The Mandalorian Guard, also known as the Mandalorian police was the security force of the New Mandalorian led Mandalorian Government Council on the planet Mandalore. They served as peacekeepers.[5] During the Clone Wars, Mandalore faced constant threats of invasion, attacks by the Death Watch splinter group, and internal politics. Duchess Satine Kryze felt that the Mandalorian Protectors,[6] who stood separate from much of the greater Mandalorian police force,[7] were the only ones she could truly trust.[6]
Description[]
An officer of the Mandalorian Guard
Organization[]
The Mandalorian Guard, however, was susceptible to corruption, including members of the Mandalorian secret service.[3] Many Mandalorian Guards were killed during the takeover of Mandalore by the Death Watch and Shadow Collective and the subsequent death of Duchess Satine.[2] Prior to the exposure of his true colors, Governor Pre Vizsla was accompanied by members of the Guard when welcoming Duchess Satine and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi in their visit to the moon Concordia.[5] The Office of the Mandalorian Prime Minister controlled much of the Mandalorian police force, but Kryze's royal guards stood apart from their command.[7]
They were sometimes led by police captains, such as Patrok Ru-Saxon.[1][2]
Equipment[]
The Mandalorian Guard utilized electropoles,[8] riot shields, stun batons, Aka'jor-class shuttles,[9] Buirk'alor-class speeders, and hover taxis.[1] Members of the guard were recruited from every Mandalorian clan.[10]
Behind the scenes[]
The Mandalorian Guard first appeared in "The Mandalore Plot," the twelfth episode of the second season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.[5] The Encyclopedia[7] and Databank entries for the Kryze's Mandalorian Protectors[6]—both simply titled "Mandalorian Guard"—conflate the standard Mandalorian police and Kryze's protectors by using an image of the former, whereas the main body text describes the latter.[7][6]
