Mandelorian Information

        From what I gathered the ancient mandelorians were famed warriors and known
throughout the galaxy.  However, they offended the Jedi some how and the Jedi
decided it was their job to make sure this race didn't get any farther in its
empire building.  The Mandelorians didn't like the deal and decided to start a
nice little war also known as the CLONE WARS.  It lasted for many years and
the Mandelorians enlisted the Sith to help them and toward the end they began
mass cloning in order to keep their armies supplemented.  In the end, however,
they were defeated by the Jedi and the Old Republic but not before they had
severely weakened it's control. Palpy than began his take over bid.
Remember, this is most likely not Lucas Fact.

        They used to ride these large lizard like beasts into battle.  Can't remember
name of the animals and their armor was designed for the specific purpose of
be used against Jedi.

        I extrapolated on these ideas by saying that the race wasn't wiped out by the
Jedi and that a small group fled into unknown space where they reestablished
their reign and began preparations for their resurgence.  They formed clans
much like that of BattleTech and were based around the same ideals.  They
training is much more developed however they are hundreds of thousands of
Mandelorians where there were mere hundreds of clan members.  They have a
fascination with the number six and their whole military makeup is designed
around it.  There are six clans (storm weavers, Jedi Stalkers, .....can't
remember other four) and 6 fleets under each of those six clans and so on
until you get down to the basic 6 man unit.  Each ship in the fleet is built
out of the infamous Mandelorian Iron and is designed to be able to accomplish
any task assigned it (anything from invasion to space superiority).
        Ground based warfare is based around the Battlemechs, armored personnel
carriers, and shock troops who all wear the armor as well.  They believe in
the system of honor and only those who are honorable are given respect and
curtosies (i.e.  Won't kill them or will allow them safe passage for
diplomatic means).
        It has been 22 years after the Fall of Endor and now they have decided they
want their chunk of the galaxy back.  They are organized under a new, more
powerful, and organized sith and have begun a full out invasion of the New
Republic, Empire, and other allies.
           If you would like any other info about this campaign or the ideas I
have designed around the information I found.  Just e-mail me with the
specific question.
