Clan Kronstadt

## History

The clan Kronstadt was a minor one, not even worth a note in most of the Mandalorians great History. With barely more than a few dozen members at a time, the clan was not powerful or potent, yet they still possessed some large and old housing on Mandalore, inherited from their fathers and mothers from a time long gone. About a century before the battle of Yavin, they had to leave the planet, taking to the stars to earn their lives as mercenaries, making a name for themselves in the process and gaining members as well as wealth enough to maintain their fleet and their households.

Sadly, the events of the clone war wouldn’t let the clan alone and well forever. The clan was mostly getting by with mercenaries' works, holding a squeletic presence on Mandalore to maintain their estates and as such, they were steering away from the pacifist policy and the civil war that had been caused by its introduction had left them largely untouched. Brutally efficient, the clan was not one to bother with a policy of pacifism at all, that being considered as a show of weakness by the leaders. Still, they had retained the teaching of the Supercommando Codex and worked diligently… until the clone war broke out. Although the demand for reliable and efficient mercenaries skyrocketed, offering a few contracts to the clan, the situation in Mandalore soon became known, and that was enough to call for a return on the ancient homes of the clan.

 They elected to do so in number, and as such had to wait for their current contracts to stop. This meant that they only found their way back home late, too late to be of any sort of help to the duchess Kryze, and instead found the planet in chaos and under the thumb of Darth Maul and the Deathwatch. The debates about what to do with such a situation were heated in the ship’s holds, but the final resolution was that no outsider should reign on Mandalore and the Mandalorians, which meant that they would have to fight Maul and its allies. They did so, fighting the Deathwatch that had offered their ancient world to a stranger, causing instability and helping the duchess get a hold of the situation again, earning a number of enemies in the rank of the Deathwatch’s clans and cooperating with the Republic when they finally arrived to turn the tide.

 With the Republic finally getting back on the planet and the duchess being brought back in power, one would have thought that the clan could rest and turn back to mercenary work… but sadly the Republic and soon to be Empire had no intention of leaving the place and its inhabitants anytime soon. This was another blow to them, as their leader had just fought an outside enemy with inside support just to find them replaced by the same type of things. After skirmishes that turned violent with the other, more pro-imperial clans, the Kronstadt finally departed once again, burning their ancestral houses behind them. They would roam the stars as mercenaries, waiting for the time to come to go and reclaim their lost planet from the Empire. With agitation brewing and clans gathering, the news of a new Mandalor have reached the ears of the clan, and their ships are setting their course to their homeworld as in the holds the soldiers prepare to rediscover their planet and reclaim their position, determined to not let any non Mandalorian dictate them the way they should live.
