Mandalorian Civil War/Legends

The Mandalorian Civil War followed the schism of the Mandalorian warriors in the decades preceding the Clone Wars.

It began in 60 BBY, with Jaster Mereel becoming Mandalore of the clans and outlining a Supercommando Codex. Those "mercs" who wished to continue the old, "dishonorable ways" opposed Mereel, and formed the Death Watch, under the leadership of Vizsla.

The loyalists of Mereel fought Vizsla's Death Watch, until Jaster's betrayal and death on Korda 6. From then, the Mandalorian loyalists were led by Jango Fett until 34 BBY, when they were annihilated by Jedi Master Dooku in the Battle of Galidraan after falling into a trap laid by the Death Watch.

It is interesting to note that, given all known operations on the war (the battles on Concord Dawn, Korda 6, and Galidraan; the planned Death Watch attack on Moonus Mandell; the construction of the Death Watch Bunker on Endor; and the final encounter between Fett and Vizsla on Corellia), the Mandalorian Civil War took place entirely outside of the Mandalore Sector and the scope of the Mandalorian government.
