess Satine Kryze. Though turning their back on their war-like past, some of the old traditions continued among the Mandalorian Guard.

A renegade faction included the Death Watch who believed in a return to their people's warrior roots.

Skilled Mandalorian warriors joined the ranks of the Super Commandos.

Whilst fighting the Jedi, the Mandalorians saw their use of the Force and sought to create a countermeasure with them developing the vambrace. These vambraces were equipped with various tools and weapons such as repulsors, grappling lines, paralyzing darts, shield emitters, paired blaster barrels, and flame throwers.

Mandalorians made use of Gauntlet Fighters that were sleek combat Starfighters that also served as troop transports. Their primary hull was flanked by large pivoting wings that held the vessels drives with the wings located on a collared mount allowing them to rotate independently from the main hull offering a great deal of maneverability despite their size. A Gauntlet was able to hold 24 troopers in drop-seats that could depart through jetpacks whilst the fighter itself provided air support that was done so through its two forward laser cannons whilst a pair of rearward facing cannons protected the flank of its boarding tube.
