Mission to Mandalore

+ Bo-Katan Kryze is given the Darksaber and Mandalore's Mask and claims the title of Mandalore
	+ The Alliance of Mandalore is formed

The **Mission to Mandalore** was a mission led by the Mandalorian rebel Sabine Wren around 1 BBY during the Mandalorian Civil War to rescue her father Alrich Wren from the Galactic Empire on the planet Mandalore. Clan Wren managed to rescue Alrich with the assistance of Clans Kryze and Ordo, the Spectres, the Mantis Crew, Jedi Knight Jarik Shan, and his adopted daughter Mara Jade. Imperial Governor Tiber Saxon consequently responded by unleashing the Arc Pulse Generator — known informally as the *Duchess* — against the forces Clan Wren and Ordo, killing many. Seeking atonement for her role in creating the superweapon, Sabine led the resistance on a mission to infiltrate Saxon’s Star Destroyer, which was berthed above the capital Sundari. Despite being ambushed by Saxon’s forces, the resistance managed to destroy the superweapon and Saxon’s flagship. Following the operation, Lady Bo-Katan Kryze inherited the Darksaber and Mandalore's Mask, ascending as the new Mandalore, as well as named Shan as the first Mandalorian Jedi after Tarre Vizsla, finally ending the cultural hatred of the Mandalorians against the Shan family.

Kiros

**Kiros** was an idyllic world filled with vast green valleys and flowing waterfalls located in the galaxy’s Expansion Region. The world was host to 50,000 Togruta colonists. The planet was ruled by Governor Gupat Roshti, who was contacted by Master Yoda just prior to the Separatist occupation of Kiros during the Clone Wars.

Count Dooku approached the Governor to allow the Separatists to move the population to a secure location until the end of the War while they established a base there. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, Kenobi’s apprentice Jarik Shan, Clone Commander Cody, and Clone Captain Rex later fought a battle on Kiros, where they liberated the planet, but discovered the entire population had been taken away by the slaver kingdom of Zygerria. After a battle at Kadavo had ended and the Zygerrian slave processing facility was destroyed, the former captives were returned to Kiros, to rebuild their society and join the Galactic Republic.
Mari Kosan

> "Looks like a lot more than they've sent before. We must really be getting to them."
> ― Mari Kosan
>
>

**Mari Kosan** was a human female resistance fighter who served as a Lieutenant in Saw Gerrera's Partisans. Kosan assisted with Gerrera’s mission to disrupt Imperial supply lines on Kashyyyk, and wished to stay to assist the native Wookiees. When the Empire struck back at the Partisans, Gerrera felt staying on Kashyyyk was too risky, while Kosan felt the Partisans needed to protect the Wookiee resistance group. During this time, she met former Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis, whom she later directed to Chieftain Tarfful in his quest. Near the beginning of the Galactic Civil War, Kosan and the Kashyyyk resistance suffered heavy casualties in a reprisal by the Empire's 212th Attack Battalion led by General Kahdah and Clone Commander Cody; consequently the Alliance to Restore the Republic deployed a force of shock troops as reinforcements.

Owen Lars

**Owen Lars** was a human male from the desert planet Tatooine who worked as a moisture farmer during the rise of the Galactic Empire. Born to Aika and Cliegg Lars in 52 BBY during the Age of the Galactic Republic, he became the stepbrother of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker when Cliegg married Anakin's mother Shmi Skywalker. In 22 BBY, Shmi was killed by Tusken Raiders, and Cliegg passed away soon after. Lars married his girlfriend Beru Whitesun, and they toiled to maintain the homestead.

In 19 BBY, Lars and his wife were contacted by Skywalker's Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Jarik Shan, and they were tasked with caring for Skywalker's infant son Luke. Lars believed that Skywalker had died due to his role as a Jedi, so to protect Luke, the farmer forbade Kenobi from visiting or training the boy. In the following years, Lars prevented Luke from knowing the truth about his father, and kept the boy busy with farm work.

In 0 BBY, Lars and Luke purchased the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, the latter of who, unbeknownst to them, possessed stolen plans for the Death Star, an Imperial superweapon. Imperial sandtroopers tracked the droids to the Lars homestead, where they interrogated and murdered both him and his wife. When Luke discovered that his family had been killed, he left Tatooine with Kenobi and Shan's adopted daughter Mara Jade to train as a Jedi, joining the Alliance to Restore the Republic and destroying the Death Star in the Battle of Yavin.

Mandalore (title)

## Mandalore

*Mand'alor*

> *"Mandalore is the name we give to our leader. Becoming Mandalore is the greatest honor any Mandalorian could aspire to."*
>
> ―Canderous Ordo, "Mandalore the Preserver"

**Mandalore** was the Basic transliteration of the title used by the supreme leader of the Mandalorian people and culture. In its truest, native rendering as ***Mand'alor***, the title meant "sole ruler" in the Mandalorian language of *Mando'a*. Originating with Mandalore the First, the mythic leader of the Taung warriors who went on to become the first Mandalorians, *Mand'alor* became the title passed down for use by the subsequent leaders of the people for generations after. Functioning as a combination of both king and warrior general, the *Mand'alor* was the closest to a head of state the widespread Mandalorian clans possessed, and in addition to holding the secondary title of *Al'Ori'Ramikade*—"Commander of Supercommandos"—*Mand'alor* was the *de facto* ruler of the Mandalorians' conquered home planet, the eponymous Outer Rim world of Mandalore. Outsiders to the Mandalorian culture often respectfully addressed the Mandalorian leader as **Lord Mandalore**. The importance of the *Mand'alor* was reflected in the six tenets that outlined Mandalorian culture, the *Resol'nare*, one of which dictated that a Mandalorian rally to the Mand'alor when called upon.

For years, the position of *Mand'alor* was traditionally symbolized by the passing of the mask of Mandalore upon the death of the previous owner, but in later times this custom had faded into antiquity, and new Mandalores needed only the support of the people to ascend to the role. Numerous Mandalores also took to adapting descriptive epithets, in order to distinguish themselves from those who came before and after. Following the foundation of the New Mandalorians, the pacifist sect rejected the authority of the clan-chosen Mandalores, and instead appointed their own leaders in opposition to those who ruled the warrior clans. The Death Watch, in turn, appointed their own Secret Mandalores in opposition to both the New Mandalorians and the unaffiliated warrior clans. During this period of social division in the Mandalorian culture, the traditionally chosen *Mand'alor* of the clans became known as the "**True Mandalore**", as a means of countering the claims of the New Mandalorian and Death Watch leaders. Throughout the history of the galaxy, at least twenty-three Mandalorians declared themselves *Mand'alor*, and met with varied degrees of success in their attempts to lead the Mandalorian people.
Ord Mantell

**Ord Mantell** was a mountainous planet located in the Bright Jewel system of the galaxy's Mid Rim. Housing a base of operations for the Black Sun crime syndicate in the twilight of the Galactic Republic, the planet was attacked by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars for the Black Sun's alliance with the renegade Sith Lord Maul. Following the subsequent rise of the Galactic Empire, Ord Mantell was subject to Imperial control early into the New Order's reign — though public enemies such as Clone Force 99 and Jedi Knight Jarik Shan were little deterred from visiting — and the planet remained a site of crime through the Galactic Civil War, when Han Solo narrowly escaped a bounty hunter seeking to deliver the rebel smuggler to the crime lord Jabba the Hutt.

Matthenus Rau

> *"That's because my father, knew Jarik Shan's... father."*
>
> ―Fenn Rau, to Sabine and Ezra

**Matthenus Rau** was a Mandalorian human male who led the Mandalorian Protectors several years before the Clone Wars during the Mandalorian Civil War, and is the father of Fenn Rau. In 37 BBY, Rau attended the annual tournament held each year by Clan Ordo and was impressed by Marcus Sohl's battle prowess in the arena.

Mission to the Jedi Temple

### Objective

* Reconfigure the coded message to warn any surviving Jedi away from the Jedi Temple
* Investigate the eradication of the Jedi Order

### Outcome

* Jedi Order victory
	+ Coded beacon successfully reconfigured to warn surviving Jedi to go into hiding
	+ Jedi discover of Anakin Skywalker's fall to the dark side and the identity of Darth Sidious

## Casualties

Immediately following Order 66, which saw the massive execution of Jedi across the galaxy, surviving Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda along with Kenobi's apprentice Jarik Shan conducted an **infiltration** of the fallen Jedi Temple on Coruscant, which had been attacked by Anakin Skywalker, Kenobi's former Padawan, who had recently succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force and taken the name Darth Vader. Kenobi and Yoda were unaware of Skywalker’s fall — unlike Shan, who refused to divulge the event — or the cause of Order 66, and planned to return to the Temple to investigate, as well as deactivate an emergency beacon that Vader activated to lure surviving Jedi into a trap.

At the Temple, occupied by clone troopers, Kenobi, Shan, and Yoda encountered and fought Decoy Squad Five, a clone squad whose members had been disguised as Jedi to lure any stragglers into a trap. Fighting more clones at a surface entrance and on their way up to the security station, they discovered the corpses of their Jedi brethren and noticed that several had been killed by lightsaber strikes, but had little time to mourn as they hid from the thousands of clone troopers at the Temple.

After reaching the security station, Shan deactivated the beacon and recorded a message of his Master cautioning surviving Jedi to stay hidden, implanting a program to keep the message inside of the archives and some holocrons, after which Kenobi examined the security holograms to discover who had invaded the temple. To his horror, Kenobi discovered Skywalker’s betrayal with a recording of him personally leading the attack on the temple and fighting Shan. With their knowledge, Kenobi, Shan, and Yoda set out to destroy the Sith perpetrators of the Jedi massacre, with Yoda fighting Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious in the Senate Building on Coruscant, while Kenobi and Shan confronted Vader on the planet Mustafar.

Lars Homestead

The **Lars Homestead**, also known as the **Lars family moisture farm**, the **Skywalker homestead**, or the **Skywalker farm**, was a moisture farm on the Outer Rim desert planet of Tatooine owned and operated by the Lars family during the rise of the Galactic Empire. Shortly before the Clone Wars, Cliegg Lars lived on the property with his second wife Shmi Skywalker Lars and son Owen. Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker visited the farm and learned of his step-family before discovering that his mother had been captured and, ultimately, killed by Tusken Raiders. After Skywalker fell to the dark side of the Force and helped destroy the Jedi Order at the end of the Clone Wars, his former Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Jarik Shan took Skywalker’s son Luke to the Lars homestead, where the boy was raised by Owen and his wife Beru. Nearly two decades later, the farm was destroyed and Owen and Beru were killed by Imperial sandtroopers, who were searching for the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, driving Luke to train as a Jedi under the tutelage of Kenobi and enter the Rebellion.

**Madame B.** was a human female responsible for training female assassins as part of the Red Room program, which resulted in the training of deadly killers like Natasha Romanoff. Madame B. believed she could be the next Black Widow assassin and ensured she received the best training, although the regimen almost broke Romanoff. Eventually, Madame B. felt she was ready for the graduation ceremony, though while Romanoff began purposefully failing her tests Madame B. saw through her attempts to fail and escape, and thus put her through the ceremony, sterilizing her. Romanoff went on to become one of the most feared assassins in Russia until she eventually switched sides and began working for S.H.I.E.L.D..

> — Malius Ando to Rylla Tann, on his Jedi clan
>

**Malius Ando** was a Force-sensitive human male who served the Jedi Order in the waning years of the Galactic Republic. In the final days of the Clone Wars, Ando took on a young Twi'lek named Rylla Tann as his new Padawan, though the mentorship would last very briefly, as their first deployment saw their clone troopers ordered by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine to execute Order 66. Ando fought against Commander Santos and his troopers but was eventually defeated, and his apprentice watched from inside a blocked tunnel as he was executed by Santos. However, his sacrifice enabled Tann to escape the Great Jedi Purge, with Tann turning to the lifestyle of a bounty hunter, taking jobs across the galaxy with her partner and friend Hayden Belhol.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

The ***Marvel Cinematic Universe*** *(also referred to as the MCU)* is is a media franchise created by Marvel Studios, set primarily in a shared universe designated as the reality **Earth-199999** within Marvel's multiverse system, with some installments also set in adjacents or branching realities. Much of the Marvel brand was popularized American comic book writer, editor, publisher, and producer, Stan Lee.

Starting with "Iron Man", the franchise is comprised mainly of films independently made by Marvel Studios, that are primarily set within this same universe, much like Marvel has done with their comics. The franchise includes a series of short films, called Marvel One-Shots, launched with each film's Blu-ray release starting with "Thor" and finishing with "Thor: The Dark World". Starting with "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", the franchise expanded into television series, including series premiered on the ABC and Freeform channels, and on the Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ streaming platforms.

The franchise also includes the news program WHiH Newsfront and the digital series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot. Other contents include a series of tie-in comics and video games, released as promotional material to the films, all set within the same reality. Some of them, however, especially video games, do not match the events featured in other products following their release and are classified as non-canonical in this universe.

*[ Above paragraphs source: Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki ]*

## **Integration into the Shaniverse**

Within the Shaniverse the MCU is also a major component, although not nearly as much as the Star Wars franchise. As the **MCU** is still expanding with future movie releases each year, the only time period of storylines that will be considered *canon* to the Shaniverse are those released as a part of the "Infinity Saga", which is comprised of the twenty three films released from 2008 through 2019, as well as any television series or other media that takes place during that time in-universe. This is based on personal preference of the Shaniverse author, as well as to keep things more simple.

Exceptions to this include the upcoming 2020 movie "Black Widow", which is set between "Captain America: Civil War" and "Avengers: Infinity War". Some elements of the Infinity Saga which will not be considered canon to the Shaniverse is the character of "Captain Marvel" and the movie "Spider-Man: Far From Home". Because of the inclusion of other franchises beyond the MCU, Captain Marvel's character would not work with the story, whilst Spider-Man: Far From Home would not carry any significance to the story told in the Shaniverse, as the overall main focus is of the OC character Jarik Shan.

Stan Lee, the primary creative leader of Marvel for decades, also has cameo appearances in the Shaniverse.
Orion

> "Hear me, Darkseid! In the end it shall be you and I! Power against power! Your death — or mine!"
> — Orion
>
>

**Orion** was a New God male warrior and the son of the Apokoliptian tyrant Darkseid and Tigra. As part of the Pact to temporarily cease the Great Clash between Apokolips and New Genesis, Orion was surrendered to the care of Highfather Izaya, the ruler of New Genesis, during which he was raised to value benevolence and freedom. Nevertheless, Orion inherited his parents' belligerence, which he directed through training in combat, growing to be a daunting warrior in adulthood dubbed the "**Dog of War**."
Odinforce

The **Odinforce**, also known as the **Power of the Allfather**, was a powerful source of mystical energy utilized by the Kings of Asgard, most notably by Odin. The Odinforce originates from Yggdrasil, also known as the World Tree, and flows all throughout the Nine Realms, from which the Kings of Asgard are able to tap into its power, granting them tremendous powers. While on Asgard, a wielder of the Odinforce became nigh-omnipotent, and very hard to kill. The spear Gungnir, which is wielded by the Kings, is also powered by the Odinforce.

As perhaps the most notable user of the Odinforce, Odin was considered to be the most powerful of all of Asgard's kings. With the Odinforce, he was able to defeat the Fire Demon Surtur before the giant could destroy Asgard, and then subsequently took his source of power, the Eternal Flame, away from him.
Jeffren Brek

**Jeffren Brek** was a human male spy who served in the Imperial Security Bureau. Having received training from Colonel Yularen himself, Brek became a very skilled agent within the ISB, earning the nickname the **Hound of Yularen**. During his service to the Empire Brek often found himself in friendly competition against fellow operative Alexsandr Kallus.

**Kylo Ren** was a Force-sensitive human male who rose to power as the leader of the Knights of Ren sometime after the fall of the Galactic Empire. As the apprentice of Supreme Leader Snoke, Ren was trained vigorously as a practitioner of the dark side of the Force, and became a ruthless warlord in service to the First Order, working closely alongside other high-ranking officers such as General Armitage Hux and Captain Phasma.

In the final year of the Clone Wars, Jedi Padawan Jarik Shan experienced a vision of Kylo Ren. Shan later confronted Snoke about Ren during his encounter with him in the World Between Worlds, though Snoke responded saying he did not know who he was.

The Order was founded by Tari Darkspanner, who discovered records of Revan on Korriban while training to be Sith in the decades before the Empire's Cold War with the Galactic Republic, and the Order was headquartered in a compound in the jungles of the planet Dromund Kaas. However, Revan himself took control of the Order during the Galactic War and transformed it into a fanatical cult with members in the upper echelons of both the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire.

Oni

The **Oni**, also referred to as the **Bringers of Doom**, were a race of demonic beings led by the Omega that sought to bring destruction across all of creation and conquer the Force itself. Created by the Darkness itself, of which they directly served, the Oni were the first evil to ever come into existence across the Sixteen Realms, spreading corruption and darkness in their wake. They encountered resistance, however, in the form of the lion turtles, dragons, and spirits, most notably led by Raava and Vaatu, the twin spirits of light and darkness respectively; even the Ones became involved. At the end of their war it was presumed that the Oni were all defeated, though they had mysteriously disappeared from the realms with no trace of their whereabouts.

Miko Nakadai was a human female from the planet Earth and a member of Team Prime during the 21st century.

She quickly fell in love with American pop culture and was always searching for thrills. Upon her introduction to the Autobots, this attitude increased drastically, much to the frustration of her peers, particularly Jack Darby and Alexandra Daniels. Despite her rash behavior, Nakadai was very loyal to her close friends and committed to their safety.

The **Light**, also known as the **Sky** was a cosmic paracausal force inimical to the Darkness theorized to have existed since before the beginning of time. It was fundamentally driven to increase the complexity and diversity of entities within the universe and, in particular, encourage the growth of new lifeforms. One of the most notable and intrinsic embodiments of the Light across the cosmos was an entity known best as the Traveler. Through the efforts of the Traveler, the Light touched many worlds and species across the Multiverse, showering them with gifts and prosperity, yet never communicating with them.

During the Legacy Era, the Traveler empowered created the Ghosts, sapient machines that empowered many individuals who would become the Guardians. The Guardians wielded incredible powers of the Light to battle against enemies of humanity and the Last City.

Metron

**Metron** was a male New God and one of the greatest scientific minds from New Genesis. Dedicating his life to uncovering scientific knowledge and mysteries of every corner in the cosmos, Metron invented the Mobius Chair, a vehicle capable of generating Boom Tubes, a method of transportation through vast distances of space, long periods of time, and even into alternate dimensions — though at the cost of sharing a similar invention with the Apokoliptian despot Darkseid, whose reserves of mysterious "X-Element" he required to construct such machinery.

Initially claiming neutrality when Darkseid instigated the Great Clash with New Genesis, the horrors that followed eventually hardened his opposition towards Darkseid and influenced him to facilitate a truce by suggesting the Pact, in which Darkseid and Izaya — the Highfather and ruler of New Genesis — would exchange care of their respective sons, Orion and Scott. Accompanying Orion with his friend Solis in a few adventures throughout their youth, Metron also tended to Scott several times, directing him to Himon, a fellow New Genesisian scientist and inventor who also regretted enabling Darkseid's rise to power in the past and worked covertly to undermine the tyrant's rule.
Lowbacca

**Lowbacca** was a Force-sensitive Wookiee male who lived on Kashyyyk during the Imperial Era, and was later initiated into the New Jedi Order by the time of the New Republic.

Last War

The **Last War** was a destructive conflict that occurred at least 20,000 years prior to the destruction of Krypton. It took place in the Milky Way galaxy, most notably between Krypton and Cybertron. The outbreak of the war was the result of a genetic experiment by the Kryptonian scientist, Bertron, which resulted in a monstrous deformity with unrivaled power. In their attempts to contain the deformity, which they called Doomsday, Krypton's moon Wegthor was shattered. Afterwards, Doomsday eventually made his way to the planet Cybertron where, caught off guard and unable to combat the powerful creature, the Autobots and Decepticons were forced to halt their war for the first, and only, time in their history. Working together, both races utilized a mix of Kryptonian and Cybertronian technology to imprison Doomsday in the Phantom Zone, thus bringing an end to the conflict.
Kuat

**Kuat** was a vital shipbuilding and industrial planet located in the Kuat system of the galaxy’s Core Worlds region. Known for the prestigious Kuat Drive Yards corporation and its large shipyards, the planet notably produced warships for both the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire.

Narzuc, the Hunter

> "You cannot stand against my God! He will destroy all, and I will see to it his glory is achieved!"
> — Narzuc, the Hunter
>
>

**Narzuc, the Hunter** was a Yuuzhan Vong Knight and a member of the Blood of Oryx sect. A unique Knight among the Hive, Narzuc rose through the ranks of his caste to become a servant of Oryx, the Taken King. He was often sent to track and hunt down enemies who attempted to flee from Oryx's fleet in order to ensure their demise.

In 2 BBY, Oryx sent Narzuc, along with a force of Hive, to destroy three Autobots who were attempting to leave the Andromeda galaxy and return to Cybertron. When the Autobots fled to the planet Atollon, Narzuc's forces engaged in a battle against them and the rebels of Phoenix Cell. Narzuc personally fought against the Jedi Knight Jarik Shan, but was ultimately killed during the ensuing battle.

## **Powers and abilities**

As a Knight, Narzuc was a member of the Warrior caste of the Yuuzhan Vong, and therefore a formidable soldier in their ranks. Unlike most members of his caste, Narzuc possessed incredible strength that made him more dangerous than the average Knight. He was easily stronger than a Wookiee or Trandoshan, both of whom are considered to be the physically strongest sentient races in the Andromeda galaxy.

Like all Yuuzhan Vong, Narzuc was immune to the Force, as any Force-based attack directed at him had very little effect. Narzuc was capable of teleporting himself a short distance through the use of Hive magic, appearing out of a pillar of green fire; his preferred weapon in combat was a type of sword known as a Hive Cleaver. Narzuc was a proficient swordsman, capable of inflicting great damage against his opponents. However, he was still bested in sword combat by the much more skilled Jarik Shan.
