Mandalorian

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.

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.
