Mandalore

Mandalore was a planet located in the Outer Rim Territories of the Andromeda galaxy. It was the homeworld of the Mandalorians, a fearsome warrior clan-based people. The Mandalorians once fought the Jedi and raided their Temple during the fall of the Old Republic. Wearing distinctive armor that was often made from beskar, they were feared throughout the galaxy, and once had political influence over two thousand other star systems.
Millennia of war left the planet inhospitable, forcing the Mandalorians to live within domed cities. A pacifist regime came to power at the end of these wars, led by Duchess Satine Kryze, while those who refused to give up their warrior ways were exiled. During the Clone Wars, the New Mandalorians were overthrown by the renegade Sith Lord Maul's Shadow Collective, whose forces included the Death Watch, which had reformed from warriors exiled to Mandalore's moon of Concordia. A new civil war soon erupted between the Mandalore resistance, which had the aid of the Republic, and the forces of the Shadow Collective. At the end of the war, the Republic appointed Bo-Katan Kryze, the leader of the Mandalore resistance, as Regent of Mandalore.
However, Kryze's rule soon ended by Clans Saxon and Gedyc, who betrayed Kryze and pledged loyalty to the Republic's successor state, the Galactic Empire. For his loyalty, Gar Saxon was appointed Governor of the planet, which was now under an Imperial occupation. Kryze did not accept Saxon's authority, and she became the leader of the Mandalorian resistance, fighting against the Empire and collaborating clans in the Mandalorian Civil War. In 1 BBY, Kryze came into possesion of the Darksaber from the rebel Sabine Wren and Mandalore's Mask from Count Raman Sohl of Clan Ordo, and she united the clans into an Alliance of Mandalore, becoming its ruler. The planet was heavily bombed by the Empire during the Great Purge of Mandalore however, and millions of Mandalorians were killed, with the planet thought to be uninhabitable. As of the New Republic Era, the Mandalorians were scattered throughout the galaxy, with some believing the planet to be cursed.
