Clan Varad

The Clan Varad was one of the more sanguinary Mandalorian clan during the Cold War. Considered aggressive even by Mandalorian standards, Clan Varad had carved out a reputation for violence over decades, raiding and plundering from various hidden bases throughout the Tamarin Sector. Its chieftain, Mavrix Varad, was known to be particularly bloodthirsty; Varad warriors who cannot passed his demanding combat trials were used for sparring and hunting practice by the younger members of the clan. Though life in Clan Varad was unremittingly harsh, those who survive quickly become accustomed to a steady flow of plunder, credits and weapons.

In recent times, the personality clashes between Mandalore the Vindicated and Mavrix Varad had grown impossible to ignore. Varad clansmen were no longer welcome on the Mandalorian stronghold of Geonosis, and Mandalore himself had privately described Mavrix Varad as "a rancor foaming at the mouth." Clan Varad’s broke with the Mandalorian leadership had surprised no one; its willingness to pick a fight with both the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, however, suggested that even Mandalore may had underestimated the threat Mavrix Varad posed. In the end effetly they went out of all control and decided privately to attack a powerful new republic warship, causing the ire of both Sith and Republic command.
