Bo-Katan Kryze (RP)

## Lady Bo-Katan Kryze

**Bo-Katan Kryze** was a female Human who lived as a Mandalorian warrior during the golden years of the Galactic Republic. Amidst the The Clone Wars between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Katan pledged her loyalty first to the Mandalorian regime, under the Mand'alor Dorjander Kace, and later lead the Mandalorian splinter group known as the Nite Owls.

She was involved in the Mandalorian Invasion of 22 BBY by the Galactic Republic as the Grand Admiral of the Mandalorian Naval Forces and coordinated the defence together with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After a treaty with the Republic she gained even more power, effectively being second in command to the Mand'alor and the engine behind the Mandalorian Expansion Programm.

## Biography

### Early life

Katan was born in 41 BBY to her parents **Adonai** and **"Mommy Bo" Kryze** on Mandalore. As the fourth child of her parents and born after the adoption of her step sister **Cin'tra**, Bo's education was focused on Mandalorian Values, History and hard training for her to become a Mandalorian Warrior. After the forfeiting of royal Titles by Bo-Cin'tra and the oldest daughter **Bo-Liba** , Katan was only second in her family to her pacifist sister **Satine Kryze**.

After first the death of her father around 35 BBY and then her mother twelve years later, Satine became the new Matriarch of House Kryze as well as getting her fathers armour, which she refused to wear or reforge, dismissing it simply as an object worthy to be displayed in a museum. Bo-Katan was given the armour of her mother, which she promtly reforged to fit her own figure and liking.

### Career in the Mandalorian Empire

After the acendence of **Mand'alor Dorjander Kace**, she pledged her allegiance to him and served as second in command, and as the Grand Admiral of the new Mandalorian Navy under him. It was then when the Mandalorian Expansion Programm was initiated by Dorjander Kace after he securied a treaty with the Republic after the first Mandalorian invasion of early 21 BBY. In the following weeks of spring 21 BBY Bo-Katan brought the whole of the Mandalore Sector into their fold, and expanded further north to Dothomir, south to Venaari, east to Phindar and west to Wayland and Tari, effectively controlling most hyperlanes to the north of the galaxy.

The summer of 21 BBY saw two interesting developments happen. Suddenly Bo-Katan was challanged within her own ranks for the position as second in command of the Mand'alor by **Mandalorian Knight** **Kes Okari**. In a duel she defeated the Knight with minor injuries and held on to her rank, but after the Mand'alor left Mandalore for an unknown time he appointed Knight Okari as regent for the time being. Bo-Katan was deeply dissapointed and held a major grudge against the Knight, even though working as flawless as before for the sake of the crumbling Mandalorian Empire.

21 BBY also saw the counter Invasions of the Republic, a reaction to the intolerable growing power of Mandalore in their area. Suspecting the regent Kes Okari of treason against the empire by staging the new war, Bo-Katan stopped executing his commands and plans before completely shutting herself of and leaving, not to be seen again until after the fall of the Empire.
