- Description: Death Watch Reformist troops are volunteers that have completed their initiation and taken an oath of service to Death Watch.

These troopers wear the signature sky blue Armour of Death Watch, As well as the Shriek Hawk emblem in bold white and the necessary rank tabs on their shoulder.
Death Watch Reformist troopers consider themselves elite and proud traditionalist warriors, Often seeing themselves as guardians of the mandalorian way of life, Reversing their culture and the Resol'nare with an almost cult-like fanaticism. They are taught to keep to themselves while on duty and to never reveal their membership to the public, Though behind closed doors within their own coverts, They are a merry band of brothers that would spill blood and die for another just as soon as challenge them to a drinking contest or arm wrestling match.

-EE-5 Particle Carbine: A heavy and near recoilless particle carbine with a deadly, Fiery punch.
- Combat Function: Specialized infantry\\Jump troopers
-Death Watch Reformists Troops function as specialized "Jump Trooper" Infantry, Utilizing single squadrons made of up specialized fireteams, Often deployed either in tandem with allied infantry to provide fire support or as a small strike force against high value targets and objectives both on and off the battlefield.
Death Watch reformists operate in small strike teams, able to coordinate and strike at target sites within Mandalorian Space quickly. Many of their operations and functions are for special operations essential to the security of The Mandalore Sector and the Union as a whole. Their operations are carried out in secret, and provide their adversaries little warning, as such it is rare for them to operate with another Mandalorian unit; let alone provide that unit with knowledge of their presence.
The Reformist troops usually keep to themselves while on duty when their identities are hidden behind their visors, As they are encouraged to keep their identity and membership secret, Though it is not a requirement. Those who follow their Rally Master's advice however rarely remove their helmets in public, Though it is not unheard of nor is it uncommon for them to speak with mandalorians outside of Death Watch.
The goal of Death Watch Reformists is to redeem the order from it's dark past by cleansing the galaxy of their traitorous cousins, And to protect the mandalorian way of life. Thus it is not uncommon for a planet's Death Watch Reformists to deploy as a sort of Quick Reaction Force to engage outside threats or Traitorous Dar'manda within the mandalore sector, And more often than not, The Reformist troops will place a high emphasis on avoiding collateral damage.
They are usually deployed in single squads of 15 or less led by a single "Rally Master". Each squadron is split into fireteams of 4-6 depending on mission requirements, All with their own functionality on the battlefield according to mission requirements and skill sets.
- "Da Werda Verda" Secrecy is the greatest weapon Death Watch Reformists possess, As such, Their troops are highly trained in covert tactics.
- "Mandalorian Discipline" Members of Death Watch are trained to the best of their abilities, Learning to wield every weapon and utilize every tool available to them, And trained to hit hard and fast as if they were veteran warriors, Of which many are. In addition, Most are indoctrinated from childhood, And fiercely loyal the Reformation and adherent to the Resol'nare.
- "From on high" The Ramikad Jetpack allows the warriors of Death Watch to take flight and engage enemies from or in the skies. They are well trained in its use and the majority of their tactics utilize this technology.
- "Need to know Basis" Due to their nature, Death Watch isn’t able to bring the full fire power of the Mandalorian war machine down on its enemies, lest their operating practices become hindered. Much of their hardware is limited to what their agents can carry on their person, And their support is typically limited at best.
- "Black Mark" Death Watch has a long standing and infamous history dating back to the "Clone Wars" that so few remember now. Worse still is their association with the previous iteration, The Sith Aligned Death Watch that once served Mand'alor the Infernal. It is because of their predecessor's betrayal that many distrust The Death Watch Reformation, And they in turn rarely work with those outside the Reformation's ranks.
The Death Watch Reformation was formed shortly after the Mandalorian Union reclaimed Mandalore from the Sith Empire. They were founded by Darsch Vizsla and Aloy Vizsla, Who took the remainder of the Deathtroopers of Krieg loyal to Darsch Vizsla(previously the Warmaster of Clan Naudir) and to Concord Dawn and gave them the chance to become the first members of the new Death Watch Reformation. Many signed on that day, But their numbers weren't enough for the Vizsla's liking. So, They were instructed to bring foundlings into the fold whenever possible and to teach them the ways of Death Watch. Soon foundlings were being indoctrinated into the mandalorian culture and that of Death Watch, And soon their numbers grew.
After Apollyon The Betrayer committed a Massacre in Mandalorian Union space, Support for the Death Watch Reformation's war against Apollyon gained support across the union, And their ranks began to grow yet again. Now they are a diverse band of warriors dedicated to defend the sector and mandalorian people from these traitors.
In recent times however, There has been a split caused by the departure of Darsch Vizsla, And Aloy's rebranding Death Watch to "The Nite Owls". These reformist troops are the men and women who stayed loyal to Darsch Vizsla above all others, And have chosen to travel with her as bodyguards and loyal soldiers.
