Mandalore

"Master Kenobi, Mandalore's violent past is behind us. All of our warriors were exiled to our moon, Concordia. They died out years ago."

- Prime Minister Almec

Mandalore was the homeworld of the Mandalorian Humans, a fearsome and warmongering people who fought the Jedi and sacked their temple during the fall of the Old Republic. Wearing distinctive armor, they were feared throughout the galaxy.

Years of war left the planet inhospitable, forcing the Mandalorians to live within domed cities. A pacifist regime came to power at the end of these wars, led by Duchess Satine Kryze, while those who refused to give up their warrior ways were exiled to the moon Concordia.

History
The ancient Mandalorians fought in many conflicts, often against the Jedi Order. On one occasion these commandos raided the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, seizing the Darksaber, an ancient lightsaber with a black blade.

The Clone Wars saw Mandalore declare neutrality between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a neutrality aimed at preventing Death Watch from exploiting Republic allegiance to their own gain; Death Watch was a splinter group that believed in returning Mandalore to its warrior past. After joining with Darth Maul as part of his Shadow Collective, Death Watch launched a coup against Duchess Kryze and took control of Mandalore.

Mandalore was subsequently occupied by the Galactic Empire, which established a campus there for training military cadets.
