Clan Kurāken

**Clan Kurāken**, also known as the **Kurāken Clan**, was a Mandalorian Clan of House Vizsla. Led by Sakura Kurāken, the controlled the planet Tracyn, with the support of the Galactic Empire, when Viceroy Gar Saxon died and sparked the Civil War Between Clans Saxon and Wren, Kurāken remained neutral, though at the end of the conflict they declared for Mand'alor Bo-Katan Kryze, destroying the only Imperial Holdfast on their Planet in their Mand'alors name, putting the less than five-hundred Imperials to the Sword in a show of good faith, the Clan having been loyal to the Shadow Collective and Empire for almost twenty years, and wanting to make sure their new Mand'alor knew where their loyalties lay.

## History

### Before the Clone Wars

Clan Kurāken fought during the civil wars which plagued Mandalore before the rise of the New Mandalorians, allying themselves with both the Old and New Mandalorians, the Clan being split in the age of strife. Though by the end of the Civil War, half of the clan was exiled to Concordia alongside the rest of the Warriors.

### During the Clone Wars

During the Clone Wars a large portion of Clan Kurāken aligned themselves with Pre Vizsla's Death Watch, though some later abandoned him after Count Dooku's betrayal. The remainder, numbering near fifteen Warriors fought with Vizsla on Carlac, and through his operations with Maul and Savage Oppress until Pre Vizsla's death at the hands of Maul.

#### Shadow Collective

With Mauls declaration of himself as leader of Death Watch after defeating Pre Vizsla in single combat, most of the Clan Kaarak Death Watch members joined with the Sith Lord, becoming some of the first Super Commandos as well as being some of the first Clans to renounce the New Mandalorian ways and take up the way of the Mandalore once more, and acting as enforcers during Mauls reign, with most of them dying during the Siege of Mandalore in the process of storming the Republic LAATs.

#### Mandalorian Resistance

With Mauls ascendance, some of the Clan Kaarak Death Watch sided with Lady Bo-Katan Kryze in the Civil War, fighting and dying on Mandalore in the early days of Maul's reign, being struck down by their own Clan members on a landing platform on the outskirts of Sundari.

### Under the Empire

Following the decimation of the Tokugawa Clan by the Galactic Empire and Gar Saxon's Super Commandos use of 'The Duchess' Arc Pulse Generator. Clan Kurāken took in the last known survivor of Tokugawa, a young girl by the name of Yui Tokugawa. They raised her among their own children, treating her like any other foundling of Mandalore. Giving her the name Yui Kurāken for the duration of her fosterhood with the clan.

Clan Kurāken swore fealty to Viceroy Gar Saxon and his Clan after the Empire came to Mandalore, serving the Empire faithfully for seventeen years, until the third Mandalorian Civil War in a century ignited. In this conflict the Kurāken's remained neutral until the very last moment, once Tiber Saxon was killed aboard his Star Destroyer above Sundari, the Kurāken's finally chose a side, slaughtering the Imperial Garrison on Tracyn to the last man with their ward the young Yui Tokugawa joining them in the carnage, before joining Lady Bo-Katan's forces to drive the remnants of Saxon's Imperials off of Mandalore.

### Mandalore liberated

With the liberation of Mandalore, Clan Kurāken has grown their territory on Tracyn and expanded their forges. Preparing themselves for War, and readying themselves to manufacture arms for it. These expansions would be completed by 0 BBY, and with them the Kurāken Clan began to mass-produce large quantities of Mandalorian Armour, and melee weapons. Leaving Starships and Starfighters to the many ShipWrights in the Sector, and the blasters to MandalTech while they made ready to arm and armour the tens of thousands of Mandalorian initiates joining the Mandalorian Clans as Warriors.

## Organization

**Clan Kurāken** organizes itself much like other clans, their leader by the title of Highlord rules over the Clan through fear and power. Being the most capable among those of the Clan, through him the Clans Ascendants rule over individual Clan Strongholds, chief among them being the Clans main base on Mandalore, located in the heart of the former New Mandalorian capital city of Sundari.

## Equipment

**Clan Kurāken** made use of a wide variety of equipment, both Ancient and Contemporary. Among them; three-dozen Fang-class Starfighters, and a Harrower-class Dreadnought are the pride of their naval arsenal. The Clans ground arsenal is quite limited, only Speeders and Swoop Bikes for transport. Though the Mandalorians themselves make up for this, no better or worse trained than any other Son or Daughter of Mandalore. A great number of them armed with the popular WESTAR-35 blaster pistols and the ubiquitous Carbine of the same make.
