The label of Mandalorian Crusader is misleading. Despite this simplistic aim, the Crusaders were scarcely primitive, placing highest priority on plundering cutting edge weaponry at every opportunity. The Canons aimed at helping warriors attain personal glory via combat and loyalty to one's clan.
#MANDALORIAN KUAR CODE#
Made up of the clans of simianlike humanoids, these nomads roamed space seeking conflict, following a code called the Canons of Honor. The oldest documented incarnation is the Mandalorian Crusaders from around 4000-5000 years BBY. The Mandalorian shock troopers have undergone many permutations. But in truth, the symbol was actually adopted in reverance to a legendary Mandalorian combat-training master. The traditional Mandalorian crest, frequently mistaken for the Bantha skull, bears a striking resemblance to the skull of a male mythosaur. Thus, "home" was acknowledged as wherever the Mandalore deemed to hang his mask. This pratice led to the use of the name "Mandalore" as the title signifiying the appointed leader of the Mandalorian Clans. Historically, the Mandalorians often made conquered planets their home, planets such as the great gladiatorial combat world of Kuar during the Great Sith War and the surreal Shogun years before that. The Planet Mandalore has figured steadily in Mandalorian history, though whether it was the planet of origin remains disputed legend has it the world was named after its conqueror Mandalore the First, whose warriors slaughtered the mammoth mythosaurs that dominated the planet. Particulary complelling are the similarites between the Mandalorian language and the surviving Taung texts. Xenoanthropologists believe that this original Mandalorian species was descended from the ancient Taung Shadow Warriors of the Dha Werda Verda legend. Though in modern times the Mandalorians have become a grab-bad of alien races, including humanoids, Togorians, and Kerestians, the Mandalorians were once strictly a gray-skinned warrior race.
The history of the Mandalorian shock troppers goes back a long way, some say to the dawn of recorded galactic history. (If you want me to write the rest down after reading this part, just tell me) I figure some might like to know what's up with the Mandalorians.Īll info is exact, from the Article in issue 80 of Insider. I'm bored, so I'll write the Mandalorian history leading up, and perhaps a little after, the Mandalorian Wars.
