    In the summary of The Sith War #6 on the previous page, the second sentence of the first paragraph should read:

    "We have reached Onderon, the former home of the Dark Jedi, Freedon Nadd."

    Not "Freddon" Nadd.

    Jango was a slave on a ship,yeah, but he was a slave for years and nowhere is it said that he was ONLY slave on a ship. He might have been sold, or when the ship is onplanet might have worked for short time as mining slave.

    Actually, it says he was a slave on the ship only right there in the text.

    Here are all the Mandalorian and Ghez Hokan references from pages 75 - 125 of Republic Commando: Hard Contact:

    Ghez Hokan never took kindly to being summoned, but thought to himself that at least Ovolot Qail Uthan was charming about it - she invited him to join her at the research complex and even sent one of her staff with a speeder to collect him from his offices.

    Hokan respects the gesture. Unlike Ankkit the woman knew how to use power and influence.

    What Hokan likes most about her is that while she seemed to know that her feminine charms wouldn't override his common sense, she still never dropped her seductively reasonable facade. She was a professional, and mutual respect goes a long way with Hokan. That she was a scientist with subtle political skills impressed him further, to the point where he could almost forgive her unnatural act of fighting without real weapons.

    As he goes to see her Ghez carries his helmet under his arm - he is unwilling to leave it, or his weapons, with the servant. He looks local to Ghez, and he thinks that the locals are all thieves.

    Uthan says that she's grateful that Ghez has come to see her, and that normally she would never bypass someone with which she has a contract in order to speak with his "subcontractor."

    Ghez realizes that Ankkit isn't part of the conversation... and that Uthan is laying on flattery with a trowel. "I'm merely Hokan, a citizen. Let me address your concerns... madam?" Ghez suddenly feels a little foolish when he realizes he doesn't know how to address her. "Mistress Uthan?"

    Uthan tells Ghez that "Doctor" will be fine, and he asks her how he might reassure her.

    Uthan leads Ghez into a comfortable side room. Hokan hesitates to sit in one of the decadent seats, but does so because he refuses to stand before her like a servant.

    She tells Hokan that she believes he has some idea of how important the work she is doing is. "Viruses." He replies. "From the building specification anyway. Hazardous materials." Uthan confirms this, then says that while Ankkit has ensured her that her security is guaranteed, she wants Hokan's assessment of the situation.

    Hokan doesn't hesitate. "Yes, I believe your facility is vulnerable." A master of his trade, Hokan sees no reason to lose his reputation over restrictions not of his making. "And no, I can't guarantee anything with the level and quality of staff that I have."

    Uthan is surprised by that, and says that with the generous contract that Ankkit has received that Hokan should have the resources to employ better help. Ghez says that the generosity has not filtered down to his operation. Uthan suggests shortening the supply chain, in the interests of efficiency.

    "I have no opinion on that. Ankkit's welcome to his cut as long as I have the tools to do the job."

    Smiling coldly, Uthan replies that that wasn't the cut she had in mind for Lik Ankkit, then asks whether Hokan believes the recent incursions are related to her facility. Hokan, returning a smile that he suspects is a few degrees colder then Uthan's, says that he has circumstantial evidence that leads him to believe so.

    He knows that if Uthan would do this to Ankkit, that she'd do it to him as well.

    Ghez tells Uthan that he hasn't found any forces yet, but has identified two points of hard contact (situations where soldiers actually engage one another) and a downed vessel.

    Uthan asks Ghez whether or not her arranging for Ghez to take command of the Seperatist officers and droids of a nearby garrison would make his task easier. "I take no sides." Ghez responds. "I won't lie to you and pretend to support your cause."

    Uthan tells him that there's no disgrace in being a mercenary, to which Ghez responds: "I'm Mandalorian. It's in my soul as well as part of my education. No, there's no shame in it as long as you give of your best."

    Uthan then tells Ghez that the Republic has created an army of millions of cloned troops that have been bred and genetically altered to be the willing servants of the Jedi - that th

    Here is Karen Traviss' post from the official site message boards that states that "Death Squad" and "Death Watch" are the same group, and explains why an ex-Death Watchmen would care about Jango Fett:


    Yes, same group. Now, this was my take on it, and others might not agree with my logic. Even if Ghez didn't have fond memories of Jango the guy is still a Mandalorian icon. Whatever your view of one of your own within a group, you often turn right around and defend them if an outsider has a go at them. (The domestic dispute syndrome...) I see this as a matter of Mandalorian pride, because regardless of personal animosity, Jango was admired as the best in his field. I think Ghez would put feuds aside and rally to anything Mandalorian at a gut level, especially if the Jedi were involved. The alternative was for him to say to Uthan, "Oh, I never did like him anyway. It's okay. It's fine for the Jedi to use our numero uno man to make mindless fighting machines."

    Of course, Ghez didn't exactly get on with anyone, so he probably wouldn't have cared about sides, being a hobby psychopath . But I still miss him.

    This is the info from the Shadows of the Empire soundtrack liner notes regarding the Taung (the race that the original Mandalorian race is believed to be descended from):

    Historic Notes on Dha Werda Verda

    Much has been written on this famous text. We are indebted to the discoveries of space merchant and explorer Mungo Baobab (see The Adventures of Mungo BaoBab, Lucasfilm 1986) who found and preserved the Roonstones. Encoded into the crystal structure of the Roonstones was the earliest known text of Dha Werda Verda. It is considered original, and was translated in the Baobab Archives.

    The text was written five millenium before Coruscant's primitive warlike ancestors, a warrior race called the Taungs, invaded and conquered the indigenous peoples.

    Dha Werda Verda recounts in epic poem fashion the legendary story of a battle between the Taungs and the vanquished people, the battalions of Zhell. The tide of the final battle was turned when a sudden volcanic eruption rained destructive ash onto the Zhell, smothering their city. The plume of ash rose kilometers into the sky, and cast a giant shadow over the land of the Taungs for two standard years. Thousands of years of continual construction have turned the original site of this epic battle into Imperial City. Henceforth the Taungs became known as "Dha Werda Verda," i.e. The Warriors of the Shadow or in some translations, Dark Warriors.

    The Taungs themselves saw the shadow as a symbol of their destiny and adopted the Dark Shadow Warrior identity throughout their conquests.

    Here are all the Fett and Mandalorian references from Star Wars: The New Essential Guide to Characters:

    Jango Fett

    Before becoming the template for the clone army Jango Fett cultivated anonymity behind the faceplate of his Mandalorian helmet. Afterwards his face was everywhere.

    Orphaned when his settler parents were killed in an uprising, Jango joined the Mandalorian peacekeepers - a group of nomadic mercenaries who he traveled with for a few years.

    On Galidraan the Jedi Knights nearly eliminated their outnumbered opponents, but Jango slipped away preparing to become a hunter-for-hire.

    Jango received spectacular payoffs for his successes and earned a reputation as the best. He flew a modified Firespray-class F-31 named Slave I. Calling himself "just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe," Jango followed no ideologies and accepted jobs from anyone with money. One private vendetta tortured him, however - his hatred for fellow hunter Montross.

    Years before, Montross killed Jaster Mereel and mounted his armor - bearing the skull insignia of Jaster's regiment - in his home as a trophy. While collecting a bounty on the leader of the Bando Gora, Fett confronted Montross and walked away victorious.

    Shortly after the Battle of Naboo a man named Tyranus approached Jango on one of the moons of Bogden. Out of all the galaxy's bounty hunters Jango had been chosen to provide the genetic template for a clone army to be grown on Kamino. Fett took up residence in Tipoca City and provided regular genetic samples while continuing his bounty hunting career from his new base.

    The Kaminoans paid well, but Jango wanted something else. Prime Minister Lama Su gave Jango a newborn clone, unaltered, to raise as a son. Jango named him Boba.

    Ten years into Jango's stay on Kamino, Tyranus - really Count Dooku - hired Fett to eliminate Senator Amidala on Coruscant. Jango entrusted the job to one of his freelance stringers, Zam Wesell, but killed her when she threatened the security of the operation.

    Later Jango met Obi-Wan Kenobi on Kamino. His instincts telling him that Kenobi might be trouble, Jango and his son left Kamino after a heated clash with Obi-Wan.

    The Jedi followed them through the asteroid rings of Geonosis, and later more Jedi invaded the planet's execution arena. Jango tried to help fight them off, but died in one-on-one combat with Mace Windu.


    Boba Fett

    He didn't socialize, he rarely spoke, and none of his bounties ever saw his face. Thus Boba Fett encouraged fearful speculation about his past, which sprang up in the absence of facts.

    Some said he was Jaster Mereel, a journeyman protector from Concord Dawn who'd been exiled for killing a fellow officer. Others pegged him as an adult during the Clone Wars, fighting as a supercommando on the planet Mandalore.

    The truth, buried under a mountain of falsehoods, is that Boba Fett was an unaltered clone of his "father," Jango Fett. Unlike other clones, Boba did not undergo the gene tampering that would lead to docility and growth acceleration. Jango accepted Boba in addition to payment for services rendered to the Kaminoans, and raised Boba as his son. Taun We, aid to the Kaminoan Prime Minister, cared for Boba while Jango hunted bounties offworld.

    Ten years after his birth in a clone incubator, Boba Fett met Obi-Wan Kenobi when the Jedi came to Kamino. Possessing his father's instincts, Boba immediately knew Kenobi was trouble. The Fetts fled Kamino after a skirmish with Obi-Wan, then eluded him in the asteroid ring of Geonosis.

    But when more Jedi invaded the execution arena on Geonosis Jango Fett was kiled in one-on-one combat with Mace Windu. Boba left Geonosis in his father's ship amid the confusion of battle between the Seperatists and the Republic.

    The Clone Wars erupted, the Jedi Order died, and Palpatine assumed the throne and authority of Emperor. Boba Fett became what he'd been bred and trained for. He possessed Jango's reflexes, Slave I, and a set of Mandalorian armor t

    Here is the Boba Fett entry from the Star Wars: Roleplaying Game Revised Core Rulebook:

    Boba Fett

    The most feared bounty hunter of his time, Boba Fett racks up an unheard of number of successful bounties that earns him a reputation as a force to be reckoned with. His name fills outlaws and criminals with dread. Boba Fett never acts particularly evil or cruel. He simply seems bereft of conscience. It means nothing to him to accept help from someone, then minutes later turn that person in for a bounty.

    The origins of this bounty hunter go a long way toward explaining his lack of humanity. A clone of his "father," Jango, Boba was raised without a nurturing mother figure and isolated socially. Apart from his father, Boba had no friends or heroes. Jango taught Boba self-reliance and to trust no one - lessons Boba learned easily. Like his father, Boba saw the galaxy around him with a cold, selfish, and remorseless eye.

    At the Battle of Geonosis, ten year old Boba is orphaned when Jedi Master Mace Windu kills his father. Boba witnesses Jango's death and flees the planet aboard Slave I, taking with him his father's helmet, an undiluted hatred of the Jedi, and his perception of a galaxy devoid of compassion and rife with violence.



    And, also from the Star Wars: Roleplaying Game Revised Core Rulebook:

    Equipment of Jango and Boba Fett

    In addition to their distinctive armor, the bounty hunters Jango Fett and Boba Fett equip themselves with all manner of weaponry and gadgets designed to aid them in locating and capturing their elusive prey.

    Armor - Boba's armor has fewer solid plates then Jango's suit. Both of these suits of medium-weight armor have the same accessories: macrobinoculars in the helmet, motion sensors, sound sensors, infrared sensors, a comlink, and a broadband antenna / signal interceptor. The helmet also features a rangefinder.

    Jet Pack - Allows flight of up to 500 meters on a full tank of fuel. The jet pack and flame-thrower gauntlet draw from the same fuel source.

    Missile Launcher - Integrated into the jet pack, it fires an explosive warhead or a magnetic grappling hook and 30-meter line.

    Antisecurity blades - These electronic devices bypass forcefields and jam security devices with a burst of high-frequency harmonic interference waves. They can also be used to defeat electric locks.

    Flamethrower Gauntlet - The right wrist gauntlet contains a miniature flame projector, which shoots a gout of flame up to six meters. As noted above, the flamethrower uses the same fuel source as the jet pack.

    Whipcord - The right wrist gauntlet also contains a whipcord which can entangle an opponent within 6 meters.

    Rocket Darts - The kneepads are equipped with rocket dart launchers, one per knee. The darts are most useful in melee combat where the impact of a knee strike will cause them to launch. They can also be activated by hand, but their limited range drastically reduces their effectiveness.

    Laser Gauntlet (Boba only) - Boba Fett's right wrist gauntlet can fire an intense laser beam.

    Spiked Boots (Boba only) - The spring-loaded spikes in the toes of Boba Fett's boots are designed to extend when he stamps his foot. The bounty hunter uses them only in emergencies, or when stripped of his more powerful weapons.

    Stun Grenade Launcher (Boba only) - Boba Fett's EE-3 blaster rifle is fitted with a launcher that fires stun grenades up to 20 meters.

    Wrist Rocket Launcher (Jango only) - Jango Fett uses a Kelvarek Consolidate Arms single-shot, MM7 rocket-powered flechette launcher, mounted on his left wrist. The missile carries an explosive warhead.

    Sabredart Launcher (Jango only) - Jango Fett has a Kaminoan sabredart launcher integrated into the armor on his right forearm. The device carries four darts. Sabredarts are usually coated with poison, most commonly kouhun venom.

    Wrist Blades (Jango only) - Deadly retractable blades snap from Jango's wrist gauntlets.

    Here are all the Mandalorian and Ghez Hokan references from pages 125 - 150 of Republic Commando: Hard Contact:

    Ghez Hokan and his lieutenants, Cuvin and Hurati, stand in the path of burning woods, staring back at it from three hundred meters. Cuvin points out that they'll have to burn a great deal of land to deny all cover to the enemy. Hurati says that that isn't the point - the burning is being done as much to convince the enemy that they're protecting the facility as it is to flush them out.

    "Correct," Hokan says. "There's no point in alienating the natives, and I can't afford to compensate them all for lost production. This is sufficient. We'll use droids on the remaining boundaries."

    Cuvin points out that the Trade Federation won't welcome disruption to the barq harvest, and that a shortage of barq will be noticed by some very influential people.

    "I don't care," Hokan replies. "The same influential people will be even more inconvenienced by the arrival of millions of Republic clones on their homeworlds."

    Hokan was in full Mandalorian armor. Not so much for protection as to convey a message to his officers. Sometimes Hokan has to indulge in a little theater, and he knows that the glow of the flames illuminating his traditional warrior's armor make a fine spectacle - one calculated to impress and overawe. He was at war and he no longer had to prostitute his martial skills as an assassin or bodyguard to weak and wealthy cowards.

    Hokan knows that Cuvin is right about the barq, but that doesn't mean that he won't deal with Cuvin's dissent.

    Ghez asks Hurati how many enemy troops he estimates now. Hurati lays out all the instances of contact with the enemy, and Ghez remarks that they are all within a five-klick corridor spanning forty clicks. "Looks obvious to me that they're heading for Teklet, probably to take the port before targeting the facility."

    Hurati agrees, and says that he would guess no more then ten men. He says that he has reports from farmers who have found evidence of movement across their land. Multiple tracks crossing an area forty klicks by thirty klicks suggests to Hurati that they are being decoyed.

    Ten troops, Ghez thinks to himself. He wonders if they are pathfinders, special forces, or saboteurs and whether or not they were preparing the ground for more troops or were tasked with completing the mission themselves. Hokan wished that he had a few Mandalorian mercenaries and not just droids and career officers, but he keeps his concern hidden behind his helmet. He also wished that he had more airspeeders. He'd never needed more then one to police the farms and it will take days to have any shipped to Qiilura.

    "Farmers can be pretty cooperative, can't they?" Hokan observes.

    "Remarkably so, ever since that one found the circuitry, sir." Hurati agrees.

    Hokan starts back towards the research facility which was now empty, but lavishly and conspicuously guarded, beckoning Hurati to follow him. When Cuvin moves to follow as well Hokan holds up his hand to motion him to stay put.

    Hokan asks Hurati if he has found any sign of Guta-Nay. The Lieutenant says that they have not, but that the patrols have been briefed.

    "Good," Hokan says, "and keep an eye on Cuvin for me, won't you? I don't think he's going to make captain."

    Hurati pauses, but only briefly. "Understood, sir."

    Ghez thinks to himself that it's amazing what the unspoken promise of an extra rank insignia can do. He wondered what had happened to the code of conduct.

    So there were perhaps ten commandos operating in the region, Hokan thought. He knows that hunting them down will be extrememly time consuming and that, barring luck, he may never catch them - not with droids and his young academy theorists. But Ghez also knows that the enemy will need to resupply, and that sooner or later they will show themselves.

    Hokan also knew that the Republic was playing decoy games with him, and he with them. "It was looking better all the time. They didn't appear to be adopting their usual

    I've a question about Master Jaing and the Mandalorian Crest what obviously came from Jaing's head.
    In the Visionaries strory Prototypes Jaing is not longer member of the Mandalorians. He actually is an enemy, and the Master of Durge. He is later killed by some Mandalorians who take his helmet and use it as their crest.

    But know I wanna know, how Jaing left the Mandalorians and became their enemy...

    And if someone here has Visionaries, there's also some reference in it, so plz post it (I don't have it, sry)

    We only know he left them because they were too much mercenary. too much death watch like and not like the honorful clans he once tried to unite but failed, like Canderous Ordo before him. They never liked that he left. That is all we know so far.

    I thought that Canderous united the clans. By the way, there is another GREAT place with mandalorians called the mandalorian information exchange. If you guys could join up it would be great. It is all in the purpose of enlightining people about mandalorians. Revrends articles are great, but i think the other one is seen more often. ( 13 pages)

    This thread is not dead, and neither am I :p. I just had to take some time off from Star Wars after the emotional roller coaster of RotS.

    Between that, writing for this thread, and running a Star Wars tabletop RPG I was starting to suffer from serious Star Wars burnout. Rather then subject myself to that and start producing sub par material I felt a break was in order. Take the time off to smell the roses, see the sunshine... watch a preview of the upcoming Firefly movie and the fantastic New Doctor Who...

    Anyway, I'm back now and I will be adding to this thread within the next couple of days. Look for more from Hard Contact as well as my usual bits and pieces of randomness :).

    Regarding the Mandalorian Information Exchange -

    It's a great thread, I've posted in there a few times to keep Mandalorian fans aware of the updates to this thread. That being said it appears to be more of a socialization and speculation thread. While both of those things are welcome here, of course, I also hope to make this, eventually, a one-stop shop for all Mandalorian Information. By keeping all the factual information in this thread in bold and the speculation and discussion in normal text it will allow Mandalorian fans that are just looking for information and nothing else to scroll through and easily be able to distinguish between what's speculation and what isn't. Such an approach wouldn't really have worked in the pre-existing Mandalorian Information Exchange thread, where a new user would have had to scroll through multiple pages of pre-existing discussion beforehand.

    Regarding Canderous -

    Canderous attempted to unify the clans and had some limited success, but unfortunately he ultimately failed, and the clans remained scattered until Jaster united them. How long Jaster united them before Vizsla started a civil war and broke them apart again we don't know, but Jaster's "Supercommando" teachings would go on to be the foundation of both Spar's and Shysa's Mandalorian ShockTroopers (and presumably Boba's as well).

    Nice ya back, Reverend.
    We'll get some new Mando stuff next year in Karen Traviss' new book Republic Commando: Triple Zero. She said there would be much stuff 'bout Mando culture and language. And also, she's still working on the dictionary :D
    So I guess the thread here will go on... :D

    Let's hope so... :D

    I guess with the release of your Mando dictionary, Karen, the whole fandom (not only Mando^^) will love it :D
    And with you as an author, it will be even more greater :)

    hey Karen, any info on when the mando language dictionary will be ready or availeable for us impatient mandolovers? or previews?

    I´d love to sing on Mandalorian.. or present some loveletters or lyrics to my girlfriend, she adores Boba Fett *g*. So if you could include words that fit such categories and not only war chants *gg* would be great.
