Great Clan Wars

"A civil war killed most of Satine's people, hence her aversion to violence. When she returned, she took on the difficult task of rebuilding her world alone."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

The Great Clan Wars were a series of conflicts fought over a decade prior to the Clone Wars between various Mandalorian clans.

The conflict
The Death Watch launched a campaign to overthrow the New Mandalorians from power in Mandalorian Space, with the ensuing battles resulting in a bloody civil war. Mandalorian clan warlords were pitted against each other, splitting clans and families and leading to further devastation of the capital Mandalore, which had already been scarred by the Mandalorian Excision several centuries prior. Among those killed in the fighting was the leader of Clan Kryze.

Aftermath
"Master Qui-Gon and I spent a year on Mandalore, protecting the Duchess from insurgents who had threatened her world. They sent bounty hunters after us. We were always on the run, living hand-to-mouth, never sure what the next day would bring."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi

Much to the chagrin of the Death Watch, the New Mandalorians retained control of Mandalore, particularly through the efforts of their new leader, Duchess Satine Kryze. Upon her return to Mandalore after diplomatic training on Coruscant, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, spent a year on Mandalore protecting insurgents opposed to her rule.
