1297, Duchess Satine
Galidrong Campaign represents a turning point in Jedi Order's fall from the transcendent status of the guardian of the galaxy to the political tool of Galactic Republic. This battle took place in 44BBY, which was 12 years before Battle of Naboo occurred, or 9 years before Tang Xiao traveled to this world.
The process of this battle is actually very simple - within the sphere of influence controlled by the Mandalorian, the governor of Galidrong has actually been secretly shielding and supporting Death Watch, and at this time The civil war between True Mandalorian and Death Watch has intensified. Death Watch, who is unjust and has few helpers, is retreating steadily and can no longer resist the attack of True Mandalorian.
So the governor of Galidrong planned a conspiracy, and this conspiracy also involved Jedi Order.
In fact, in this civil war between True Mandalorian and Death Watch, Death Watch has a strong Beskar steel armor, as does True Mandalorian; Death Watch has superb combat skills and True Mandalorian also has warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles; however, True Mandalorian, as the inheritors of the Mandalorian tradition, has received widespread support for their glory and inheritance. Death Watch, who only knows how to smash, loot, kill and set fire, has no support.
So this civil war was supposed to end with Death Watch being expelled and eliminated, and True Mandalorian almost did it. They had forced Death Watch into a desperate situation, but things changed.
The governor of Galidrong first claimed that a rebellion broke out in his territory, hoping that True Mandalorian would come to solve it, so Jango-Fett led the elite of True Mandalorian to suppress the rebellion.
This is a planet-level commission. True Mandalorian, who had only a small number of people, naturally came out in full force, and Jango-Fett also believed that they could complete such a commission, which would be a good boost to the promotion and publicity of True Mandalorian among New Mandalorian.
Rebellion does exist. While Jango-Fett led the real Mandalorian warriors to clean up these rebels, Governor Galidrong ran to tell Jedi Order that the Mandalorian was murdering their 'political activists' on his planet.
Jedi Order received wrong information, and because Galactic Republic Senate has always attached great importance to political issues in the Mandalore region, the parliament also put tremendous pressure on Jedi Order.
The problems of corruption and bribery in the Central Council are unclear. In short, the result is that Jedi Order, without careful investigation, sent Master Dooku to lead a task force to solve those the Mandalorian who were murdering 'political activists'.
Master Dooku led the task force to Galidrong. At this moment, on the planet, the only ones wearing the Mandalorian's armor and fighting extremely bravely were the True Mandalorian mercenaries led by Jango-Fett.
Jedi Order believes that these True Mandalorian are those Death Watch who spread terror and death everywhere, because in the eyes of outsiders who do not know the inside story, there is actually no difference between the two - in fact, this matter must be regarded as the one who spread terror and death four thousand years ago. The great the Mandalorian Grand Strategist Cassus-Fett's pot, he unified the armor format of Mandalorian Crusaders, making most of Mandalorian warriors's armors look similar.
So, Jango-Fett was deceived by his ancestors to some extent?
There was a confrontation between the True Mandalorian mercenary soldiers led by Jango-Fett and the Jedi Order task force led by Master Dooku. During the confrontation, Governor Galidron and Galactic Senate continued to exert pressure on Master Dooku. The then Speaker Phineas-Valorum also described this incident as a very serious incident in the communication. He demanded that Master Dooku must solve the Mandalorian's problem "quickly and decisively" to avoid history repeating itself.
So Master Dooku asked Jango-Fett and others to put down their weapons and accept the investigation.
The proud True Mandalorian was naturally unwilling, so the confrontation between the two sides quickly evolved into an armed conflict.
Battle broke out between hundreds of true Mandalorian warriors and dozens of Jedi, wearing Beskar steel armor that was not afraid of lightsabers and armed with advanced weapons.
The real Mandalorian warriors showed their strong combat power. Under the protection of Beskar steel armor, their combat skills were difficult to resist even those Jedi Knight with Force precognition.
The scale of the battle between the two sides was small, but it was very tragic. In the end, all the real Mandalorian warriors who participated in the battle were killed, and only Jango-Fett survived and were captured by Master Dooku. And Jedi Knight also paid a huge price. More than half of the Jedi Knight who participated in the war died here, and most of the remaining Jedi Knight had mental problems.
You want to ask why? Because in Jedi Order's creed at this time, many times they cannot kill each other at will. The matter of killing is a very serious matter for many Jedi Knight who use Light Side Force peacefully. Moreover, when have they, living in the ivory tower, ever seen such a powerful and fierce warrior as True Mandalorian?
Not to mention that, the worst thing about the situation is that this battle took place in the urban area of Galidrong! It is equivalent to happening in full view of countless civilians!
In the eyes of those New Mandalorian civilians, this was Jedi Order attacking and killing a group of the Mandalorian mercenaries in broad daylight!
After the battle, Master Dooku was forced to hand over the captured Jango-Fett to Governor Galidrong under pressure from the parliament. And the governor who secretly communicated with Death Watch sold Jango-Fett as slaves.
Although Jango-Fett escaped later and killed Tor-Vizsla, the leader of Death Watch, True Mandalorian was inevitably disbanded.
This incident made the person involved, Master Dooku, feel very guilty because he not only mistakenly killed those True Mandalorian who were just carrying out normal mercenary activities, but also lost dozens of Jedi Knight. Even those who survived were unable to return to the battle due to the huge battle trauma.
His valued disciple Komari Vosa also disappeared during the battle, and it was not until more than 20 years later that he discovered that she was captured and became High Priest of the terrorist organization Bando-Gosa.
In this matter, Jedi Order's hasty handling of the matter and Jedi Council's compromise with Galactic Senate made Master Dooku very disappointed with the way Jedi Order, Master Windu and Master Yoda handled it, so he left Jedi Order after more than ten years.
For Galactic Republic, they regard this battle as a major victory against the Mandalorian militarism (JG idea). They don't care whether the dead person is True Mandalorian or Death Watch. Even if a few Jedi Knight die, they don't care. What they care about is only the power and interests in their own hands.
The then Speakers Phineas-Valorum were still talking about this incident, so much so that when riots broke out at Indjori and Caladanian, he asked the parliament and Jedi Order to handle the problem according to the way Galidrong Campaign handled it this time.
The result was the tragedy of Caladanian being turned upside down by the parliament, and the failure of the Indjori riot to end.
Therefore, Phineas-Valorum was later ousted by the conspiracy of Sheev-Palpatine, and it was not entirely because Palpatine was plotting behind the scenes. Many things were actually the pits Phineas-Valorum dug for himself due to his own incompetence.
After Galidrong Campaign, True Mandalorian disbanded, and Death Watch was still active although their leaders Tor-Vizsla were also killed.
By the way, those tin cans in the "The Mandalorian" series are the remnants of True Mandalorian.
So Death Watch finally set his sights on the current ruler of the Mand'alor world - New Mandalorian.
They launched a series of terrorist attacks against New Mandalorian in an attempt to overthrow their rule. But at this time, the leader of New Mandalorian, Duchess Satine-Kryze (Satine Kryze) came to power.
Satine quickly displayed her outstanding political talents. Together with Jedi Knight Obi-Wan-Kenobi, she defeated Death Watch's many conspiracies and consolidated her dominance. Then it united many factions in New Mandalorian and strengthened the originally somewhat scattered political system of New Mandalorian, thus forming a powerful political and military force.
So under New Mandalorian's ubiquitous encirclement and suppression, Death Watch was finally destroyed, and their remaining forces could only linger like rats on the street. Duchess Satine became an unprecedentedly powerful leader in the Mand'alor world.
During this process, she had an ambiguous relationship with Obi-Wan-Kenobi, which I won't go into details about.
In short, from this time until the outbreak of Clone Wars, Mandalore was like this.
New Mandalorian rules the world of Mand'alor under the leadership of Duke Satine. Death Watch is ready to move in the shadows, wanting to resurrect, and the only remaining True Mandalorian is scattered throughout the galaxy. According to "Super Commando Codex", the former glory and dignity of the Mandalorian continues in the field of mercenaries and bounties Hunter.
Then... the change finally came!
