Sundari

Sundari was the capital of the Outer Rim planet of Mandalore during the rise of the Galactic Empire. Constructed within a protective dome to shelter its Mandalorian residents from the harsh elements of the planet's terrain, Sundari seated the government of Duchess Satine Kryze's pacifistic New Mandalorians during the Age of the Galactic Republic — subjecting the city to frequent attacks by the reactionary Death Watch terrorist group during the Clone Wars, which advocated a revival of ancient militaristic and expansionary tendencies within Mandalorian society.
In 19 BBY, under the pretense of "liberating" Sundari from takeover by their Shadow Collective allies, Death Watch eventually succeeded in overthrowing Kryze for control over the capital, though the city transformed into a battleground as Death Watch splintered between Mandalorian Super Commandos loyal to Maul — leader of the Shadow Collective — and the Nite Owls under Bo-Katan Kryze, who failed to save the ousted Duchess — her sister — from being murdered by Maul. Following appeals from the younger Kryze, forces of the Grand Army of the Republic staged a military invasion of the capital to eliminate Maul's influence, though it preceded a military occupation which solidified as the Republic transformed into the Empire — an occupation that Kryze opposed at the cost of her position as Regent of Mandalore. As the Mandalorian Civil War eventually erupted during the early rebellion against the Galactic Empire, Sundari served as a site of the conflict when forces led by the rebel fighter Sabine Wren assaulted an Imperial Star Destroyer stationed outside the city to destroy the weapon contained within — the Arc Pulse Generator, which was capable of vaporizing any individual donning armor forged from Mandalorian beskar steel.
