Mandalorians

Location: Unknown

The Mandalorians are remembered as the Jedi killers, and renegade mercenaries; servants of the early Empire and of the Sith. If it is true, and there still exists factions of Mandalorians, they are to be considered enemies of the New Republic until proven otherwise.

Notes about Mandalorians and how we integrated it into our campaign

From what I gathered the ancient mandalorians were famed warriors and known throughout the galaxy. However, they offended the Jedi some how and the Jedi decided it was their job to make sure this race didn’t get any farther in its empire building. The Mandalorians didn’t like the deal and decided to start a nice little war also known as the CLONE WARS. It lasted for many years and the Mandalorians enlisted the Sith to help them and toward the end they began mass cloning in order to keep their armies supplemented. In the end, however, they were defeated by the Jedi and the Old Republic but not before they had severely weakened it’s control. Palpy than began his take over bid. Remember, this is most likely not Lucas Fact.

They used to ride these large lizard like beasts into battle. Can’t remember name of the animals and their armor was designed for the specific purpose of be used against Jedi.

I extrapolated on these ideas by saying that the race wasn’t wiped out by the Jedi and that a small group fled into unknown space where they reestablished their reign and began preparations for their resurgence. They formed clans much like that of BattleTech and were based around the same ideals. They training is much more developed however they are hundreds of thousands of Mandelorians where there were mere hundreds of clan members. They have a fascination with the number six and their whole military makeup is designed around it. There are six clans (storm weavers, Jedi Stalkers, …..can’t remember other four) and 6 fleets under each of those six clans and so on until you get down to the basic 6 man unit. Each ship in the fleet is built out of the infamous Mandelorian Iron and is designed to be able to accomplish any task assigned it (anything from invasion to space superiority). Ground based warfare is based around the Battlemechs, armored personnel carriers, and shock troops who all wear the armor as well. They believe in  the system of honor and only those who are honorable are given respect and curtosies (i.e. Won’t kill them or will allow them safe passage for diplomatic means).

It has been 22 years after the Fall of Endor and now they have decided they want their chunk of the galaxy back. They are organized under a new, more powerful, and organized sith and have begun a full out invasion of the New Republic, Empire, and other allies. If you would like any other info about this campaign or the ideas I have designed around the information I found. Just e-mail me with the specific question.

Clans : Storm Weavers, Light Dragons, Jedi Hunters, Shadow Stalkers, Chadar (extinct predator from Mandelorian homeworld), and Dark Stars. 

History for your time period : Clans have recently been formed and have been waring amongst each other. A key turning point is at hand. The battle of massive proportions that includes all the clans will take place on the Shadow Stalkers homeworld and will the leave the planet devastated with no gains for either side. At this point, it becomes obvious that the Mandelorians are on the verge of destroying themselves. Lord Lontek, clan leader of the Light Dragons, holds a conference will all the other clan leaders that ends with the formation of the Great Court and the Counsel of Lords in which Lontek is the Grand Clan Lord. The months that follow are shaky but they clans survive and strengthen and adjust to this new government. The counsel controls the clans and court controls judgements for arguments between clans.

Lizards : Never got their stats. However, someone on the list has them. Not sure who because it was a long time ago that he told me where to find the info. Instead, I have had the Mandelorians replace these creatures with Battlemechs that are just a little more powerful.

Major NPCS : Lord Lontek is basically it, All other NPCs in my time period are in consequential at this time.

P.s. – Two other good sources are Pegasus Base, I remember finding some info there. Can’t remember the address. Web searcher. I found two or three pages in under an hour of hunting. Although I only needed one of them because it was so good.

Here are the stats of the Mandalorian Dogra it’s a cross between a mammal and a lizard:

Mandalorian Dogras-

These mystical and mysterious creatures were the beasts of burden for the Mondalorians. They were giant, but very fast. The Mandolorians would tame these massive beasts and ride them as they traversed their planet of Mandalore and other places acros the galaxy. The skin of these creatures is amazingly thick, strong enough to withold all but the strongest of blasters. Whenever one of the Dogras would die, the Mandalores would shape its thick skin around Mandolorian ore to form their famous battle armor. Mandalore Dogras have long, strong legs that are powerful enough to allow the Dogras to sprint at least 3-4 times as fast as a human being. They have powerful jaws that are large enough to crush a human to pieces. Their heads are almost like lizards in shape, but they have a giant fur mane around their necks. It is unknown if the Dogras are mammals or reptiles, for they share the characterstics of both. They are warm-blooded, have large eyes, but their vision is limited. The dogras rely more on their sense of sound and smell to find their ways around. The dogras are suprisingly steathy for their size, for they can often sneak up very close to their prey. They are carnivores, with massive jaws and teeth, and require a lot of food to keep up their large bulk. It is believed that the Dogras could sense the Force and those strong in it. It is known that the Mandolorians rode these giant beasts as they went into battle against the Jedi. There has been no ever recorded skeleton or remains of a complete Dogra; for they hide their burial sites well. A live Dogra has not been seen by civilization since the Mandalorians faded out of existence. However; there has been rumors periodically of large beasts like these being spotted by primitive races on backwater planets. It is very possible the Mandalorian Dogras still roam backwater planets, waiting for another day.
