Great Clan Wars

The Great Clan Wars were a series of Mandalorian inter-clan conflicts that engulfed the planet Mandalore over a decade prior to the Clone Wars. The civil war arose from a schism in the clans that stemmed from a fundamental difference in ideology over the Mandalorians' place in the greater galaxy, which eventually escalated into full-scale hostilities. Clans and even families found themselves at odds, sparking a number of battles that devastated the Mandalorian homeworld. Death Watch, a splinter group founded and led by Tor Vizsla, advocated that the Mandalorians return to their savage roots as raiders and brigands and intended to topple the dominant New Mandalorian government. They were opposed by the True Mandalorians — an alliance of several Mandalorian clans — who believed that the Mandalorians should act with honor and respect of the New Mandalorian rule.
As the civil war ravaged Mandalore and its clans, the New Mandalorians gained a new leader: Duchess Satine Kryze, after her father, Duke Adonai Kryze of Clan Kryze, was assassinated by bounty hunters whom Death Watch had hired. Following the Duke's death, leadership on the warfront went to Count Drezden of Clan Ordo. After the end of the war, the charismatic Satine Kryze convinced most of the quarreling clan leaders and warriors to embrace pacifism. However, in her effort to ensure peace remained permanently, she ordered for the exile of any clans who declined to embrace pacifism, which was seen as a controversial decision by many, including her sister. Nevertheless Kryze ushered in a new age of peace and prosperity to Mandalore, while the Death Watch survived into the time of the Clone Wars, never relenting in its campaign to oust Kryze and her regime.
