Mandalore

From: Official Holonet Database

The position of Mandalore is part general, part king, all warlord. It is not hereditary and centuries can go by without the Mandalorian clans uniting behind a single ruler. When one warrior has both the vision and the strength to claim the title all clans must either recognize this authority or war against it.

During the early years of the war, Imperial Intelligence supported a puppet Mandalore–known now as Mandalore the Lesser–who united the clans briefly before being defeated during the blockade of the Hydian Way. Seeking to energize the clans and restore his support, Mandalore the Lesser called the Great Hunt, a galaxy-wide competition for glory, only to have the winner challenge him to a duel, shoot him dead and claim his title.

The new Mandalore slowly consolidated power, squashing an uprising by those who believed the Mandalorians should follow the path of Mandalore the Preserver and support the Republic. Today his position is absolute and for now at least the Mandalorians remain cautious, well-paid allies of the Empire.

Mandalore, or Mand’alor in its truest rendering, meaning “sole ruler” in Mando’a, was the title of the leader of the Mandalorians. The title originated with the mythical figure Mandalore the First, whose warriors were said to have conquered the planet ofMandalore. Eventually, the term came to be applied to the Mandalorian leaders, with the first known bearer of the title beingMandalore the Indomitable, who reigned during the Great Sith War. The last known person to claim the title of Mand’alor was Yaga Auchs, who kept the Mandalorians on Mandalore during the Sith–Imperial War.

The title was notable for surviving several thousand years, through considerable Mandalorian hardships. Despite several lost wars, infighting and the emergence of the “Mandalorian Mercenary” phenomenon, at least seventeen Mandalorians declared themselves Mand’alor throughout the years, with varying degrees of success in their attempts to lead the Mandalorian clans.
