Anti - Mandalore The " Anti - Mandalore " was the term used by the radical Mandalorian splinter group known as Death Watch , to describe the leader of the pacifistic New Mandalorians . Both groups put forward their own claimants to the title of " Mand ' alor " — the traditional ruler of the Mandalorian people — in opposition to the " Mand ' alor " chosen by the traditional warrior clans , with Death Watch following their own Secret Mandalore . Notable " Anti - Mandalores " . Satine Kryze . The daughter of the Duke Adonai of Clan Kryze , Satine Kryze hailed from the planet Kalevala . During the Great Clan Wars , as the Death Watch attempted to overthrow the New Mandalorian regime in a bloody civil war , Kryze ' s father sent her away to Coruscant — capital world of the Galactic Republic — in order to gain an education in diplomacy and statecraft , and be free of the violence that would eventually claim the clan leader ' s life . When Kryze returned to the Mandalore system , she did so under the protection of Jedi Master Qui - Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi - Wan Kenobi ; for months , Kryze was under constant threat from the Death Watch and its allies , but as time went on , Kryze was able to use the skills she had learned and her own charisma to rally war - weary chieftains to the New Mandalorian cause and bring about peace . Following the end of the Great Clan Wars , Kryze was appointed " Mand ' alor " by the New Mandalorian people , in opposition to Jango Fett , who held claim to the title among the warrior clans , and Death Watch ' s Secret Mandalore , Tor Vizsla . As " Mand ' alor " of the New Mandalorians , Kryze set about rebuilding the damage incurred to Mandalore during the Great Clan Wars , leading New Mandalorian society and its capital city Sundari to prosperity . Upon the outbreak of the Clone Wars , Kryze strove to ensure Mandalore would remain neutral in the conflict , though the peace she had made came under siege by the re - emergence of the Death Watch . Though Kryze was able to overcome their initial schemes and attempts on her life to solidify Mandalore ' s neutrality , as the Clone Wars went on , her rule was marred with severe food shortages , a rise in corruption , and mass poisonings throughout New Mandalorian territory as a result of toxin - laced tea imported by Moogan smugglers . In 20 BBY , Death Watch allied with the criminal contingent known as the Shadow Collective to bring down the New Mandalorians : public opinion swayed against Kryze as offworld gangsters from Black Sun to the Hutt Cartel mercilessly gunned down civilians and caused panic , only for the Death Watch to arrive and act as saviors of the people , defeating and arresting their secret allies in a show of apparent heroism . With the support of her people gone , Kryze was deposed and imprisoned , replaced by Pre Vizsla , the Death Watch ' s latest Secret Mandalore . Weeks later , when her old friend Obi - Wan Kenobi came to Mandalore in order to rescue Kryze from prison , she was murdered before the Jedi Master ' s eyes by the Sith Lord Darth Maul , who had been in collusion with Vizsla during his coup and sought to pain Kenobi with his one - time lover ' s death .
