Mandalorian Supercommando

Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Threats of the Galaxy

Affiliations: The Mandalorians, The Mandalorian Protectors

The Mandalorians are a breed of Elite Warriors, drawn from a variety of Species and trained in the fighting arts passed down through countless generations of warriors since the time of their founder, Mandalore. Known by their distinctive armor, made famous by such bounty hunters as Jango Fett and his son Boba Fett (and which served as inspiration for the Clone Troopers' armor during the Clone Wars), Mandalorian Supercommandos often strike terror in the hearts of those who must face them.

The origins of this esteemed group are murky, but some claim they were founded by a reptilian species eons ago. As these people wandered the gulfs of space, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake, they welcomed into their ranks any who had the mettle and drive to learn their fighting techniques. After the original Mandalorians died out, their heirs remained bound to the principles of honor and excellence in warfare that have helped spread their name to nearly every corner of the galaxy. 

Part of the reason The Mandalorians retain their own culture, despite the regular infusion of other Species, is their adherence to a set of six key principles. All of them wear Mandalorian Armor, speak the ancient language of Mando'a, effectively defend themselves and their families, raise their heirs in the traditions of The Mandalorians, support the clan, and ultimately answer the call to war by the Mandalore-the leader of the Mandalorian Clans. 

Mandalorian Supercommando Encounters

The Mandalorian Clans are among the best of the Elite Warriors. Using fighting techniques passed down through the centuries and equipped with cutting-edge weaponry and armor, they are a devastating force to encounter. In fact, so effective are the Mandalorian Supercommandos that the Emperor based the Imperial Guard on their fighting techniques and style of armor.

Although mercenaries by trade, they are far superior to other mercenary bands. Mandalorian Supercommandos have at various times in their history fought on all sides, and might even switch sides during a conflict if the enemy offers better pay.
