Unidentified Mandalorian commander This Mandalorian Commander was a Humanoid male Mandalorian who led a small unit of Mandalorian Neo - Crusaders in the lower Shadowlands of Kashyyyk during the Jedi Civil War . His unit preyed on Wookiee hunters , cloaking themselves , waiting for the Wookiees to be disarmed before attacking them . He and his troops were killed in 3956 BBY by a redeemed Revan , formerly the Dark Lord of the Sith who initiated the war , and his companions during their quest for the Star Forge , an ancient Rakata n space station controlled by Revan ' s former Sith apprentice , Darth Malak . Biography . This Humanoid commander was the leader of a Mandalorian Neo - Crusader poacher unit that was stationed in the Shadowlands of the planet Kashyyyk during the Jedi Civil War , a conflict between the Galactic Republic and Darth Malak ' s Sith Empire . His unit used personal cloaking devices and cloaked swoop bikes to track their targets . Revan , a former Sith Lord who lost his memories when his apprentice , Darth Malak , betrayed him earlier in the war , came to Kashyyyk to find a piece of the Rakata n Star Map . The map would help him locate the Star Forge , a space station that was under Malak ' s control and capable of creating an infinite amount of ships using the energy of the dark side of the Force as its power source . When Revan and his companions entered the lower Shadowlands with the elder Jedi Jolee Bindo , they encountered a group of three Mandalorians assaulting a Wookiee named Grrrwahrr . Revan and his comrades immediately rushed to the Wookiee ' s defense , killing the Mandalorians . When Revan healed Grrrwahrr ' s injuries , the Wookiee begged Revan to avenge his hunting clan , and kill the Mandalorians . Grrrwahrr also told Revan that the Mandalorians would not attack armed targets , and requested that Revan bring him the commander ' s helmet . Revan and his companions drew the Mandalorian poachers out by hiding their weapons and entering clearings marked with Wookiee corpses . After two skirmishes , Revan retrieved a signal device belonging to a Mandalorian and located their swoop bikes . He then found a dataport in the swoop bike with instructions to insert the signal device so the swoop would start . After Revan inserted the device , the Mandalorian commander appeared with his remaining poachers . After a short battle , the Mandalorians were killed and Revan gave Grrrwahrr the commander ' s helmet as a trophy , also acting as proof that the deed was done . Personality and traits . Like many Mandalorian warriors , the commander enjoyed fighting and warfare . His decision to attack only unarmed opponents after deactivating his cloaking device were seen as acts of cowardice by the Wookiees , and his orders were even questioned by his own men . Nevertheless , he had been ordered to test the stealth field generators , and he followed the order to the letter . The commander used two vibrosword s during melee combat , and was proficient with a blaster . Behind the scenes . If the Mandalorian Canderous Ordo is in Revan ' s party at the time , the commander acknowledges , saying , " Another Mandalore , is it ? " and asks Ordo if he would " draw arms against those you should serve . " It is possible to avoid fighting the Mandalorian commander , or any of his soldiers , if Revan does not hide his and his party ' s weapons in the clearings , and fails to insert a datapad into the swoop bike . The player ' s alignment with the Force would not change . Should Revan choose to let Grrrwahrr die instead of healing him , he will not be able to fight the commander or any of the Mandalorians under his command .
