Battle of Concord Dawn

"Your family is dead, boy! Come with us or die here, too!"

- Jaster Mereel

The Battle of Concord Dawn was a battle of the Mandalorian Civil War. The splinter Mandalorian Death Watch, lead by Vizsla, attacked the planet Concord Dawn, which held a large population of Mandalorians loyal to the "True Mandalorian" faction lead by Mandalore Jaster Mereel (who had been born on Concord Dawn, and had once been the planet's leader). The True Mandalorians scattered, and the Death Watch spent several days tracking them down.

The current Journeyman Protector (leader) of Concord Dawn hid Mereel on his homestead. As such, the homestead was destroyed, and the Protector killed by the Death Watch - along with almost all of his family. Only his son, Jango Fett, survived. Fett helped Mereel defeat the Death Watch by leading him out of the homestead, and by taking him to the town that would likely have been the next Death Watch target. When the Death Watch appeared in the town, Fett personally blasted a high-ranking Death Watch member, apparently fatally. The young Jango was taken under the protection of Mereel, and joined his group of Mandalorians.

For six years, the True Mandalorians believed this to be the end of the Death Watch. After believing himself to have won the battle, Vizsla planned to next attack Moonus Mandell.
