Mandalorians ( Clan Ordo ) The Mandalorians under Mandalore the Preserver were a group of Mandalorian warriors reunited after the Jedi Civil War under the banner of Clan Ordo . Made up of many survivors of the Mandalorian Wars and some newcomers , the group was motivated towards reestablishing the Mandalorian identity and ultimately regain their place in the galaxy . History . After the Mandalorian Wars concluded above the planet Malachor V , the Mandalorian survivors once again scattered across space . Some returned to Mandalore and even more became soldiers for hire , becoming known as Mandalorian mercenaries . Unlike their predecessors these warriors were mostly concerned with earning a living , and as such worked without regard for honor or morals . Due to his help in defeating Darth Malak ' s Sith Empire , the warrior and mercenary Canderous Ordo received the traditional mask of Mandalore from the former Sith Lord Revan . Canderous began a quest of reuniting the surviving Mandalorians and restoring their honor . During this task , he met an ill Taung who claimed to be the true Mandalore , calling Mandalore the Ultimate a usurper with ties to the Sith . Before dying the Taung gave Canderous his armor and handed over his clan , asking Canderous to preserve the old ways . Canderous accepted the Taung ' s request , and integrated the mask into the helmet and began wearing the armor as Mandalore the Preserver . Mandalore reclaimed the abandoned outpost previously used by the Mandalorian forces during the war , and used it as headquarters for his rebuilding effort . Five years after the Jedi Civil War , Meetra Surik was forced to land on Dxun by Colonel Tobin ’ s space forces when searching for Jedi Master Kavar on Onderon . She was found by a Mandalorian sentry and taken to the Mandalorian base . Mandalore agreed to give her safe passage to Onderon if she proved herself worthy . After completing various tasks , such as stopping Tobin ’ s scouts from uncovering the base and rescuing the lost warrior Kumus , Mandalore agreed to help her . Shortly before they could leave , however , Sith assassin s , who had been tracking her progress since an incident on Peragus , attacked the base . Surik helped defend the base from the invaders before leaving . After their business on Onderon was done , Mandalore stated that he would accompany Surik on her journey for two reasons ; the Sith would eventually dominate the Mandalorians if they were allowed to defeat the Jedi once and for all , and he had been meaning to leave to search for more clans . He found such clans on Nar Shaddaa and Dantooine . When the Battle of Telos IV began , the Mandalorians helped battle against the Sith , particularly aiding in the destruction of the Ravager , Darth Nihilus ' personal vessel . Having restored much of their honor in the battle , the Mandalorians began reestablishing their place in the galaxy again . Armor and Equipment . Although Mandalore didn ' t reintroduce the same hierarchy as the Neo - Crusaders , all known warriors he managed to draw in used Neo - Crusader armor . The golden armor of the Field Marshal s was used by the drill instructor Xarga and the champion of the Battle Circle Bralor . Mandalore ' s right hand man Kelborn on the other hand used the crimson armor of the Rally Master s , as did a guard captain and a sergeant in the camp . They had at least one Basilisk war droid , which had been salvaged from the war . This type of droid resembled a starfighter more than a droid , and it was modified to allow three people to fly in it . They also frequently used a G - Type light shuttle , which Mandalore used to take Meetra Surik to Iziz . Behind the scenes . The banner used by the Mandalorians under Clan Ordo is similar to that of the Infinite Empire . This could be due to the fact that Canderous Ordo , the head of Clan Ordo , took part in the battle for the Star Forge , and he simply wanted acknowledgement of that . In " " , during the attack where Sith Assassins invade the camp , it is possible for any of the named Mandalorians ( probably besides Kelborn , who has a later role in the game ) to die as a corpse if their health is extremely low and they are damaged several times . This is highly unlikely however , as the Mandalorians will usually gang up on a single target and overwhelm it quickly .
