Chernan Ordo

"Where are those traitorous Alliance cowards?! We're getting slaughtered!"

- Chernan Ordo, regarding the battle of Botajef

Chernan Ordo was a male Mandalorian who held the title of "Mand'alor"&mdash;which signified his authority over the Mandalorian clans&mdash;by the initiation of the Sith–Imperial War. During the conflict, Ordo was hired by the Galactic Alliance to defend the planet Botajef against an impending attack by the forces of the Fel Empire, until the Alliance's fleet arrived to repel the Imperials. However, the Alliance fleet never arrived, and Ordo perished after his forces were overrun and he was betrayed by the Mandalorian Yaga Auchs, who caused Ordo's death and usurped the title of Mand'alor.

Biography
"Karr! We're not getting anything from communications! Find out what the problem is! And see if you can find where Yaga Auchs is!" "On it, Mandalore!"

- Ordo and Hondo Karr on the battlefields of Botajef

Chernan Ordo, a male, was a Mandalorian who ascended to the position of "Mand'alor", a title that signified his absolute authority over the Mandalorian clans, around 127 ABY. In that same year, the Fel Empire allied with the Sith Lord's Darth Krayt's order and declared war against the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. Late in the first year of the conflict, Ordo was contracted by the Alliance to defend the world of Botajef against the Imperial forces until the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet could arrive to protect the world.

During the ensuing battle, Ordo's Mandalorian forces began to be overrun by the larger number of Imperials. When the Alliance's fleet never arrived, Ordo instructed the Mandalorian Hondo Karr to check their communications tower and locate another Mandalorian, Yaga Auchs. Karr found Auchs, who killed the Mandalorian monitoring the communications and destroyed the tower on behalf of a third party who did not want the Mandalorians involved in the war. Eventually, Ordo was slain and his forces were overrun, due to Auchs' betrayal. Auchs usurped Ordo's title of Mandalore and withdrew the Mandalorians from the Sith–Imperial War.

Personaity and traits
The male Chernan Ordo was capable enough of a Mandalorian to claim the title of Mandalore, which designated his supremacy as leader of the Mandalorian clans. Although he was willing to be hired by the Galactic Alliance to defend Botajef, Ordo came to view the Alliance as treacherous and cowardly, due to the Alliance's fleet never arriving on the planet. He also recognized that although his Mandalorians were superior fighters, the Imperials had an advantage in the quantity of their forces. Ordo wore a set of Mandalorian armor painted in green, gray, and yellow, and used a blaster pistol during combat.

Behind the scenes
Chernan Ordo was created by John Ostrander, the writer of the Star Wars: Legacy comics, in the forty-first issue, entitled Rogue's End. He was drawn by Kajo Baldisimo.
