Mandalorians are not so much a species as a creed; they are beings who live by the Mandalorian Code, which they refer to as "The Way".


Millenia ago, Mandalorians were a warlike faction bent on proving their strength and honour through combat and conquest; over the centuries they conquered their local sector of space and established their dominion, until they were confronted by the Republic and the Jedi Order. The Republic and the Jedi sought to curb the Mandalorians' expansion via conquest, and the two factions found themselves at war with one another. The Jedi, in particular, were an affront to the Mandalorian Code, with their mysterious Force abilities. Over time, the Mandalorians developed weapons and armor to fight the Jedi; a unique ore on their homeworld of Mandalore called Beskar proved resistant to the energy of the Jedi's lightsaber, a fact which turned the tide of the war in their favour.
During the High Republic Era, the Mandalorians still held to their violent ways and were a threat to the Republic. They continued to embrace their warrior culture and valued strength, honour, and combat prowess above all else. Although they were not at open war with the Republic at this time, the Mandalorians were still regarded as enemies by many in the galaxy. Some Mandalorian clans, particularly those in the Outer Rim, remained fiercely independent and were known to hire out their services as mercenaries, bounty hunters or raiders. Their skills and equipment made them a formidable foe, and they often clashed with Republic forces. Despite their contentious relationship with the Republic, the Mandalorians remained a powerful and enigmatic force in the galaxy, feared and respected by many.


Thousands of years of conflict between the Mandalorians and the Jedi followed, until the final battle on Mandalore left the surface of the planet devastated and uninhabitable outside of a handful of sealed dome cities. In the aftermath of the war, and even centuries later, the Mandalorians are made to reparations to the Republic and the worlds they attacked during the crusades, and are forced to give up much of their spacefaring technology, keeping them bound to their homeworld. Officially, Mandalore is not a part of the Republic, but they have become isolationist and hostile toward any visitors to their cities. Hatred of the Jedi in particular runs deep in Mandalorian culture.
Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian to become a Jedi, crafted the Darksaber during the Old Republic era. The weapon was passed down through Vizsla's family for generations, eventually becoming a symbol of power and leadership for the Mandalorians. However, during the fall of the Old Republic, the Darksaber was stolen from the Jedi Temple, causing a rift between the Mandalorians and the Jedi that would last for centuries. The Jedi considered the theft a grave offense and a violation of the peace between their orders, while the Mandalorians viewed the Darksaber as a symbol of their people's strength and heritage that was wrongfully taken from them. The conflict over the Darksaber would continue to simmer in the background of Mandalorian-Jedi relations, flaring up from time to time as a point of contention between the two groups.


Mandalorians who do not live on Mandalore tend to be part of small, nomadic clans in the Outer Rim; they earn their living by hiring their services out as mercenaries, bounty hunters, or raiders, but regardless of their chosen means of survival all Mandalorians abide by the Code. Hatred of the Jedi runs deep in Mandalorian culture, and most Mandalorians would not hesitate to attack a Jedi if the opportunity arose.
It is important to note that while the Mandalorian way may be practiced by any sapient species, Mandalorians are also a restricted concept that may be difficult to obtain approval for. Thus, a non-human Mandalorian might come under additional scrutiny as it is not the canonical norm.

During the High Republic Era, the Mandalorians still held to their violent ways and were a threat to the Republic. They continued to embrace their warrior culture and valued strength, honour, and combat prowess above all else. Although they were not at open war with the Republic at this time, the Mandalorians were still regarded as enemies by many in the galaxy. Some Mandalorian clans, particularly those in the Outer Rim, remained fiercely independent and were known to hire out their services as mercenaries, bounty hunters or raiders. Their skills and equipment made them a formidable foe, and they often clashed with Republic forces. Despite their contentious relationship with the Republic, the Mandalorians remained a powerful and enigmatic force in the galaxy, feared and respected by many.

Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian to become a Jedi, crafted the Darksaber during the Old Republic era. The weapon was passed down through Vizsla's family for generations, eventually becoming a symbol of power and leadership for the Mandalorians. However, during the fall of the Old Republic, the Darksaber was stolen from the Jedi Temple, causing a rift between the Mandalorians and the Jedi that would last for centuries. The Jedi considered the theft a grave offense and a violation of the peace between their orders, while the Mandalorians viewed the Darksaber as a symbol of their people's strength and heritage that was wrongfully taken from them. The conflict over the Darksaber would continue to simmer in the background of Mandalorian-Jedi relations, flaring up from time to time as a point of contention between the two groups.

It is important to note that while the Mandalorian way may be practiced by any sapient species, Mandalorians are also a restricted concept that may be difficult to obtain approval for. Thus, a non-human Mandalorian might come under additional scrutiny as it is not the canonical norm.
