The History of Mandalore [ Neutral ]

[klgirebdnchajdelfianemdke]

Planet of Mandalore

"Mandalore. Right turn off the Hydian Way. Can't miss it."

Mandalore was located in the region of the galaxy known as the Outer Rim Territories, near the Hydian Way trade route, where it occupied the fifth orbit of the Mandalore sector's cognominal Mandalore system, between the orbits of Kalevala and Mandallia. It sat at the end of the hyperspace lane known as the Mandalorian Road, an ancient route that connected Mandalore with the planet Corsin in the Inner Rim. A terrestrial world spanning nine thousand, two hundred kilometers in diameter, Mandalore possessed standard gravity and two moons, including the one time mining base and agricultural center, Concordia. Unique to Mandalore and the Concordia moon was beskar iron ore, a nearly indestructible metal capable of withstanding blows from even a lightsaber, and used by Mandalorian metalsmiths to forge armor, weapons, and starships. A year on Mandalore comprised three hundred and sixty-six Galactic Standard days, and each day was made up of nineteen standard hours. Mandalore possessed a "Type I" breathable atmosphere, and a climate that varied by region. Native veshok trees covered much of Mandalore's northern hemisphere, including the Olankur region of its northern continent, forming a dense forest that stretched nearly as far as the polar ice caps. Winters in the north of Mandalore often saw significant snowfall, and bitter cold temperatures. The herbivorous animals called shatuals could be found living within the veshok forests, as could the intelligent, six-legged strills that preyed upon them for food. The tall, long-lived galek trees with their silver-colored leaves were also a common sight on Mandalore, as were the golden amber ferns that grew around galek groves. Wild mushrooms were known to grow on and around Mandalore's trees, as well.

Forty-five degrees north of Mandalore's equator, atop a flat granite hill nestled along a bend in the kilometers-long Kelita River, sat the city of Keldabe. Since at least 3,960 BBY, Keldabe had served as the capital of Mandalore, and the center of government for much of Mandalorian space. However, following the foundation of the New Mandalorian faction, the reformist sect declared the domed city city of Sundari, located in one of Mandalore's expansive and inhospitable white-sand desert regions, to be their capital. Positioned out on the flat desert plain, Sundari was surrounded only by sand and the giant cube-cities constructed by the innovative builders of the New Mandalorian people who rejected the ways of Mandalore's warrior clans. On the other hand, Keldabe found itself surrounded by the waters of the Kelita and woodland, along with gentle green hills that spread outward to fertile grassland the more agriculturally-minded Mandalorians took advantage of for farming. Keldabe boasted two of Mandalore's most renown landmarks, the hundred-meter-tall tower of the MandalMotors company headquarters, and the Oyu'baat hotel and tapcafe, one of the oldest of such establishments on the planet. With no formal palaces or offices, the Oyu'baat was also the informal meeting place for the Mand'alor and clan chieftains, making it the unofficial center of Mandalore's clan-based government until 40 ABY, when this role was shared by the newly established community building, MandalMotors Hall.


Tradition Mandalorian dwellings called vheh'yaime could be found across Mandalore.
Other smaller cities and settlements littered Mandalore's surface, including the Keldabe suburb of Bralsin. Most of Mandalore's settlements were built within a heavy fortification that contributed to the ease with which they could be defended from potential invaders. An example of such a settlement was the hill-fort town of Norg Bral. Further south and away from Keldabe, Mandalore's tropic regions boasted warmer weather and was where varos fruit could be found growing. Roads on Mandalore were rarely straight, designed so as to grant Mandalorians the advantage in ambushing and pinning down hostiles as they traveled. The traditional dwellings known as vheh'yaime—made from wood, woven vines, and matted mud—were a common choice for Mandalorian homes and numerous vheh'yaime of varying sizes could be found across Mandalore. The vheh'yaim was not the only type of Mandalorian home, however, and due to the varied nature of the different species and backgrounds that comprised the greater Mandalorian people, the architecture of Mandalore differed depending on the region and that area's particular inhabitants.

Current NPC Clan Chief Names/Info

Scud Raldo-Chief of clan Raldo
-Scud is currently one of the oldest Mandalorian Chiefs. A warrior to his core, Scud is a ruthless general and fighter. Despite his age Scud is still a very capable fighter and is an expert in hand to hand as well as marksmanship. He once taught the current Mandalore how to shoot a gun. They have since grown apart as the loving grandparent Ashara had grown to love reared his ugly head once she became involved in the "politics" of Mandalore. He is Anti-Jedi

Liara Vhett-Chief of clan Vhett
-Liara is the youngest of the current Chiefs and brings in a combination of new and old ideas. Though inexperienced in the world of Mandalorian politics, Liara has shown ample skill and ability on the field and in the sky and is currently one of the top pilots in the Mandalorian military. She is pro-Neutral

Aljihar Skirata-Chief of Clan Skirata
One of the few non-human chiefs, Aljihar is Ashara's best friend on the council. A smuggler by trade, Aljihar is a master at hand to hand. A sneaky little b*****d, Aljihar is the third oldest member on the council of chiefs. Ashara's main informant, he is undoubtedly the most loyal to the current Mandalore and is one of the only chiefs who were alive during the time after the late Mandalore's death that didn't scramble for the position. Aljihar is pro-Republic Alliance/ Pro-Jedi

A dark shadow has fallen over Mandalore. Rumors of an attack on Connor Lynn have made Ashara nervous. Ashara has been looking into who hired the Mando to take the shot, and which chief would allow such a thing. With the Mandalorian’s new image in jeopardy due to the leak of information, Ashara has taken the initiative, placing herself in front of the other Senators, attempting to put forth the idea that her people were not part of this rumored attempted murder. Defeated she headed back to Mandalore, however just before entering her shuttle another assailant attacked her, wounding her. The assailant was killed however and the monster finally reared his ugly head. Sculd Raldo it seemed had revived something many people still feared, the Death Watch. She didn’t know why he would attempt to kill Connor, but she knew that what he had just attempted to do was treason, and betrayal against her and their people.

Calling a meeting of the Chiefs, Ashara revealed what she had found and ordered for Sculd to be detained. She had hoped that he would comply peacefully with four other chiefs ready to take him down. But she was betrayed again, Liara, clan chief of the Vhett Clan attacked and killed Aljihaar, leaving the Skirata clan chief less. The two chiefs escaped in the commotion, simultaneously sending an attack order. Keldabe fell to the Death Watch, the ones not loyal to Liara and Sculd being forced to flee. Now forced to live on the outskirts of Keldabe as well as the other near-by settlements not loyal to the Vhett or Raldo clans, Ashara has amassed a force to deal with the two betrayers, and with eyes on the inside via a few select Verpine, Ashara hopes to win this war.
