Mandalorian Crusaders

"We fight, we conquer, or we die!"

- Anonymous Crusader

Mandalorian Crusaders was the term used to describe the first group of Mandalorian conquerors. According to legend, they were formed around 24,000 BBY on the planet Mandalore by Mandalore the First. They continued to exist for over 20,000 years, until they were wiped out in 3,996 BBY at the Battle of Onderon along with their last Mandalore, Mandalore the Indomitable.

Following the battle, the new Mandalore, Mandalore the Ultimate reformed the survivors into the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. The Crusader-class corvette was later named after them.

Members

 * Mandalore the First (according to legend)
 * Mandalore the Indomitable
 * Mandalore the Ultimate (before becoming Mandalore)

The emblem of the Crusaders may be the symbol visible on Mandalore the Indomitable's helm and gauntlets. It is similar, but not identical to the emblem of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders without the inset T-shaped skull/visor.
