Chapter 1297 Grand Duchess Satine
1297, Grand Duchess Satine
The Battle of Galidran represents the fall of the Jedi Order from its transcendent status as guardians of the galaxy to the status of the Galactic Republic. a turning point as a political tool. This battle took place in 44BBY, which was 12 years before the Battle of the Planet Naboo, or 9 years before Tang Xiao traveled to this world.
The process of this battle is actually very simple - within the sphere of influence controlled by the Mandalorians, the governor of the planet Galidlan has actually been secretly shielding and supporting the Death Watch, and at this time the real Mandalorian The civil war between the humans and the Death Guard has intensified. The unjust and helpless Death Guard are retreating steadily and are no longer able to withstand the attack of the true Mandalorians.
So the governor of the planet Galederan planned a conspiracy, and this conspiracy also involved the Jedi Order.
In fact, in this civil war between the real Mandalorians and the Death Guards, the Death Guards have strong Beskar steel armor, as do the real Mandalorians; the Death Guards have superb combat skills and experienced battles. Warriors, true Mandalorians also have them; however, as the inheritors of the Mandalorian tradition, their glory and inheritance have received widespread support, while the Death Guards, who only know how to smash, loot, kill and set fire, do not. Any support.
So this civil war was supposed to end with the Death Guard being expelled and eliminated, and the real Mandalorians almost did it. They had pushed the Death Guard to a desperate situation, but something happened. change.
The governor of the planet Galederan first claimed that a rebellion broke out in his territory, hoping that the True Mandalorians would come to solve it, so Jango Fett led the elite of the True Mandalorians Go and suppress this rebellion.
This is a planet-level commission. The originally small number of True Mandalorians naturally came out in full force, and Jango Fett also believed that such a commission could be completed. For True Mandalorians People are a great help in promoting and publicizing the new Mandalorians.
The rebellion does exist. While Jango Fett led the real Mandalorian warriors to clean up these rebels, the Governor of the planet Galederan ran to tell the Jedi Order that there was a Mandalorian warrior. The Dalorians are murdering their 'political activists' on his planet.
The Jedi Order received wrong intelligence, and because the Galactic Republic Council has always taken political issues in the Mandalore region very seriously, the Council also put tremendous pressure on the Jedi Order.
The corruption and bribery issues that have arisen in the Intermediate Council are unclear. In short, the result is that the Jedi Order sent Master Dooku to lead a task force without careful investigation. Go and deal with the Mandalorians who are murdering 'political activists'.
Master Dooku led the task force to the planet Galederan. At this moment, the only one on the planet wearing Mandalorian armor and fighting with incomparable bravery was the true warrior led by Jango Fett. Mandalorian mercenaries.
The Jedi Order believes that these real Mandalorians are the Death Guards who spread terror and death everywhere, because in the eyes of outsiders who do not know the inside story, there is actually no difference between the two - in fact, this This matter must be attributed to the great Mandalorian strategist Cassus Fett four thousand years ago. He unified the armor format of the Mandalorian Crusaders, making the armor of most Mandalorian warriors look... It's almost as good as it sounds.
So, Jango Fett was tricked by his ancestor to some extent?
There was a confrontation between the True Mandalorian mercenary warriors led by Jango Fett and the Jedi Order task force led by Master Dooku. During the confrontation, Governor Galederan and the Galactic Council continued to exert pressure on Master Dooku. The then Speaker Finis Valorum also described the incident as a very serious incident in the communication. He demanded that Dooku Master Ku must solve the Mandalorian problem 'quickly and decisively' to avoid history repeating itself.
So Master Dooku asked Jango Fett and others to put down their weapons and accept investigation.
The proud true Mandalorians were naturally unwilling, so the confrontation between the two sides quickly evolved into an armed conflict.
A battle broke out between hundreds of true Mandalorian warriors and dozens of Jedi warriors wearing Beskar steel armor that was not afraid of lightsabers and armed with advanced weapons.
The true Mandalorian warriors have shown their powerful combat effectiveness. Under the protection of Beskar steel armor, their combat skills are difficult to counter even those Jedi Knights with Force precognition.
The scale of the battle between the two sides was small, but it was very tragic. In the end, all the true Mandalorian warriors who participated in the battle were killed, and only Jango Fett survived and was captured by Master Dooku. The Jedi also paid a heavy price. More than half of the Jedi who participated in the war died here, and most of the remaining Jedi suffered from mental problems.
Why? Because in the Jedi Order's creed at this time, many times they are not allowed to kill each other at will. The matter of killing is a very serious matter for many peaceful Jedi who use the light side force. Moreover, when had they, living in the ivory tower, ever seen such a powerful and fierce warrior as the real Mandalorian?
That’s not all, the worst thing about the situation is that this battle took place in the urban area of the planet Galidlan! It is equivalent to happening in full view of countless civilians! In the eyes of the new Mandalorian civilians, this was the Jedi Order attacking and killing a group of Mandalorian mercenaries in broad daylight!
After the battle, Master Dooku was forced to hand over the captured Jango Fett to the Governor of the planet Galidran under pressure from the Council. And the governor who secretly communicated with the Death Guard sold Jango Fett as a slave.
Although Jango Fett later escaped and killed Thor Vizsla, the leader of the Death Watch, the True Mandalorians were inevitably disbanded.
This incident made the person involved, Master Dooku, feel very guilty because he not only mistakenly killed those real Mandalorians who were just carrying out normal mercenary activities, but also lost dozens of Jedi. Samurai, even those who survived, were too traumatized to return to battle.
His valued disciple Komari Vosa also disappeared during the battle. It was not until more than 20 years later that she was captured and became the high priest of the terrorist organization Bando-Gosa.
In this matter, the Jedi Order's hasty handling of the matter, as well as the Jedi Council's compromise with the Galactic Council, made Master Dooku's handling of the Jedi Order, Master Windu and Master Yoda very special. Disillusioned, he left the Jedi Order after more than a decade.
For the Galactic Republic, they regarded this battle as a major victory against the Mandalorian militarism (JG idea). They don't care whether the dead person is a real Mandalorian or a Death Guard. Even if a few Jedi Knights die, they don't care. What they care about is only the power and interests in their hands.
The then Speaker Finis Valorum was still talking about this incident, so much so that when riots broke out between the Injori and the Cali people, he asked the Parliament and the Jedi Order to refer to this Galid Long battle approach to the problem.
The result was the tragedy of the Kali people being turned upside down by the parliament, and the inability to end the Incholi riot.
So Finis Valorum was later ousted by Sheev Palpatine's conspiracy, and it was not entirely because Palpatine was plotting behind the scenes. Many things were actually caused by Finis Valorum. His own stupidity and incompetence dug a hole for himself.
After the Battle of Galederan, the True Mandalorians disbanded. Although the Death Watch leader Thor Vizsla was also killed, they are still active.
By the way, those tin cans in the series "The Mandalorian" are the remnants of the real Mandalorian.
So the Death Watch finally set their sights on the current rulers of the Mandalorian world - the New Mandalorians.
They launched a series of terrorist attacks against the New Mandalorians in an attempt to overthrow their rule. But at this time, the leader of the new Mandalorians, the Grand Duchess Satine Kryze, came to power.
Satin quickly displayed her outstanding political talents. Together with the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, she defeated many Death Watch plots and consolidated her dominance. Then they united many factions among the New Mandalorians and strengthened the originally somewhat scattered New Mandalorian political system, thus forming a powerful political and military force.
So under the ubiquitous siege of the New Mandalorians, the Death Watch was finally destroyed. Their remaining forces could only linger like rats on the street, and the Grand Duchess Satine became The world of Mandalore has a more powerful leader than ever before.
During this process, she had an ambiguous relationship with Obi-Wan Kenobi, which I won’t go into details about.
In short, from this time until the outbreak of the Clone Wars, this was the situation on the planet Mandalore.
The New Mandalorians rule the world of Mandalore under the leadership of Grand Duke Satine. The Death Watch is ready to move in the shadows and wants to resurrect. The only remaining true Mandalorians are scattered across the galaxy. Everywhere, according to the "Super Commando Code", the former glory and dignity of the Mandalorian continues in the realm of mercenaries and bounty hunters.
Then... the change finally came!
