Mandalorian Mercs
this was the name used by the survivors of the Mandalorian Wars and the Old Sith Wars to describe their loose brotherhood. After the combined forces of the Old Republic and the Jedi Knights virtually wiped out the Neo-Crusaders, the surviving Mandalorians were forced to go into business as mercenaries to stay alive. Disparate clans of mercenaries were formed under the guidance of the old Mandalorian Canons of Honor, but these new Mercs worshipped the credits in their bank accounts more than anything else.

Mandalorian Protectors
this was the anem used by the aberrant ARC Trooper Alpha-02 to describe the band of Mandalorian mercenaries he established on Mandalore during the height of the Clone Wars. Formed from local soldiers and policement, along with twelver former members of the Mandalorian Death Watch, the Mandalorian Protectors believed that they were working to restore the true Mandalorian order. On Mandalore, the Protectors helped the local government seize control of several prominent corporations, including MandalMotors. These corporations were no longer connected to the Old Republic, and the Protectors provided access to the Confederacy of Independenr Systems. Additionally, the Protectors agreed to carry out clandestine missions for the Separatists, working as their secret police force. It was the Protectors who launched intense attacks on Kamino and New Bornalex, destroying the cloning facilities there. However, in the wake of the Republic blitz that ended the Clone Wars, the Mandalorian Protectors were decimated. Of the 212 original members, only three survived the fighting: Tobbi Dala, Fenn Shysa, and a shell-shocked Alpha-02. Years later, the Protectors were revived by Fenn Shysa, who had returned to Mandalore and became the planetary leader. He also became the newest Mandalore, and under his control the Protectors flourished for many years, until Boba Fett himself returned to Mandalore. Fett had come to Mandalore at the request of Taun We, who asked him to hunt Shysa down and destroy him for his part in the attacks on Kamino during the last stages of the Clone Wars. With Shysa's death, Fett assumed control of the Protectors, and the band was instrumental in keeping Mandalore safe during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.

Mandalorian Shock Troopers
this name was used generically to describe the supercommando warriors who followed the Canons of Honor of the ancient Mandalorians. It was believed that the very first shock troopers were known as the Mandalorian Crusaders, a group formed nearly 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin from clans of gray-skinned humanoids. Decades before the Battle of Endor, the Mandalorians - known for their distinctive armor and helmets - fractured into two distinct groups. The true Mandalorians were led by Jaster Mereel, while the splinter group named themselves the Death Watch, and were led by Vizsla. Vizsla nearly destroyed the true Mandalorians on Concord Dawn, but could not. Jaster and his forces regrouped and grew strong again, with the help of mercenaries like Jango Fett. However, they were continually led into traps set by Vizsla and the Death Watch, which led Montross to believe that Jaster's leadership was failing. Many of the Mandalorians, however, stood behind Jaster, and later Jango Fett after Jaster was killed by Vizsla on Korda 6. Montross fled the group, which managed to survive for several more years before being led into an ambush on Galidraan. They were hired by the planetary governor to help defeat a group of insurrectionist rebels, unaware that the governor was under the control of Vizsla himself. The governor, acting on Vizsla's orders, had also contacted the Old Republic Senate, requesting the assistance of the Jedi Knights in defeating the Mandalorians. The governor claimed that the Mandalorians had been slaughtering political activitists and killing women and children, claims that Vizsla's forces actually committed. The Jedi task force, led by then-Master Dooku, eliminated the Mandalorians in combat. Only Jango Fett survived, but he was turned over to the planetary governor of Galidraan and enslaved. Note that this military band was referred to as the Imperial Shocktroopers in issue number 5 of the Bantha Tracks newsletter According to the newsletter, the Imperial Shocktroopers were wiped out by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars. Also note that Star Wars: Republic - Show of Force indicates that the Republic staging area on New Holstice was attacked by Mandalorian troops some seventeen months after the Battle of Geonosis.

Mandalorian Surrender
believed to have originated on the planet Mandalore, this combat tactic involved one side of a conflict infiltrating a small band of agents into their opponent's base, on a set of false pretenses about helping out the opponent. When the opponent captured the agents and figured out that it was too late to do anything about the enemy, the infiltrators would try to explain that they were only trying to help. In an effort to "prove" their desire to help, the infiltrators would agree to call out other groups of infiltrators who were "hidden" from view. In this way, the first group of agents managed to get larger numbers of invaders inside the opponent's camp, and forced the opposing leaders to surrender under the sheer weight of their numbers.

Mandalorian Wars
this was the name used by historians to describe series of battles waged by the Old Republic against the ancient Mandalorians, some thirty-five years after the onset of the Great Sith War. After Mandalore the Ultimate agreed to fight alongside the Sith, the Old Republic decided that they needed to confront them as an enemy. Great effort was expended in defeating the Mandalorians, thereby eliminating the physical threat of the Great Sith War. The Republic could then focus its efforts on assisting the Jedi in the more mystical aspects of the war.

True Mandalorians
this was the name used by Jaster Mereel to describe those Mandalorian Mercs who supported him in his attempt to unite the disparate clans of Mandalorians under a single leader. The name True Mandalorians came about after Vizlsa and his supporters split away from Mereel and formed the Mandalorian Death Watch. Both factions were nearly exterminated during the Mandalorian Civil War.
