Mandalorian Protectors


 * "We will not be seen as butchers of innocents, but rather as protectors."
 * - Cadden Blackthorne, Mandalore

The Mandalorian Protectors, led by Cadden Blackthorne as Mandalore, have made an astonishing come-back in recent days of Exodus history. With roughly 1,500 soldiers and thousands of pilots, ship personnel, and other sorts of loyal followers, the Mandalorian Protectors are poised to make a stand and find their place in the galaxy.

Under Cadden's leadership, the Protectors are reverting from their old ways of war, and shifting toward that of galactic protection. Mandalorian borders come first, however, and the rest of the galaxy comes second.

Leadership
Cadden Blackthorne is the new Mandalore, and oversees all operations both in and out of Mandalorian space. He is a capable warrior, and often goes with his bretheren into battle.

Gandon Belak is the commander and the instructor of new recruits in the ground forces.

Kiar Jensen is the resident Special Operations agent of the Mandalorians. Though her methods are deemed by many to be less honorable, Cadden has recently relied on her stealth and covert operations skills to prepare for battles against enemies of the Protectors.

Locke Rekkon is the general of the Mandalorian armies, and takes command when Cadden is not present. He also coordinates the space division.

Worlds

 * Mandalore is the capital of the Mandalorian Protectors. Its precise location was unknown to the galaxy at large for some time, until the Mandalorians felt capable enough of protecting the world from any threat.


 * Concord Dawn has become home to many Mandalorians, including the infamous Jaster Mereel and Jango Fett.


 * Ordo, home to Clan Ordo, is a long-standing member world of the Mandalorian people. Though it holds no real significant importantce, its sheer pride of being the homeworld of one of the previous Mandalores in history makes it a place of value to the Mandalorian Clans.


 * Shogun, a crystalline world, was conquered many generations ago, and has remained under Mandalorian control since.


 * Gargon is a planet that produces much of the planet's phobium, a dense metallic mineral most famous for its use in the Death Star's power core.

Castes

 * The Crimson Deaths are an elite group of Mandalorians whom specialize in Special Operations. They are led by Kiar Jensen, and consist of a majority of her clan.


 * Dha Werda Verda (The Shadow Warriors - direct translation is The Warriors of the Shadow) are a second elite group of Mandalorians. This special breed of warriors are the commando division of the Protectors. Different from Kiar's Crimson Deaths, the Shadow Warriors are much more combat-focused than their SpecOps bretheren. They often find themselves behind enemy lines, and generally making a mess of their fortifications and defenses. This unit is a new unit, created by Cadden shortly before the Battle of Thyferra, and Dalen Blackthorne was appointed their leader.


 * The Elite Guard has been Cadden's personal group of commandos for some time. While not loyal to the Mandalorians, they are loyal to Cadden himself. They don't usually see the active service that the Shadow Warriors see, but rather they help enhance fleets and armies by adding themselves to the ranks, wherever needed. An Elite Guard was responsible for a mass-destruction outbreak at the Imperial-controlled Bilbringi, during Blackthorne Enterprises' reincarnation in the Hoth System.
