MANDALORIAN BATTLE ARMOUR


         Mandalorian armour is the very symbol of Mandalorian technological superiority, and the most common sight when facing Mandalorian forces. Although the armour is regularly improved and modified, the same general look is maintained, and armour suits from thousands of years ago are only slightly different on a visual inspection.

         The armour is based on technology introduced to the Mandalorian Empire by the Juannar, who required advanced armour and atmosphere suit technology to venture away from their homeworld. Adapted for use by the more physically robust Mandalorians, this technology gave their troops an edge in combat from the very start, and it is mainly down to this technology that the Mandalorians, who have been vastly outnumbered by their opponents in virtually every conflict they have ever entered, to become a feared and greatly respected fighting force throughout the galaxy.

         Although Mandalorian troops are well disciplined and maintain a strict fighting order, they are encouraged to decorate their armour and individualise it, however even this small amount of encouraged individuality is forbidden when circumstances warrant, and Mandalorian armour is often modified for special missions. These modifications may vary from addition of extended air tanks for missions in hostile environments, right down to camoflage colour schemes for missions and service on jungle or ice worlds.

Description: The best armour that the Juannar and Mandalorian technicians could build, these suits cost millions of credits to construct. These suits are only issued to members of the Mandalorian Imperial Government, and the Mandalorian Emperors Elite Guard. Not only because of the value, but because of the honour attached to this armour it is NEVER allowed into the hands of non-mandalorians, since this would be considered a surrender of their Imperial power, and an insult to the Mandalorian people.

It's entirely possible.
A lot of my Early Mandalorian stuff came from something called "Talon Karrdes guide to the Mandalorians", but in the decade since I downloaded it I'm afraid I've lost the file (during one of many moves between computers) so can't check to see if this is entirely mine, or totally ripped off.

he's right mandalorians dont have any real set goverment (except the manda'lore) or uniform most just choose the colour of there life style (black being justice and sandy gold being revenge) and their clan symbol and some have the symbol for the the clans in general (that horned skull thing the only really uniform thing is the helmet which is generally that shape with the t shaped visor. Also the mandalorian armour wasnt invented by the juannar but by the taungs a race of near-humans from coruscant (before it became all urban) who left after defeating the native humans and ended up on mandalore and then pasted the armour down to humans when they died out

No no no, the armour was invented by the woozits from the planet bip. They first made it out of wood shavings and jam, to protect themselves from the fierce mandalorian badger which loves nothing more than to drink the blood of the woozit, which tastes of honey and despair. The woozits passed on the secrets of their advanced battle armour to the mandalorians in exchange for a really good recipe for toffee pie, leading to the woozits loosing all their teeth and being easily defeated by the mandalorians.

Mandalorian government is arranged by mud wrestling in front of the elders of their clans wearing only ceremonial woozit skin thongs.

Many people get mandalorian history wrong, and misunderstand the mandalorian crusade to bring slapstick humour to the galaxy through the medium of mime and custard pies.

Mando'a

The heavier of the suits is basically walker scale(except with the drawbacks). I don't want to talk down on mandalorian engineering, but I kind of doubt they can go toe to toe with an AT-ST.
