Mandalorian
this was the dialect spoken by the Mandalorian people. Many xenolexicologists have pointed out similarities between the Mandalorian language and the writings of the Dha Werda Verda, suggesting that the ancient Mandalorians descended from the Taungs. It was believed to have died out with the death of Jango Fett at the Battle of Geonosis.

Mandalorian
although xenoanthropologists disagree on whether or not this alien race was actually native to the planet Mandalore, they were in agreement that the ancient Mandalorians were a race of gray-skinned beings who were almost constantly at war. Analysis of the physiology of the ancient Mandalorians and their language pointed to the possibility that the Mandalorians were actually the descendants of the Taungs of Coruscant. What is known for sure is that the ancient Mandalorians eventually died out, and the name "Mandalorians" became a catch-all for any being - regardless of race - who adhered to the tenets of the Mandalorian shock troopers.

Mandalorian Battle Harness
this was the original form of rocket pack used by the ancient Mandalorian Crusaders, although it was much more than simply a propulsion system. The Battle Harness was a colossal weapons platform that transformed a simple Mandalorian Merc or a BL-series droid into a one-being arsenal. The Battle Harness consisted of two huge, articulated arms that were connected by sophisticated motion-control sensors to the arms of the Mandalorian. This allowed the Mandalorian to control the action of the arms with the movements of their own arms. One of these arms ended in a trip hammer that could pound its way through obstacles. The other arm was an immense claw that could crush objects and tear down walls. Atop the Battle Harness was a blaster cannon, and several other emplacements were located on the Harness for laser weapons.

Mandalorian Civil War
this was the name used to describe the period of history just before the onset of the Clone Wars, after Jaster Mereel assumed control of the Mandalorian Mercs. Mereel dreamed of uniting the disparate clans of Mandalorian loyalists under a single leader, to refocus their energies and restore the Mandalorians to their former glory and power. His rise to powere and the creation of the Codex forced other Mandalorian Mercs to break away from Mereel's band, thus setting off the civil war. Vizsla rose to power as Mereel's primary rival, forming the Mandalorian Death Watch. In response, Mereel named himself the leaders of the True Mandalorians, and both sides set out to destroy the other. Ultimately, the Mandalorian Civil Wars very nearly wiped out both sides of the conflict and would have ultimately eradicated the Mandalorians from the galaxy. A handful of Death Watchmen survived, as did the True Mandalorian Jango Fett.

Mandalorian Crusaders
this group was considered by many galactic historians to have been the first true group of Mandalorian shock troopers formed in the galaxy. The origins of the Crusaders have been traced back more than 5,000 years before the Battle of Endor, to a race of gray-skinned, apelike humanoid nomads that traveled through space seeking conflict of any kind. The Crusaders adhered to a loose set of laws known as the Canons of Honor, and were known to use state-of-the-art technology in their conquests. Religious historians discovered that the original Crusaders were a group of warriors dedicated to quasi-religious ideals, but over time, the Crusaders came to worship war and carnage. The Mandalorian Crusaders were known to have exterminated entire races, including the Kuarans, Fenelar, and Tlonians. Their love for war and combat drove them to participate in the Great Sith War, fighting alongside the Sith when an all-out attack was launched on Coruscant. However, the Jedi Knights managed to defeat the Sith, and nearly wiped out the Mandalorian Crusaders. The armor of the Mandalorian Crusaders was relatively primitive, when compared to that of the modern Mandalorian Protectors. This stemmed from the fact that the armor was worn for hand-to-hand combat more than blaster fighting. It was organic in appearance, with the shoulders and knees being studded with short spikes. The armor could be sealed for use in space, and was equipped with a Zim Systems rocket pack.

Mandalorian Crushgaunt
a specialized, armored glove created in the Mandalore System, the Crushgaunt was first developed by the Mandalorian Mercs. Each crushgaunt enhanced the wearer's ability to crush objects, such as hands or other body parts, allowing them to do considerable damage with minimal effort. The use of crushgaunts was outlawed by the Mandalorian government many centuries before the Galactic Civil War, but their use was later revived by the Mandalorian Death Watch. It was also rumored that one of Darth Vader's gloves was a crushgaunt.

Mandalorian Death Watch
this elite group of Mandalorian Mercs split off from the true Mandalorian shock troopers when Vizsla rebelled against the leadership of Jaster Mereel. It was believed that the Death Watch was destroyed at about the same time as the rest of the Mandalorians, during the Mandalorian Civil War, and their order became something of a legend. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Boba Fett discovered that the Death Watch sect was still operative, having contracted with Black Sun for addition manpower and secrecy. During this time, their base of operations was hidden in the Red Sin Chimaera Nebula, near the Forest Moon of Endor. The armor of the Death Watchmen was distinctly different from that of the True Mandalorians, although the differences were in color. All Death Watchmen wore stark black armor, and their helmets were modified slightly to further distance themselves from their counterparts. The Death Watchmen were also only group of Mandalorians to regularly wear Mandalorian Crushgaunts, which had been outlawed by the Mandalorian government centuries earlier.

Mandalorian Dungeon Ship
the basis for the Lictor-class ship, the Mandalorian dungeon ships were huge prisoner transport vessels which provided the most uncomfortable conditions for almost any species. This meant that the prisoners suffered the maximum discomfort before they were imprisoned on bleak, harsh worlds and left to die. Each of these ships measured almost a kilometer in length, and the interior sections of the ships were lined with ultradense alloys to prevent escape. Individual chambers could be reconfigured for a variety of activities, depending on the nature of the criminal and the amount of interrogation that needed to be done.

Mandalorian Iron
this metal was first forged by the ancient Mandalorians, and the secrets for its creation were a closely guarded secret. It was made up from metal ores and certain minerals, and was virtually indestructible, even to a lightsaber blade. Jedi Master Arca hid Freedon Nadd's Sith artifacts in a storehouse built from Mandalorian Iron in an effort to seal it forever, but Exar Kun used the Dark Side of The Force to penetrate it.

Mandalorian Manacles
locking devices used to clasp a captive's wrists together, these strong cuffs are made from Mandalorian Iron and are virtually inescapable. They come in many sizes to fit all kinds of races.
