Battle of Galidraan

"You killed them. You killed them all. We're all dead."

- Jango Fett

The Battle of Galidraan was a conflict that led to the destruction of the True Mandalorians by the Jedi.

First conflict
The Governor of Galidraan had secretly been hiding the Mandalorian Death Watch splinter group on his world. He was also facing an insurrection by some of his colonists, so he hired the True Mandalorians under Jango Fett to eliminate the rebels, which they did.

However, under the advice of the Death Watch leader, Vizsla, he also informed the Jedi Council that a group of Mandalorians were murdering "political activists."

Second conflict
A unit of Jedi under Master Dooku were dispatched to Galidraan; no sooner had the True Mandalorians completed their work for the governor than the Jedi arrived and ordered them to stand down, which Fett refused to do. This resulted in a bloody stand-off.

Aftermath
The casualties on both sides were heavy, with Jango being one of the only two surviving Mandalorians. The Jedi handed Jango over to the Governor of Galidraan, and the Mandalorian was sold into slavery.

Dooku would later reflect that "It was a misguided mission from the start and not the first of the Council's poor decisions." About 10 years before the battle of Geonosis, Silas was captured and tortured by Count Dooku for information regarding Jango Fett. Dooku then murdered the second-last True Mandalorian.
