TRUE MANDALORIANS 
CENTRAL NET A Mandalorian is a member group of armored warrior clans in the Star Wars universe. Originally, the Mandalorian clans were led by the warlord Mandalore, and were ranked amongst the best fighters in the galaxy, thriving for battle. They were known for their use of cutting-edge weaponry and held to a strict code of honor. They were frequently allied with the Sith, notably Exar Kun. After their defeat during the Mandalorian War at the hands of the Jedi Revan and Malak, the Mandalorians went into a long decline. Some one hundred years before the Battle of Ruusan, the leader of the Mandalorians was assassinated by the bounty hunter Durge. The Mandalorians struck back and inflicted terrible vengenance upon the bounty hunter, but he managed to escape. Over the next few centuries the Mandalorians slowly transformed into a less-clan based, more mercenary-oriented culture. It was around this time that a schism occurred in their ranks. A violent splinter group, known as the Death Watch, revolted against the leadership of Jaster Mereel, who lead the loyalist faction. Eventually the civil war between these groups spilled on to the pastoral world of Concord Dawn. Here the Death Watch leader Vizsla attempted to murder Jaster. However, thanks to the assistance of a young orphan named Jango Fett, Jaster and his followers escaped the trap. Eventually, Viszla caught up to Jaster on a distant world and, thanks to the treachery of fellow Mandalorian Montross, Jaster was killed in battle. Jaster's protege, Jango, took over the reins of leadership, despite Montross' disparaging comment that it would mean a "child leading them". Jango's tenure as Mandalorian leader ended at the Battle of Galidran several years before the Clone Wars, where a Jedi taskforce under the leadership of Master Dooku led to the death of every Mandalorian, except Jango Fett who was sold into slavery and later escaped. For thousands of years, the Mandalorians served as fearsome mercenaries, working throughout the galaxy to help win wars and topple governments. The galaxy at large generally believes the Mandalorians to be extinct throughout the galaxy, with Boba Fett possessing the last remaining set of fearsome Mandalorian armor. Death Watch splinter group is a mysterious mercenary unit, using their fearsome battle armor and training to make credits for anyone who pays them. For ages, this group of surviving Mandalorians have remained in hiding on a planet in the Outer Rim. Now, this tiny moon has seen Imperial scouts nosing about and landing supply ships. The Death Watch wants to know why. To help maintain their secrecy, they have contracted with the criminal organization known as Black Sun. The Death Watch and Black Sun mercenaries are keeping an eye, for now, on what the Empire is doing; and they're deciding how to manipulate the situation to their favor.
