The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

1296. The Three Factions of Mandalorian

The Mandalorian Excision (The Mandalorian Excision), this is the Galactic Republic's name for this short, ugly, and cruel war that took place in 738BBY. The word excision also very accurately describes the nature of the war.

Because the Mandalorians at this time, after thousands of years of wars and declining, they were no longer willing to be enemies of the Galactic Republic, so they did not take any hostile actions against the Galactic Republic.

The planet Mandalorian is located near the Hydia Channel, which is also one of the largest hyperspace channels in the Milky Way. With the re-emergence of the Mandalorians, they began to collect toll taxes on the part of the Hydia waterway that belongs to their own control area.

In fact, the Galactic Republic itself is also doing this, including the later Trade Alliance, which has been collecting tolls everywhere in the outer ring star region for a long time.

It's just that the Galactic Republic, which has made up its mind to solve the Mandalorian problem, directly used this incident as an excuse to send a fleet to attack the Mandalorian planet brazenly!

First, the Mandalorians never thought that the Galactic Republic would suddenly go to war without declaring it. Second, they have no power to resist the Galactic Republic, which has just ended the Sith War and is at its peak. This is not a war, but a one-sided massacre.

The planet Mandalorian was subjected to brutal orbital bombing by the Republic fleet, and most of the once pleasant planet's surface turned into a pale crystalline desert, and the remaining Mandalorians had to huddle in a few limited residential areas to survive.

Following this massacre, Mandalorian was completely disarmed and was under the direct occupation of the Galactic Republic for decades.

After the massacre of the Mandalorian excision, many Mandalorians were completely devastated. Although they still hated the Galactic Republic that launched the massacre for no reason, they also realized that continuing to fight with the Galactic Republic Confrontation is a hopeless, pointless path.

Under the leadership of the Galactic Republic, which was at its peak at this time, the growing prosperity of other planets in the galaxy was also seen by the Mandalorians. They began to think that joining the ranks of the Galactic Republic and appearing with a new attitude is the way they Mandalorians should take.

And this part of the Mandalorians called themselves "New Mandalorians". They abandoned the traditional martial spirit of the Mandalorians, abandoned the sturdy armor and sharp weapons of the Mandalorians, and replaced them with the concepts of peace, neutrality, and tolerance.

They built their own settlements on the white desert, and these settlements were protected with black shields, becoming black spots in the white desert. And their capital was also moved to one of the largest 'black spots', called Sundari City (Sundari).

Keldabe, the traditional capital of Mandalorian planet, is marginalized.

Sundari City refuses anyone to enter with weapons and armor, and even the security forces are only equipped with a minimum of stun guns.

The idea of ​​the New Mandalorian has become the mainstream of the planet Mandalorian, and a few Mandalorians who are unwilling to give up their belief in warriors are exiled to Concordia, a satellite of the planet Mandalorian, and are isolated from mainstream society.

Those Mandalorians who remain loyal to traditional Mandalorian ideals call themselves Loyalists, and they call New Mandalorians Nonbelievers.

The government of the New Mandalorians began to re-establish contact with the Galactic Republic, and the Galactic Republic greatly welcomed this. They almost respectfully invited the representatives of the New Mandalorians into the Republic Council, and in Almost unanimously passed on this issue.

In fact, after the massacre of Mandalorian excision, the Galactic Republic is not feeling well. Both the parliament and the Jedi Knights were greatly criticized, especially after Ruusan reformed and abandoned force, such a barbaric massacre could still occur, which was a fatal blow to the reputation of the Republic and the Jedi Knights.

So much so that during that time, everyone on many planets in the Galactic Republic was in danger, fearing that they would be liquidated by the Galactic Republic. For a while, the ruling foundation of the Galactic Republic was even shaken.

At this time, the appearance of the New Mandalorian is simply the life-saving straw of the Republic. They promoted the New Mandalorian as a model, claiming that the democratic concept of the Republic had finally been understood, and used the New Mandalorian as a model to reshape the image of democracy, freedom, and justice of the Galactic Republic.

In the next few hundred years, the New Mandalorian represents the re-development of the planet Mandalorian as a peaceful industrial planet, and relies on the prestige accumulated by the Mandalorian thousands of years ago, Let the Mandalorian planet start to have a very strong influence in the surrounding star areas, and it seems to have become a star area overlord.

The industrial factories of the Mandalorians also widely produced a large number of industrial products such as spaceships and suspension vehicles, and established their own brands. And these brands, without exception, are all unarmed.

The disarmament of the New Mandalorians has also become another widespread image alongside the mighty Mandalorian mercenaries.

But at the same time, those traditional Mandalorians are still growing, and the prestige of Mandalorian mercenaries has not dropped at all because of them. Following tradition, they still refer to their leader as Mandalorian.

Until 60BBY, ​​a powerful leader named Jaster Mereel became the leader of the traditional Mandalorians. Charismatic and powerful in execution, he revised the Supercommando Codex and began to reform the traditional Mandalorians.

According to this reform, those traditional Mandalorians who still follow the tradition of warriors should give up the war, break up into pieces, continue to exist as high-paid mercenaries, and continue to maintain their Mandalorians in the black market in every part of the galaxy. Dallo tradition. This code is actually a mercenary code, which stipulates all aspects of what Mandalorians should do when they are super mercenaries.

But this reform was opposed by another group of Mandalorians. This group of Mandalorians always believed that they should continue to wage wars like their ancestors, and eventually unify the galaxy.

This group of Mandalorians split from the traditional Mandalorians under the leadership of a man named Tor Vizsla, and they called themselves The Death Watch.

The Death Guards are full of aggressiveness, brutality, and disorder. They destroy everything they encounter. They are actually a group of low-level terrorists. Mandalorian-The Invincible compared to these glorious predecessors.

Under the leadership of Just Merrill, the traditional Mandalorian also began to claim the title of True Mandalorian. As a result, a civil war that lasted for more than ten years began between the Death Guard and the real Mandalorians.

But it is a civil war, the Death Guard and the real Mandalorians actually only occupy a small part of the Mandalorian society at present, and the new Mandalorian government also refuses to recognize these two parties.

But the New Mandalorians, the True Mandalorians, and the Death Guard have become the three major factions of the Mandalorians.

Later, after Meryl's death, a powerful warrior named Jango Fett took his place as the leader of the true Mandalorians. That's right, this person is the gene provider of the clone army of the Galactic Republic.

However, in this civil war between two minority factions, the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Knights once again played an extremely disgraceful role. This is the Battle of Galidran.

It was also because of this battle that the Jedi master who commanded this battle, Dooku, was completely disappointed with the Jedi Order. He left the Jedi Order, fell into darkness, set off a separatist movement, and finally established the Confederation of Independent Galaxies. It laid the groundwork for a galactic civil war.
