A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

In the year 3976 BBY, a Taung named Te Ani'la took up the mantle that had been empty ever since the end of the Great Sith War, when Mand'alor Te Kandosii was killed. Ani’la’s ascension to Mand’alor was fueled by a new philosophy that rose within the Mandalorians, Manifest Destiny, and his retrieval of Kandosii’s helmet. Under Ani’la’s leadership, the Mandalorian Crusaders began to raid nearby systems and expand their territories at a rapid rate. For his valor and ambition, he was named Mand’alor the Ultimate.

It wasn’t until 3974 BBY that the now christened Mandalorian Dominion first came into conflict with the Galactic Republic. The Dominion wasn’t even half the size of the Republic, in both number of member systems and standing military, so the Republic was confident that they would have a swift victory against the Mandalorians. However, what they thought was a sure victory proved to be a major blunder. Battle after battle, the Republic lost to the Mandalorians. The warrior people of Mandalore may have been fewer in number, but their military technology, training and tactics were far superior to those of the Republic Military.

The Republic were in need of assistance, so they tried to seek the help of the Jedi Order. The Jedi Order, having only just finished a war with the Sith Lord Exar Kun and his followers 22 years prior and were still trying to rebuild. The Jedi High Council refused to send aid, believing that joining in the war would only bring its members closer to the Dark Side and might cause another Sith War. Some younger members of the Order, however, called for the Council to intervene. Key among these was Davic Relyn and Alek Manu, two Jedi Knights. Because of their outspoken defiance of the Jedi Council, the two amassed a large following within the Order. Even some Jedi Masters agreed with his views. Still, out of respect for the Council they didn’t initially join the war.

In 3973 BBY, the Mandalorians Crusaders, led by General Cassus Fett, attacked the Cathar homeworld and brutally murdered 90% of the planet’s population. Only those that managed to hide in secluded enclaves were able to escape the General’s cruel genocide. The survivors spread news of the attack to the Republic and word soon reached Davic and his followers. A large collection of Jedi headed to the Cathar homeworld to give aid and investigate the attack. There Davic found the corpse of a young Mandalorian woman Xa Sorrul. Her body was over a young Cathar child, whom she had tried to protect from being executed. Moved by her sacrifice, Davic took her helmet and vowed that until the war was over he’d not remove it. Under Davic’s leadership many Jedi joined the Mandalorian Wars inspite the Jedi Council’s direct order not to intervene.

It’s been almost a year since the so called “Lost Jedi” came to the aid of the Republic. Since then Jedi Knight Davic Relyn was named Supreme Commander of the Republic Fleet and with his help they’ve been able to win many battles against the Mandalorians, which has begun to halt the enemy’s advance. Though the war is just beginning…
