Mandalorian Wars

[Miltiades]

I don't know much about the Mandalorian Wars, except what's being told in K1 and 2, so is there any other info about the Mandalorian Wars (that is reliable) and were can I find it?

 

Second, when was the time there were no Mandalorians alive or are there still alive (I mean, after the Galactic Empire)?

 

Another question, there's a lot of info that you can read in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game documents. Is the info correct in those doc's?

Question one: (This is from www.Wikipiedia.com)

Nearly 4,000 years before the events of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, a warrior race known as the Mandalorians began raiding worlds on the edge of the galaxy. The Jedi Order insisted on staying out of the war, feeling that the true threat had not yet revealed itself. Many younger Jedi were unwilling to wait as the Mandalorians assaulted planet after planet, and so Revan and his friend Malak organized a force of rebellious Jedi Knights to assist the Republic in defeating the Mandalorians. Many Jedi felt inspired by the charismatic Revan and so they joined him. The Mandalorians expected Master Kavar to lead the battle instead of him. Revan proved to be not only one of the most powerful Jedi in history, but also a master tactician. He was willing to sacrifice entire planets so as to make the most important ones impenetrable. And despite taking massive casualties (sometimes as many as ten Republic soldiers for every Mandalorian), Revan was consistently able to outmaneuver and overwhelm the enemy both in space and on the ground.

 

The final battle of the war took place at Malachor V. Revan sent his least loyal troops to lure the remnants of the Mandalorian fleet there, where a mass shadow generator had been placed. The general overseeing its use was the Jedi Exile, who gave the order to activate it. The result nearly destroyed the planet. Few on either side survived. Around the conclusion of the Mandalorian Wars, Revan fought Mandalore (the Mandalorian leader) in a grueling battle. Revan won, killing Mandalore, and thus struck a crippling blow to the Mandalorian war effort.

 

At Malachor V, Revan discovered the Trayus Academy, where he was corrupted by the teachings of the Sith. The planet itself was an ancient storehouse of the Sith; steeped in a darkness so great that it almost destroyed Revan. He was able to survive this darkness only by giving into the dark side of the Force. Taking the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith, he began to corrupt other Jedi easily.

 

As for the second question, at the end of the game someone will mention that the last person to wear Mandolorian armour will be killed by a Jedi. This hints to Mace Windu killing Jango in Episode 2.

But the Mandalorians of the time weren't a race. they were people following the example set by the true Mandalorians who, forty years before Kotor, tried to carve out their own empire and ended up working for Ulic Qel-Droma and fighting in the Sith war. The Mandalorians were for the most part stranded on Duxn at the end of the Sith War, thus if the Kotor Mandalorian wars began at Duxn it wouldn't be the Mandalorians who started the war it'd have to be the republic and the Mandalorians would retaliate using capured ships and leftover weapons from the Sith war.

Briefly, the Mandalorians were a race who enjoyed fighting. They were warriors who wanted to test themselves against the Republic which led to the Mandalorian wars.

 

Go to Wikipedia.com and check there. The description is very detailed.
