Chapter 1,296 The Three Major Factions of Mandalore
1296, the three major factions of Mandalore
The Mandalorian Ex (The Mandalorian Ex) is the Galactic Republic’s name for this short, ugly, and cruel war that took place in 738 BBY. The word Excision also describes the nature of the 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 take any hostile actions against the Galactic Republic.
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 control the area on the Hydia Channel.
A toll tax is levied on that section of the sector.
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.
It's just that 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. This cannot be regarded as a war, it can only be said that
It was a one-sided massacre.
The planet Mandalore suffered a brutal orbital bombardment by the Republic fleet. Most of the planet's surface, which once had a pleasant climate, turned into a pale crystallized desert. The remaining Mandalorians had to huddle in a few limited residential areas to survive.
After this massacre, the planet Mandalore was completely disarmed and fell under direct occupation by 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, which was also seen by the Mandalorians. They began to think that joining the ranks of the Galactic Republic would create a new
This is the path that the Mandalorians should take.
This group of Mandalorians call themselves the 'New Mandalorians'. They have 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'
Among them, it is called the city of Sundari.
Keldabe, the traditional capital of the planet Mandalore, 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 philosophy of the New Mandalorians has become the mainstream on the planet Mandalore. A few Mandalorians who are unwilling to give up their warrior beliefs are exiled to Concorda, the moon of Mandalorian planet, and are 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 greatly welcomed this. They almost respectfully invited representatives of the New Mandalorians into the Republic Assembly, and in
This issue was almost unanimously approved.
In fact, after the massacre of the Mandalorian Excision, the Galactic Republic was not feeling well either. Both the Parliament and the Jedi Order were greatly criticized, especially after Ruusan's reform and abandonment of force.
That such a brutal massacre could occur 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 Galactic Republic's rule was even shaken.
At this time, the emergence of the New Mandalorian was simply a life-saving straw for 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.
A typical example, reshaping the image of democracy, freedom and justice of 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, and rely on the prestige accumulated by the Mandalorians for thousands of years.
The planet Mandalore began to have a very strong influence in the surrounding star areas, and became a star area overlord.
The Mandalorian's industrial factories have also extensively produced a large number of spaceships, hover vehicles and other industrial products, and have established their own brands. And these brands, without exception, are all unarmed.
The unarmedness 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 charismatic personality and strong execution ability, he revised the "Super Commando Code"
》(Superando Codex), began to reform the traditional Mandalorian.
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 their own Mandalorians in the black market everywhere in the galaxy.
Dalorian tradition. 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.
This group of Mandalorians, led by a man named Tor Vizsla, 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,
Mandalore - The Invincible compared to these glorious ancestors.
Under the leadership of Just Merrell, the traditional Mandalorians also began to call themselves True Mandalorians. So a war began between the Death Watch and the True Mandalorians.
The civil war lasted for more than ten years.
However, although 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.
Later, after Merrill 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.
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. Later, he left the Jedi Order, fell into darkness, set off a separatist movement, and finally established the Confederation of Independent Systems, challenging the
This laid the groundwork for a galactic civil war.
