Mandalore

Mandalore was the homeworld of the Mandalorian people. Years of Mandalorian wars left the planet inhospitable, forcing the Mandalorians to live within domed-cities. A pacifist regime came to power at the end of these wars, led by Duchess Satine Kryze. The Clone Wars saw Mandalore declare neutrality between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a neutrality aimed at preventing Death Watch from exploiting Republic allegiance to their own gain; Death Watch was a splinter group that believed in returning Mandalore to its warrior past. After joining with Darth Maul as part of his Shadow Collective, Death Watch launched a coup against Duchess Kryze and took control of Mandalore.
