Saxon was power-hungry and willing to do whatever it took to end up on the winning side. Under Maul, he anticipated advancement in the Mandalorian leadership ranks, [20] although he was eventually betrayed by the former Sith apprentice. [16] [17]

As leader of the Empire's Super Commandos, Saxon wore their Super Commando armor with the color red. [18] Behind the scenes [ ] As one might guess from their formidable armor, the Mandalorians began as a group built around conquering others. From their homeworld of Mandalore near the outer reaches of the galaxy, they expanded to many other star systems. One of the most famous of these is Concord Dawn, a name which has survived several different continuity shuffles. These conquered planets became the Mandalore sector. While the Mandalorians also took over other worlds outside of it, this sector was their base of power for most of galactic history.The Mandalorian Super Commandos cost 4PC with 0 force points, 8 stamina, and 2 durability which puts them in the average making them easy to list build with and fine from a health standpoint. He's the Emperor's Hand, the acting ruler and governor of Mandalore." ―Sabine and Tristan Wren [11] Fortunately, Rebel weapons expert Sabine Wren, an estranged member of a Mandalorian clan who hadn’t bowed to the Empire, defeated Saxon in combat. Doing so wasn’t just a personal victory, but a symbolic claiming of the Mandalorian legacy. Like in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, these underground Mandalorians have their own ideas of right and wrong. In this case, it’s codified as the Way of the Mand’alor. While the status of their Manda’lor is unknown, the Armorer has authority over the other Mandalorians, and at one point reminds them of one of the tenets of their culture: it’s critical to never remove the helmet or have it removed by others. “This is the Way,” she reminds them.

Clan Kryze Mandalorians will cost 4PC and have 0 force points, 7 stamina, and 2 durability. Similar to Bo-Katan this is below average for health but with the protection Bo-Katan provides them you won’t miss that extra health. Captain Rex comes in at 4PC and has 0 force points, 9 stamina, and 2 durability. This seems to be close to standard for the core set meaning he will be easy to switch between squads for list building purposes. Gar Saxon costs 4PC with 0 force points, 9 stamina, and 2 durability. This appears to be the average in the core set and not much else to say about it. Mandalorians are mostly — but not always — human. People of any species can technically be part of the culture if they follow its tenets. We’ve seen only human Mandalorians so far, but in the Legends timeline, they varied greatly. Since she has horns on her helmet, it’s possible the Armorer is a Zabrak — or just likes the intimidation factor of the horns.Bo-Katan Kryze helps to lead the charge in the siege of Mandalore as a Secondary unit with her supporting unit of Clan Kryze Mandalorians. In the year 19 BBY, [10] after Maul was bested in combat by his former master, Darth Sidious, [8] he was imprisoned in the Spire, a Confederacy of Independent Systems prison on the planet Stygeon Prime. Kast and Commander Gar Saxon followed Sidious and Maul to Stygeon, and were tasked by Mandalorian Prime Minister Almec, [7] whom Maul had selected as the public leader of Mandalore after his takeover of the planet, [11] with infiltrating the Spire and rescuing Maul. Close Support is Bo-Katan’s stance card which has a combat tree with early branching to provide options with access to a lot of shoves, an easy pin, and extra mobility. Defensively Bo-Katan only rolls 4 dice at range and melee but her defensive innate abilities help to compensate for this. At range 4 Bo-Katan gets to roll 6 dice and in melee she rolls 7 (these will more likely be 7 and 8 respectively with the free focus). At both melee and range Bo-Katan gets the same expertise chart which get access to a crit at 2 expertise and has the potential for 2 crits and damage at 4 expertise.

As a female member of the human species, [2] Kast had brown hair, blue eyes, [4] and fair skin. [2] By the time of the Siege of Mandalore, Kast had purple hair. [5] Equipment [ ] Among their enemies were the Jedi, whose Force abilities were a match for the Mandalorians’ specialized armor. In response, the Mandalorians modified their standard armor to include beskar steel, which can deflect blows from a lightsaber, and diversified their arsenal away from blasters. Since Jedi are trained to deflect blaster shots, other weapons were more likely to take them by surprise.Gar Saxon was a member of Clan Saxon and the Death Watch, a group of Mandalorians that opposed the pacifist government of Mandalore. He [3] served under Pre Vizsla until Vizsla was killed by Maul in a duel for control of Mandalore. [12] Saxon then became fully devoted to his new leader. [10] The Separatists bring Kalani, Super Tactical Droid as the Secondary unit commanding his Supporting Unit of B1 Battle Droids. Gar Saxon was a brutal, ruthless, and aggressive Mandalorian. Under Maul he was shown to be very dedicated to the cause despite Maul being an outsider and a Force-user. After Maul's defeat, Saxon again swore loyalty to an outsider, this time the Empire. This led some, such as Sabine Wren, to question whether his true loyalty belonged to Mandalore or himself. This also meant his honor was called into question, preventing him from claiming the title of Mand'alor. Saxon was a fierce and brutal warrior and commander. He took pride in killing the Protectors for colluding with the rebellion and was determined to kill their leader Fenn Rau. Saxon was a ruthless and impatient interrogator who was not above using violence to extract results. He was an extremely cunning and manipulative leader. [6]

Despite being some of the coolest Mandalorians, Ahsoka episode 5 marks the first time Mandalorian super commandos have appeared in live-action. This is mostly due to the fact that very little live-action Star Wars material has covered content from The Clone Wars. Another reason they’ve never shown up is the in-universe short amount of time they existed. Darth Maul ruled Mandalore for less than a year, and while there were many Mandalorians who chose to follow him, most of were captured or killed during Ahsoka and Bo-Katan’s Siege.After the Mandalorian Civil War, the New Mandalorians led by Duchess Satine Kryze adopted and created a pacifist society, a sharp turn from Mandalore's warrior culture. Those who did not accept were exiled to Concordia, and by the time of the Clone Wars were thought to have died out. In reality, however, warriors were still active and grouped into the organization known as Death Watch, which was secretly led by Pre Vizsla. The Mandalorian bounty hunter and foundling Jango Fett, who participated in the Mandalorian Civil Wars, was a famous individual who wore a distinctive set of Mandalorian armor, although the New Mandalorian government did not know how he obtained it. [11] Death Watch was active throughout the Clone Wars, eventually joining the Shadow Collective led by Maul and overthrew the New Mandalorian government and civil war erupted once again. [5] This era of Mandalorian history was completely rewritten for The Clone Wars animated series. Although both were ostensibly part of the pre-Disney canon, the television show took priority over what had been previously established in the Legends timeline — primarily that the Mandalorians had fought alongside the Separatists against the Republic during the Clone Wars. Unsurprisingly, the retconned pacifist New Mandalorians established in The Clone Wars were, for a short time , a new and controversial idea in Star Wars fandom. The Dark Times When Ezra feigned ignorance of the rebellion, Saxon reminded the boy that he was a seasoned Mandalorian warrior and not a fresh-faced Imperial Academy graduate. Despite Saxon's intimidation, Ezra continue to feign ignorance about Mandalore and the Empire. Losing patience, Saxon and one of his Super Commandos fired blaster bolts at Chopper, startling the droid and Ezra. Ezra then claimed that he was Lando Calrissian. Saxon sensed the boy was lying and told Ezra that he was giving him what he wanted to know whether he realized it or not. After Saxon threatened to dig out of Chopper's memory circuits, Ezra claimed that Fenn Rau had sent him. [6]
