New Mandalorians/Legends

The New Mandalorians were a reformist political organization led by the pacifist Duchess Satine Kryze during the Clone Wars.

History
The New Mandalorians were formed about 730 years before the Battle of Yavin, following a war between the Galactic Republic and the Mandalorians that devastated Mandalore. While many of the warrior clans scattered again, the New Mandalorians took a different approach. They did away with the old warrior codes that the Mandalorians had historically followed, instead claiming that the only way the Mandalorians could survive was through being peaceful, neutral and tolerant. Under the influence of the New Mandalorians, the traditional Mandalorian armor became a rare sight on Kalevala, with only a few people choosing the old ways.

In 60 BBY, Jaster Mereel allied many of the old clans and formed the True Mandalorians. This Mandalorian organization soon fractured and became embroiled in a war against their splinter Mandalorian faction, the Death Watch. The New Mandalorians rejected both groups. After the True Mandalorians were eliminated during the Battle of Galidraan in 44 BBY, the Death Watch rebuilt its ranks and attempted to kill Duchess Satine Kryze, the leader of the New Mandalorians. However, Satine survived the repeated attacks.

During the Clone Wars, Satine advocated that the Mandalorians remain neutral. However, the New Mandalorians eventually gave their support to the former Clone trooper Alpha-Ø2, who had styled himself "Mandalore the Resurrector".
