During the later years of the Great Peace of the Republic , Concord Dawn native Jaster Mereel chose to become a Journeyman Protector . A man of strong moral character , Mereel was ultimately expelled from the Protectors and exiled from Concord Dawn after he killed a corrupt superior officer . Mereel went on to join the Mandalorians , and his post as a Journeyman Protector was taken up by a farmer named Fett . Fett ' s own service came to an end when the civil war between the True Mandalorians and Death Watch came to Concord Dawn , claiming his life and that of his wife , while his eldest child was kidnapped by Death Watch and his now orphaned son , Jango , taken in and raised by Jaster Mereel as a Mandalorian . After Mereel died , Jango Fett displayed Mereel ' s Journeyman Protector sigil as a means to honor him , recording it in the manifesto he passed on to his son , Boba , and exhibiting the symbol on his personal starship . Prior to joining the " Cuy ' val Dar " — a group of veteran soldiers chosen to train the clone commandos of the nascent Grand Army of the Republic ' s special forces — Cort Davin served a period of time as a Journeyman Protector . While training clones for the Galactic Republic on Kamino , Davin was responsible for introducing the ways of the Journeyman Protectors to a number of the troopers in his charge . From Davin , clone commander Bacara learned the traditions , history , and language of the Journeyman Protectors ; Bacara came to associate heavily with the Protectors , and like them , viewed himself as a man of law and order . The clone trooper sergeant Fox of the 501st Legion also developed a fascination with the Journeyman Protectors during the course of his service to the Republic . As the Clone Wars raged on , Fox looked forward to a day when the fighting would end , aspiring to join the Protectors ' ranks following the conclusion of the war . After marrying Sintas Vel , Boba Fett gave up his life as a bounty hunter and settled down with his new family on Concord Dawn , the homeworld of both his biological and adopted grandfathers . Assuming the name of his adopted grandfather , Jaster Mereel , Fett chose to follow in his footsteps and joined the Journeyman Protectors . During his service , Fett befriended a fellow Journeyman Protector by the name of Lenovar , who grew to be a mentor to Fett . However , Lenovar later raped Sintas Vel , and Fett shot and killed Lenovar as retribution . Like his grandfather before him , history saw Fett expelled from the Journeyman Protectors and exiled from Concord Dawn for his crimes against a superior officer . Some time later , Lenovar ' s father , Concord Dawn ' s Governor Purton , sought vengeance against Fett and his family for the death of his son . After attempting to kill Fett on Sathiemon , Purton orchestrated a strike on a Concord Dawn residence owned by Sintas Vel by a team of Journeyman Protectors . Led by Captain Kaplan , the Protectors were killed during the course of the assault , while Purton himself was slain by Vel ' s ally Connor Freeman after the governor attacked her in disbelief , refusing to accept that his son had been her rapist .
