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.

That is so cool.

Very good job. Enjoyed reading it, and would very much like to read more about the troop types of Mandaloria.
Love the images by the way, and would very much appreciate seeing more of them. Please email me if this would be possible - the_real_jd@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks, keep up the good work!

anybody have a shareable copy of the Mandalorian sourcebook by chance?


04/Nov/2009 13:36:57 Posted by Freddy

Grrr, the Mandalorian Sourcebook is a bit of a sore point here. The author of it linked to it from Holonet, and it had no attribution to where its stats had come from (this site was heavily used). When I commented on that all he'd done was five minutes copy and pasting into a word document, he complained that it had taken far longer than that. No offers of attribution, no apologies, no nothing. Grrr, I say, Grrrr.

Not to be a nag.. But there's not a Mandalorian Emperor... Or a Mandalorian Imperial Government.... Or a Mandalorian Imperial Government.

There is a Manda'lore, the sole leader of the Mandalorian people... He has his supercommandos... But none of them wear any specified or pre-determined armor. It is up to the Mandalorian who wears him armor what color, symbols, kit, weaponry, and such it is.

Mandalorians are a VERY loose confederation of Clans, each Clan being headed, generally, by the elders of that Family. The Clan lead in turn swears loyalty, as do all Mandalorians, to heed the call of their leader, the Manda'lor.

It's also generally accepted that Boba Fett armor is Light armor, with Jango's being medium.

To date, there's not a standard established in canon for a heavy armored mando, though the general thought trend amongst costumer and gamers is fully enclosed shins, 3/4 thigh plate armor, and bicep armor of some kind.

Most of the backstory and info here is in pretty direct violation of established Star Wars canon, so where precisely was it gotten from again?
