History Formation. ' The mercenary Jaster Mereel, who became Mandalore in 60 BBY, sought to reinstitute the warrior codes. His True Mandalorians were opposed by mercenaries who argued that the way to restore the clans' honor was to topple the hated New Mandalorians and repay the Republic's savagery in kind. This group became known as the Death Watch.' ―In the, multiple Mandalorian clans clashed with the in over a distillery. Upon their victory, these clans proceeded to engage in the of their defeated foes, wiping out nearly the entirety of the Ithullan people. In the wake of what was considered by a variety of to be the greatest crime of its era, many Mandalorian soldiers were dissatisfied with the wide-spread savagery and brigandage that had become prevalent among a number of their contemporaries.

Close to a century and a half later, in, the title of Mand'alor—the traditional leader of the Mandalorian clans —was claimed by a charismatic soldier by the name of Jaster Mereel; a respected and highly principled, formerly a of, Mereel sympathized with the clans' dissatisfaction and set out to institute a reform. He revived and modernized the ancient that the Mandalorians of the past had once followed, creating a series of several hundred commandments governing moral Mandalorian behavior, which he entitled the Supercommando Codex.

The Codex, like the Canons before it, drew heavily from the Resol'nare, the six central tenets of the Mandalorian culture. From the Codex, Mereel preached that any Mandalorians who wished to fight would no longer be allowed to act as raiders and brigands, but merely highly- soldiers, and should conduct themselves as honorable mercenaries.However, not all agreed with the Codex or Mereel's reforms. The —a pacifistic political faction in existence since the aftermath of the of —believed in peace and non-violence above all, and despite Mereel's reforms, any act of Mandalorian violence was fundamentally against what the New Mandalorians stood for. More dangerously, though, were the Mandalorian rogues Mereel had sought to reign in: immoral mercenaries who enjoyed their lives of lawlessness and unaccountability, and would-be revanchists, conspiring against the peaceful New Mandalorians who they saw as an affront to the Mandalorians' warrior traditions. Under the leadership of the barbaric Tor Vizsla, these outlaws banded together in order to oppose Mereel's reforms, calling their new splinter faction the Death Watch; Death Watch dreamed of a return to the ways of the and the downfall of the hated New Mandalorians, and plotted to eventually wage a second across.

From numerous clans and Mandalore's full-time army, those who were most loyal to Mereel and his ideals rallied to their leader, recasting themselves as 'True Mandalorians' in opposition to the Death Watch outcasts. With pressure to destroy the Death Watch from Mandalorian hardliners, tensions escalated until open conflict broke out between Death Watch and the True Mandalorians, and civil war ensued. Civil War Soldiers of Jaster Mereel. ' Jaster will do what's right for the Mandalorians—he always has.' ―As the between the True Mandalorians and the Death Watch began in earnest, the New Mandalorians elected to remain neutral in the conflict, with their refusing to aid either group.

In, the war had spilled onto Concord Dawn, an world located in the, and the homeworld of Jaster Mereel. There, the True Mandalorians engaged the Death Watch in a lengthy, but were ultimately forced to withdraw, scattering their forces while retreating into the fields of crops belonging to the local. Mereel and his troops found refuge on the of the, but Death Watch soon followed, intent on destroying the True Mandalorians.

They savagely interrogated the of the family and threatened the life of his young son, if he refused to provide Death Watch with the True Mandalorians' location. Chaos broke out when the boy's attempted to defend her son and husband with a blaster rifle, leading to the death of the young Fett's parents and the kidnapping of his sister, when Death Watch struck back.

Amidst the violence, Mereel broke from the True Mandalorians' cover in the fields in order to rescue Jango Fett, grabbing the boy as the True Mandalorians provided covering fire long enough to flee deeper into the fields.Unwilling to let the True Mandalorians get away a second time, Death Watch set the fields ablaze, hoping to turn their enemy's cover against them. As the closed around them, Jango Fett showed the True Mandalorians to a large irrigation pipe that they were able to enter and use to escape the burning field unharmed. With his dead, Jaster Mereel brought Fett along with his soldiers to the nearby, where the True Mandalorians began to lay an ambush for Death Watch. In the belief that they had been victorious in finishing off the True Mandalorians, the Death Watch into the town with intentions to pillage as they pleased before moving on, but when a Death Watch soldier accosted an older man with a on the street, the individual revealed himself to be a True Mandalorian in disguise, throwing aside his cloak and stick as he opened fire. From the overhead balcony of a nearby building, the True Mandalorian soldier fired down on the Death Watch, his shots providing cover as the young Fett planted an explosive mine on the underside of Death Watch's; as soon as Fett was clear, the mine was detonated and the tank was destroyed.

What Death Watch warriors remained alive were picked off as Mereel and his troops moved in from the surrounding alleyways, while Fett himself killed responsible for his family's death. Though Tor Vizsla ultimately escaped with his life, the battle on Concord Dawn proved a victory for the True Mandalorians.

The Death Watch had been all but eliminated, and Jango Fett was taken in by Jaster Mereel, becoming a Mandalorian.Years passed without another appearance from Vizsla, and the True Mandalorians believed the Death Watch to be no more in the wake of the battle on Concord Dawn. Finding themselves now without a foe to fight, the True Mandalorians were reinvented by Jaster Mereel as a mercenary army.

In, six years after Death Watch's defeat, the True Mandalorians were contracted by the to extract a team of rookie pinned down under fire on the planet by a group of local hostiles. Intelligence collected by the indicated these native fighters were poorly armed and without a formal army, and upon accepting the job, the True Mandalorians traveled to the in the. En route to their destination, the members of the True Mandalorians were briefed for the coming mission, first by Jaster Mereel, who outlined the objective and the mission parameters, and then by Montross, who issued assignments to the troops. For the Kordan job, the forces of the True Mandalorians were divided into three units:, a jetpack-equipped aerial unit under Montross' command;, the armed extraction team under Jaster Mereel's command, tasked with recovering the security personnel; and, a rear-guard unit assigned to defend the landing zone and provide cover fire, under the command of Jango Fett. Arriving in orbit over Korda Six following the briefing, the True Mandalorians boarded Meteor-class dropships and disembarked from the carrier toward the surface below.As the True Mandalorians entered the atmosphere, their of dropships were overwhelmed by a barrage of fire. Several were struck and rendered without power, forcing the dropships to make to a series of rough crash landings with various degrees of success.

The ships that were able to land and deploy troops did so under heavy fire from a large and heavily armed hostile Kordan force, the likes of which the True Mandalorians' intelligence hadn't anticipated. The Mandalorian troops were forced to move into trenches for cover in order to survive the powerful onslaught, while those that were unable to reach the safety of cover in time were cut down by enemy fire.With reports of mounting casualties and the realization that their intelligence had been woefully inaccurate, Jaster Mereel ordered all units to rendezvous at Jango Fett's position at the landing site, and commanded Vertigo Company to abort their planned attack run on the Kordan hostiles. Montross, however, insisted that the True Mandalorians push forward, refusing Mereel's orders to retreat as he led Vertigo Company to press their attack. Montross and his soldiers assaulted an enemy emplacement at the top of a large ridge, but fell prey to heavy blaster fire and a sudden strike. While his troops made for the True Mandalorians' landing zone, Mereel personally attacked the Kordans alone, rescuing Montross.

At the same time, Fett had chosen to use Montross' ill-guided assault as a diversion in order to make for the security team with his own troops in an attempt to complete the mission. When Fett's True Mandalorians arrived at the extraction point, however, they discovered not a team of security personnel in need of rescue, but a Death Watch ambush.

A firefight erupted, and Fett attempted to stem the Death Watch's initial advantage of surprise with a stream of fire from his gauntlet flamethrower, but the skirmish quickly devolved into close quarters combat, necessitated by the tight confines of the area's trees.Their presence on Korda Six revealed, Death Watch moved to confront Jaster Mereel personally on the battlefield. From the troop bay of an armored tank, Tor Vizsla lashed out at Mereel with a wrist-launched that the Mand'alor barely evaded, while Montross leaped clear with his jetpack. As the tank's opened fire, Mereel called to Montross for an airlift, but Montross rejected his plea; dissatisfied with taking orders from Mereel, Montross left the Mandalorian leader to Death Watch as he flew back to regroup with the other True Mandalorians. Though Mereel attempted to return fire before retreating on foot, and Jango Fett rushed to aid him, Mereel was overpowered and mortally wounded by the tank's sustained assault. Fett arrived in time to see Montross depart, but he was only able to comfort Mereel as he died, and subsequently carried the Mand'alor body back to the True Mandalorian extraction point.

There, Montross had claimed that both Mereel and Fett had died in combat as part of a bid to claim the title of Mand'alor for himself. When Fett arrived carrying Mereel's body, he informed the others of Montross' betrayal: Montross was, and Fett succeeded Mereel as Mand'alor with the backing of the True Mandalorians. Jango Fett's army. ' Hello, Governor. We took care of your problem.

The Mandalorians have prevailed. Your reign is secure. It's time for you to uphold your end of the agreement. You've been harboring a murderer.

You've even funded his attempts to rebuild the Death Watch. Now, what I want to know is.where is Vizsla?' ' He.he left Galidraan!'

' That's not the right answer. I killed your enemies.now tell me where to find mine! ' ―Jango Fett to the governor of GalidraanThough the Death Watch had caught the True Mandalorians by surprise with their return, under Jango Fett's leadership, the True Mandalorians not only made it off of Korda Six with the majority of their forces alive, but went on to hunt the Death Watch across the galaxy. Eight years after the events on Korda Six, in, the True Mandalorians followed the trail of Death Watch to the planet in the. Upon discovering rumors that the was harboring Tor Vizsla and financing his efforts to rebuild the Death Watch, the Mand'alor Fett arranged to aid the in his struggle against a group of in exchange for information on the whereabouts of Vizsla and the Death Watch.The True Mandalorians assaulted the Galidraan rebels at their, striking from the air with jetpacks before landing and engaging the rebels on the -covered ground. A short and overwhelming attack, the Galidraan rebels were unable to match the True Mandalorians' blasters, wrist-rockets, and flamerthrowers, and subsequently perished. With their task complete, Fett ordered his troops back to the camp they had established on Galidraan, while Fett himself journeyed to the in order to collect their payment.

There, Fett met with the governor and informed him of the rebels' defeat, but when he asked for the agreed upon information on Vizsla's whereabouts in return, the governor denied that Vizsla was on Galidraan. At that moment, Vizsla and a cadre of Death Watch soldiers broke from their hiding place within the palace and attacked Fett, forcing the Mandalorian leader to flee the governor's palace via a large window usig his jetpack. Vizsla fired his blaster after Fett, striking and damaging his jetpack, and forcing him to crash land in the snow far from the True Mandalorian camp.Though the True Mandalorians had succeeded in locating the Death Watch, their hunt only played into yet another trap Death Watch had set for their foes. While the True Mandalorians fought the rebels, the governor of Galidraan had contacted the on, the world of the, asking for the aid in dealing with an army of Mandalorians he claimed had been slaughtering political activists. No sooner had Fett uncovered Vizsla's presence on Galidraan, when bearing a descended upon Galidraan.

Vizsla instructed the governor to direct the to the True Mandalorians' camp and inform them that Fett's troops were responsible for the murder of innocent women and —Death Watch itself would provide the necessary bodies for evidence of the True Mandalorians' supposed crimes. Though Fett was able to spot the Jedi, his helmet's comlink had been damaged in the fall, forcing Fett to run to the camp through the snow on foot in order to warn his comrades.Jango Fett arrived at the True Mandalorian camp only moments before the Jedi.

The task force, led by, took the lying governor at his word and demanded the Mandalorians' immediate surrender in order to bring them into custody on the charge of murder, with Dooku's adding that should they resist, the Mandalorians would be killed. Innocent and indignant, Fett ordered the True Mandalorians to open fire on the Jedi, specifically targeting Vosa. Though their blasters were effective at holding the Jedi at bay, the energy bolts that were reflected by the Jedi's proved dangerous and costly to the True Mandalorian ranks, and Fett instead had his soldiers switch to harder to deflect projectile weapons.

As True Mandalorians launched volleys of wrist-fired rockets at their Jedi foes, Fett ordered several jetpack-equipped soldiers to provide air support and cover for the troops on the ground. A number of Jedi fell to the attacks, and numerous Mandalorians perished either to or the of a Jedi's lightsaber. An airborne True Mandalorians by the name of was in midair by blade while Fett could only watch. During the melee, Fett personally killed six Jedi with no weapon beyond his own, feet, and armored body; the Jedi responsible for Myles' death was disarmed and by Fett, before the Mandalorian leader finally ended his life with a.Despite his efforts, Fett couldn't change the outcome of the battle: though the Jedi's forces had been halved—eleven of their original twenty slain by the True Mandalorians —every True Mandalorian on Galidraan, save for Fett himself, was killed by the Jedi. With his comrades dead, a defeated and emotionally exhausted Fett fell to his knees in the Galidraan snow and allowed the Jedi to take him into custody.

He was stripped of his Mandalorian armor and turned over to the authority of Galidraan's governor, who subsequently sold Fett into while keeping his armor as a treasured prize. The Mandalorian Civil War had come to an end, and through their deceitful machinations, Death Watch triumphed over the True Mandalorians.Without the active opposition of the True Mandalorians to challenge them, the Death Watch was free to move against the New Mandalorians. While Fett was enslaved, Death Watch incited a bloody conflict on Mandalore that grew to be known as the.

This second civil war divided numerous clans and pitted family members against one another, as some supported Death Watch's aims, while others believed in the ideals of the True Mandalorians. Many Mandalorians died over the course of the conflict, but Death Watch ultimately failed to unseat the New Mandalorian regime. Several of the who had been swayed to war by Death Watch went into exile on Mandalore's, along with several defeated Death Watch warriors. Tor Vizsla and those Death Watch troops who still followed him retreated to regroup and rebuild.

The last hunt of the True Mandalorians.
