EnderAndrew Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 she was a mandalorian slave... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> At one point in time, but in much the same way Romans called all their conquered people Romans, so did the Mandalorians. Mira wasn't a slave, and yet she plainly told you she was a Mandalorian. Was she female? Yes. Was she a Mandalorian? Yes. Mandalore himself said that Mandalorians recruited people all the time. Being a Mandalorian meant simply joining the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 she plainly told you she was a Mandalorian. no she doesn't you ask her if she's a mandalorian, and her answer is "as much as any slave becomes a mandalorian" which is not exactly the same thing... At one point in time, but in much the same way Romans called all their conquered people Romans, so did the Mandalorians. since when does it say that anywhere? and besides, conquered people and slaves are two completely different things when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

metadigital Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 ...and besides, conquered people and slaves are two completely different things <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Slaves, especially in Roman times (but also in other ancient civilisations, like the Babylonian), could become free (usually by amassing enough money to purchase their freedom from their master). Ther are countless gravestones from the Roman Republic and Empire with names that hark from conquered territories.

T'hen Malosk Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I figured they were just at home or something...the only Mandalorian I recall seeing out of armor is Canderous, who many people have a suspicion is also Mandalore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderAndrew Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Mira tells you she is a Mandalorian<{POST_SNAPBACK}> i've already proved you wrong there.... " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No you haven't. You claim that the only thing she says is that she is a slave. You are wrong as I had a lengthy conversation on the subject. Futhermore, she flat out tells you that Mandalorians call all of their conquered people Mandalorians and Mandalore tells you that he recruits people to become Mandalorians as well. The term Mandalorian does not necessitate being born on a certain planet. Mira tells you that she is a Mandalorian and she is a woman. You can't prove that wrong, because both are simple and obvious facts. But you can keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 i've said it before and i'll say it again, slaves and conquered people are two different things! and she does NOT flat out say she is mandalorian, she tells you she is a slave. being a slave does not automatically make her a mandalorian. she says "as much as any slave becomes a mandalorian" sure, in some societies slaves could earn their freedom, but there are no sources in the game to suggest that mandalorians do the same thing. so she could be implying that she became a mandalorian, or that she (like other slaves) would stay exactly that, a slave, and could never become a member of mandalorian society yes mandalorians do recruit people, but slaves aren't exactly recruits are they? i'm not saying flat out that she isn't mandalorian, i'm saying that it is never truly revealed, and that saying that she is mandalorian is an unverifiable assumption when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

julianw Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 The original Mandalorians were an alien race but the current Mandalorians are humans. They are more a culture than a species. There should be Mandalorian females. When they captured worlds, they took the people as slaves and assimilated them into Mandalorian culture, like Mira. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattleCookiee Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 As copied from Dialog.TLK: Only two groups of people would have lost family at Malachor - and Jedi don't have families. {Scoffs}As much as any slave becomes a Mandalorian. They took prisoners on every world they conquered to bolster their ranks - and they took a lot of worlds. I don't know, it didn't matter. I was too young to remember, really. Besides, Nar Shaddaa's kind of grown on me. It's as much my home as anyplace else.When I was young, yeah. They mostly used me to carry ammo packs and munitions. Toward the end of the war, they needed everyone they could get.They taught me to fight, to hunt, to survive. I was part of their squad, even when I was young. Everyone served as part of the unit, and I felt like I had a place there. {Dismissive, sad that the Mandalorians, her family, lost the war}After Malachor, it didn't really matter anymore - the Mandalorians lost. Bad. But you know that.Yeah, I know. I saw the worlds they left behind them during the war. That kind of stays with you - I haven't forgotten it. What happened at Malachor - they, they probably deserved it. {Challenging}Should I be? Maybe I should ask you if you're happy about all the Jedi who died on Malachor V.

erei33 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Well, from what i know the Mandolorians are very barbaric as previously stated. All though Canderous(Mandolare) Seemed normal, his culture is still based on war. Like a darkside Echani Mandolorians believe in battle as a form of self espression. 4000 years after Kotor Jango Fett is apparently one of the last remaining mandolorians(thats why he wears mandolorian armor ) The Mandolorians become so scarce that eventually (circa ep V and VI) they can only be found on endor in the Death Watch Bunker. Some say it is just Mandolorian ghost there. {At that time period they all wear jangos style mandolorian armor} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
