Imperial Super Commando The Imperial Super Commandos were Mandalorian warriors loyal to the Galactic Empire whose masterful combat skills were eclipsed only by their ruthlessness . They were led by Gar Saxon , the Imperial Viceroy of Mandalore . Under the leadership of Saxon , the Imperial Super Commando s acted as elite enforcers for the Empire , including ambushing and wiping out the Journeyman Protector s once learning they were assisting rebel ships through the Concord Dawn system , but failing to kill their leader , Fenn Rau , who was able to escape them with the help of Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger . Description . The Imperial Super Commando s sported all white Mandalorian armor made from beskar , with helmet s that had special visors and a jetpack . Their leader , Gar Saxon , had a red paint job to show his dominance . They all possessed blaster rifle s that shot yellow bolts . Their armor , while designed and manufactured on Mandalore , bore visual similarities to stormtrooper s in order to reflect their alignment with the Galactic Empire . History . Imperial Super Commandos served as the soldier s of Viceroy Gar Saxon during the Imperial Era . Saxon was the Emperor ' s Hand who ruled the Mandalorian s on behalf of the Empire . The Commando s were responsible for destroying much of the artwork created by the late Mandalorian artist Veraslayn Kast . As penance for Sabine Wren ' s escape from the Imperial Academy on Mandalore , Saxon forced Sabine ' s older brother Tristan Wren to serve in the Super Commandos in order to prove Clan Wren ' s loyalty to the Empire . In 2 BBY , Saxon and his Super Commandos massacred the Journeyman Protector s of Concord Dawn to punish their leader Fenn Rau for secretly allowing the rebellion safe passage through the Concord Dawn system . Saxon and his Super Commandos later ambushed the Spectres Sabine , Ezra Bridger , and Chopper at the Protectors Camp on the Third moon of Concord Dawn . Following a skirmish , the Spectres managed to escape with the help of Rau . Later , Tristan and his Commandos intercepted Sabine and her Jedi companions Ezra and Kanan Jarrus after they visited Krownest in order to seek Sabine ' s mother Ursa Wren ' s support for the rebellion . Viceroy Saxon and his Super Commandos later arrived to apprehend the Jedi and to destroy Clan Wren . Faced between family and Saxon , Tristan chose his family and turned on Saxon and his Super Commandos . Following a skirmish , the Wrens , their Jedi allies , and Rau managed to defeat Saxon and his Super Commandos . Saxon ' s death plunged Mandalore into a civil war . In 1 BBY , the commandos fell under the leadership of Mandalore ' s new Imperial governor , Tiber Saxon . The commandos , under Captain Hark accompanied a convoy alongside several scout trooper s to escort Alrich Wren to be executed in Sundari . The commandos fought against several members of the Spectres and Clan Wren . Saxon then deployed a new weapon against several Mandalorians under Ursa and Tristan . The weapon vaporized all the warriors except the Wrens . Saxon and Hark later set up a trap to capture the weapon ' s original creator , Sabine . At first , Saxon and Hark were able to force Sabine to enhance the weapon ' s range , but she was able to modify it to target Saxon ' s and his stormtroopers ' armor . After Sabine destroyed the weapon , Saxon was killed as his Star Destroyer blew up . Behind the scenes .
