Chapter 1296: The three major factions of Mandalore
1296, the three major factions of Mandalore
The Mandalorian Excision (The Mandalorian Excision), this is the Galactic Republic’s response to the incident that occurred in 738 BBY , the name of a short, ugly, cruel war, and the word excision also describes the nature of war very accurately.
Because at this time, after thousands of years of war and continuous decline, the Mandalorians were no longer willing to be enemies of the Galactic Republic, so they did not do anything to be hostile to the Galactic Republic. behavior comes out.
The planet Mandalore is located near the Hydia Channel, which is also one of the largest hyperspace channels in the galaxy. With the re-emergence of the Mandalorians, they began to collect tolls on the portion of the Hydian Channel that was under their control.
In fact, the Galactic Republic itself is also doing this, including the later Trade Federation, which has been collecting tolls everywhere in the outer ring star area for a long time.
But the Galactic Republic, which had already made up its mind to solve the Mandalorian problem, directly used this incident as an excuse to send a fleet to launch a brazen attack on the planet Mandalore!
Firstly, the Mandalorians never thought that the Galactic Republic would suddenly declare an undeclared war. Secondly, they now have no power to resist the Galactic Republic, which has just ended the Sith War and has a strong military force. This is not a war, it can only be said to be a one-sided massacre.
The planet Mandalore suffered a brutal orbital bombardment by the Republic fleet. Most of the surface of the planet that once had a pleasant climate turned into a pale crystallized desert. The remaining Mandalorians had to huddle in a limited few areas. A residential area is struggling to survive.
After this massacre, the planet Mandalore was completely disarmed and fell under the direct occupation of the Galactic Republic for decades.
After the Mandalorian excision massacre, many Mandalorians were completely heartbroken. Although they still hated the Galactic Republic for launching the massacre for no reason, they also realized that continuing to fight with the Galactic Republic Confrontation is a hopeless and meaningless path.
Under the leadership of the Galactic Republic, which was at its peak at this time, other planets in the galaxy were becoming increasingly prosperous, and this was also seen by the Mandalorians. They began to believe that joining the ranks of the Galactic Republic and emerging with a new attitude was the path that the Mandalorians should take.
This group of Mandalorians call themselves the ‘New Mandalorians’. They abandoned the traditional martial spirit of the Mandalorians, abandoned the Mandalorians' strong armor and sharp weapons, and replaced them with the concepts of peace, neutrality, and tolerance.
They established their own settlements on the white desert. These settlements were protected by black shields and became black spots in the white desert. Their capital was also moved to the largest 'black spot', which was called Sundari.
Keldabe, the traditional capital of Mandalorian planet, was marginalized.
Sundari City refuses anyone to enter with weapons and armor, and even the security forces are only equipped with the minimum stun guns.
The concept of the New Mandalorian has become the mainstream of the Mandalorian planet. A few Mandalorians who are unwilling to give up their warrior beliefs are exiled to Concorda, the moon of the Mandalorian planet. Isolated from mainstream society.
Those Mandalorians who remain loyal to traditional Mandalorian ideals call themselves loyalists, and they call new Mandalorians unbelievers.
The government of the New Mandalorians began to re-establish contact with the Galactic Republic, and the Galactic Republic welcomed this very much. They almost respectfully invited the representatives of the New Mandalorians in The House of Representatives of the Republic passed the bill almost unanimously on this issue.
In fact, after the massacre of the Mandalorian excision, the Galactic Republic was not feeling well either. Both the Parliament and the Jedi Order have been greatly criticized, especially after Ruusan's reform and abandonment of force, such a barbaric massacre could still occur. This was a fatal blow to the reputation of the Republic and the Jedi Order.
So much so that during that period, many planets within the Galactic Republic were in danger, fearing that they would be liquidated by the Galactic Republic. For a time, the foundation of the rule of the Galactic Republic was even shaken. At this time, the emergence of the new Mandalorians was simply a life-saving straw for the Republic. They promoted the New Mandalorians as models, claiming that the democratic concept of the Republic had finally been understood, and used the New Mandalorians as models to reshape the image of democracy, freedom, and justice in the Galactic Republic.
In the next few hundred years, the New Mandalorians will represent the planet Mandalore's resumption of development as a peaceful industrial planet, relying on the Mandalorian The prestige accumulated by the Dalorians over the past thousands of years has allowed the planet Mandalore to begin to have a very strong influence in the surrounding star areas, and it has become a star area overlord.
The Mandalorian's industrial factories also extensively produce a large number of industrial products such as spaceships and hover vehicles, and have established their own brands. And these brands, without exception, are all unarmed.
The unarmed nature of the new Mandalorians has also become another widespread image besides the powerful Mandalorian mercenaries.
But at the same time, the traditional Mandalorians are still growing and growing, and the reputation of the Mandalorian mercenaries has not declined at all because of them. Following tradition, they still call their leader Mandalorian.
Until 60 BBY, a powerful leader named Jaster Mereel became the leader of the traditional Mandalorians. With his charming personality and strong execution ability, he revised the "SupercommandoCodex" and began to reform the traditional Mandalorians.
According to this reform, those traditional Mandalorians who still follow the warrior tradition should give up the war, break up into pieces, and continue to exist as high-paid mercenaries in the black market everywhere in the galaxy. , continuing his own Mandalorian heritage. This code is actually a mercenary code, which stipulates all aspects of what Mandalorians should do as super mercenaries.
However, 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.
Led by a man named Tor Vizsla, this group of Mandalorians split from the traditional Mandalorians and called themselves The Death Watch.
The Death Guard are aggressive, barbaric, and disorderly. They destroy everything they encounter. They are actually a group of despicable terrorists. They have no civilization at all, and they are not worthy to compete with Mandalore I, Mandalore the Ultimate, and Mandalorian-Invincible compared to these glorious ancestors.
Under the leadership of Just Merrell, the traditional Mandalorians also began to call themselves True Mandalorians. So a civil war began between the Death Watch and the True Mandalorians that lasted for more than ten years.
However, it is said to be a civil war. The Death Watch and the True Mandalorians actually only occupy a small part of the Mandalorian society, and the new Mandalorian government also refuses to recognize both sides.
But the New Mandalorians, True Mandalorians and Death Watch have become the three major factions of Mandalorians at present.
After Meryl died, a powerful warrior named Jango Fett took his place and became the leader of the true Mandalorians. Yes, this man was the gene provider for the clone army of the Galactic Republic later.
However, in this civil war that was originally just between two minority factions, the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order once again played an extremely disgraceful role. This was the Battle of Galidran.
It was also because of this battle that the Jedi Master who commanded this battle, Dooku, was completely disappointed in the Jedi Order. This led him to leave the Jedi Order, fall into darkness, set off the separatist movement, and finally The establishment of the Confederation of Independent Systems laid the groundwork for provoking a galactic civil war.
