Mandalorians

After Mandalore Boba Fett died of Natural causes, many believed that the clans would seperate, however to the surprise of many, His granddaughter, Mirta Gev managed to earn enough support from the various Chieftains, that she was able to get herself elected as her grandfather's Successor, dispite Mandalores traditionally not being related to their direct successor.

## Territory

Although the Mandalorians have culture and activity across the known galaxy their main activty is limited to the borders of the Mandalore Sector, however for the first time in generations the capital of the sector is not in fact the planet Mandalore, although it is still incredibly vital to both their culture and industry, but instead the planet Concord Dawn serves as their capital due to the Nanovirus unleashed almost a decade ago that prevents Fett and his descendants from ever returning to Mandalore.

## Organization.

### Clans

The dominant group in Mandalorian society, is the Clan, consisting of as few as a dozen to some five hundred adult Mandalorians (smaller or larger clans do also exist but they are rare and especially large ones tend to fracture into smaller clans)

Each clan consists of closely related mandalorians and usually each clan has its own small home stead in addition to the ships they will maintain as their fighting force. although some clans will only leave their ships to raid enemy ships.

### Ranks

Under Mirta Gev, due to the wars raging across the galaxy, A standardized set of ranks have been enforced to aide in Mandalorian unification.

Soldiers: the most basic rank of Mandalorian, all adult members of the culture are entitled to this rank and only children are not considered soldiers.

Rally Masters: Squadron leaders and trainers, the position of Rally master is given to more senior Mandalorian who are expected to lead their charges into the front line, and more importantly make sure those charges are trained in the Mandalorian ways. In addition if a clan has multiple ships, a Rally Master is often the one appointed to command individual ships and their crews.

Field Marshal: the right hand men and women of their chieftains, a Field Marshal is chosen from a clan's forces and often is in charge of something the chieftain lacks the skills or patience for mastering but which the Field marshal has skill in, for example a Chieftain might not be skilled in ship to ship combat, so their Field Marshal might be expected to take the burden, But in larger clans a Field Marshal might command a smaller division of the clan's forces into battle for their Chieftain.

Chieftain: Every clan needs a leader, and the job of Chieftain fills that role, most but not all are the Fathers or Mothers of their clan with the other members of the clan being their children and their own families but sometimes a Chieftain will be the eldest son after his father died or retired but no matter how they became Chieftain, all members of a clan are supposed to follow them no matter what.

Mandalore: The Chieftain of Chieftains, the Commander of Super Commandos, the Messiah of the Mandalorians, the position of Mandalore is perhaps their most important rank as the Mandalore's job is to unite the clans against a common enemy, and under Mandalore Mirta Gev (Mandalore the Protector) that means just about everyone.

## Culture.

### Resol'nare

Ruling over all of Mandalorian culture, is the six tennets that together make up the code known as the Resol'nare and they are as follows:

1. Wearing Armour
2. Speaking the Language
3. Defending both ones self and your family
4. raise your children as Mandalorians
5. Contribute to the well being of the clan
6. When called upon by the Mandalore, rally to their cause.

### Mandalorian Armour

Due to how Mandalorians are a culture not just an organization, it can be hard to tell if a given individual is a Mandalorian or not, as such their armour is incredibly important to them, as it binds them all together no matter their origins, however no two suits of armour are the same, and the only things that all suits have is the distinctive T shaped Visor and it covers the full body. in addition, although Beskar, or Mandalorian iron is considered the best material to make a suit from, other materials have been used for centuries, for example Mandalores Jango, Jaster, and Boba all used a suit made from Durasteel for at least a time although when new beskar mines were found Boba received a suit of Beskar.
