"More or less. It's like the king's crown, a symbol of authority. Whoever wears it has the right to challenge other for the position of Mand'alore."
Cannon tells him.
English
-
"Ah I see. Continue, please."
-
"Alright. So, Mand'alore the Ultimate realized the Taung were not numerous to survive, so he opened the ranks to any and all who would join and follow the canons of honour, the six actions I told you about. People from every species joined him, and he organized them into the first true army in Mandalorian history. He even took on a human as his second in command, a man known as Casus Fett."
-
"Smart guy sounds like..."
-
"Yeah, and bloodthirsty. He organized the Mandalorians into a war machine, frenzied them up with promises of loot and glory, then went to war against the Galactic Republic. He almost won too, if the Jedi known as Reven hadn't stepped in."
-
"That took an unexpected twist. He sounded nice.."
-
"He believed the Mandalorians had the right to rule because we were the strongest. Reven eventually killed him and took the mask, hiding it. The Mandalorians turned to infighting and scattered."
-
"And than? What followed that?"
-
"Eventually a bigger threat showed up. A Mandalorian veteran known as Canderouse Ordo met and unknowingly befriended Revan. Eventually, Reven recruited him to help fight the Sith, and gave him the mask. At this point the Taung were extinct, but their vulture lived on. Ordo took the title of Mand'alore the Preserver and united the remaining clans."
-
"Did he do it well at the very least?"
-
"Yeah. Thanks to him the Mandalorians retook Mandalore and reunited. We helped defeat the Sith and then began to rebuild."
-
"I'm assuming you weren't just left alone."
-
"Heck no. A while later, under Mand'alore the Uniter, we had rebuilt ourselves to the point that other systems actually paid us to protect them from threats. We were on the path to becoming a superpower. Mandalore was industrialized. The warrior class lead society, with the artisans and workers supporting them in return for protections from threats. It was a bear perfect system, the clans ruling their own households while the Mand'alore kept us all in line. We were powerful."
-
"And than the empire? Or something else?"
-
"Worse. The Jedi. The Galactic Republic didn't like that we were getting stronger. So they tried to make us join them. Naturally we said no, and so they attacked us. We weren't prepared, and they glassed Mandalore from orbit. Two thirds of the planet became a toxic desert. We call it the great annihilation. They then proceeded to set up their own puppet government and import citizens from other planets to drive us out."
-
"The monsters... Bunch of a holes."
-
"That about sums it up. The clans pulled together wherever they could. We survived for the next four hundred years in the shadows. But then another crisis struck."
-
"400 hundred years? Shit... What happened?"
-
"A man named Jaster Mereel became Mand'alore. He formed a newer, more updated set of rules to regulate the Mandalorians, who were mostly working as mercs at the time since they were honeless. He created the Supercommando Codex, a set of rules that essentially forced the Mando'ade to carry themselves as honorable mercs. And a few Mandos didn't like that."
-
"Civil War?"
-
"Yeah. The great clan wars. Mereel's True Mandalorians vs the Deathwatch, under Tor Vizla. Almost every clan got pulled into it."
-
"Who prevailed?"
-
"Niether. Mereel eventually was killed in an ambush after he thought he'd won, so his second took over. A man named Jango Fett."
-
"The man who was used for the Clones right?"
-
"Yes. The guy I'm cloned from. Jango lead the True Mandalorians tl nearly destroy the Deathwatch, until Galidraan."
-
"Always with the buts..."
