Unidentified Mandalorian commander

"Another Mandalorian, is it? Will you draw arms against those you should serve?"

- The Mandalorian Commander to Canderous Ordo

The Mandalorian Commander was a Human male Mandalorian on Kashyyyk who led a small unit of Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders in the lower Kashyyyk Shadowlands during the Jedi Civil War. He wore the crimson armor of a Rally Master.

Biography
The Mandalorian Commander was a member of a poacher unit that was stationed in the Shadowlands of Kashyyyk. His unit used personal cloaking devices and cloaked swoop bikes to track targets. During the redeemed Revan's travel to Kashyyyk to find a Star Map, his troops wiped out a group of Wookiee hunters. The surviving Wookiee, Grrrwahr, pleaded for Revan and his companions to kill the Mandalorians for revenge. Revan and his companions had to draw the Mandalorian slavers out by putting away all their weapons, and entering clearings marked with dead Wookies. After two skirmishes, he recieved a datapad, and located the Mandalorians' swoop bikes. He inserted the captured datapad into a swoop's data port, and the Mandalorian Commander appeared with his remaining comrades. After a short skirmish, the Mandalorians were defeated and Revan gave the Wookiee hunter the Commander's helmet as a trophy.

Personality and Traits
Like many a Mandalorian warrior, the Mandalorian Commander enjoyed fighting and warfare. His decision to attack only weaponless opponents after deactivating a cloaking device was scene as the acts of a coward by the Wookies and Canderous, and his orders were even questioned by his own men. But he had been ordered to test the stealth field generators, and he followed the order to the letter. The Commander also believed in reuniting the Mandalorian clans, indicated by his dialoge with Canderous Ordo (if the latter was present.)

Behind the scenes
If Canderous Ordo is in the party at the time, the Mandalorian Commander asks his fellow Mandalorian, "Draw arms against those you should serve." It is possible to avoid fighting the Mandalorian commander, or any of his comrades, if the player does not unequip weapons in the clearings, and fails to insert a datapad into the swoop bike. This does not result in any alignment change.
