[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Mandalore rises above the cataclysms of the past.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Manda’yaim mourned for her children, with tears of ash on the ground. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Her children listened, and renew themselves through strength of arms. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The Mandalorian Empire is a faction of more than just warriors, banded together with common culture, language, education and purpose. This purpose is to bring plenty to the Clans, raise strong and noble children, cure the ecological devastation of their homeworld, enter the battlefield without fear, and one day die a glorious death to Hold the Line in Manda.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]Why We Exist...[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The Mandalorian Empire is a band of players, who earn their keep, and build their Empire by their own hands. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]We realize Mandalore was too accepting of cultural influences outside the Resol’nare and mean to restore our traditions. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]We are a culture based on honour between siblings, love between spouses, and bloody vengeance to any who dare threaten our ways.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]We are a Neutral Faction dedicated to nurturing our culture & beliefs.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]We are a faction which does not need the Force to be strong.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]We ride into battle on legions of War Turkeys, Bes’uliik & War Mounts. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]We play beings whose love for life is dwarfed only by their prowess in battle. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=20pt]Government[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Mand’alor the Infernal[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt], the One Ruler. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Uniter of the clans, a ferocious warrior without quarter. Seeker of cultural growth & peace inside the Empire. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Yasha Mantis, the youngest Mand’alor, is a warrior trained at the feet of Mand’alor the Undying, Preliat Mantis, Ember Rekali, and thirteen years spent surviving the Netherworld. Chosen by the former Warmaster & Cuir Rekr to assume the Mantle, Mand’alor the Infernal ascended much too early. She desires to return the Mandalorian Culture to its’ heights through battle, freedom to all slaves, and provision of the resources to give to the sciences, the arts, architects, ecological rehabilitation what they need. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Warmaster[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The executor of Mand’alor’s Will. A cunning strategist, intrepid warrior and mighty guardian of the people, who stands in front of Mand’alor’s forces in battle. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px][member="Alkor Centaris"][/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The Wue'gi (The Mandalorian Council)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Up to ten Mando’ad who have proven themselves exemplary, with loyalty to the Mando’ade, bravery, and desire to serve. They form the Mand’alor’s Advisors & Council. Elected through commitment to the Mando’ade and the Mand’alor. A member of the Wue'gi becomes Wue'gi'vod. A servant of the people. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt][member="Gilamar Skirata"][/SIZE] [member="Strider Garon"] [member="Cynthia Solus"] [member="Alkor Centaris"] [member="Keira Verd"] [member="Gray Raxis"] [member="Skorvek"] [member="Jor Kvall"]
[SIZE=20pt]Laws[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]4. No subject of the Empire may take a Mando'ade for servant or slave. Every slave must be permitted to adopt the culture of Mandalore. | 851 ABY[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]5. Use of the Force within Manda’yaim’s orbit is prohibited by law. Known Force Abusers are required to undergo state-mandated treatment by the Transport Security Authority. Force Sensitive Individuals who forego use of the Force on Manda’yaim are free to live as they please. | 851 ABY[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]6. Illegal threats or acts against the Mand'alor's life are punishable by exile and/or death by the State of Manda'yaim. | 851 ABY[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]7. Only a Mandalorian may become Mand'alor. | 851 ABY[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]8. Mandalorian challengers of Mand'alor must first declare the Rite of the Mantle and seek the blessings of the Wue'gi Vode and the Mando’ade. Upon receiving their blessing, a challenge may then be honored that the Mand'alor cannot refute. | 851 ABY[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]9. Every winter the Empire shall host a Great Hunt for its’ Warriors to keep the vod of the army exercised. | 851 ABY[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]10. Whoever intentionally lies, or practices sorcery, or conspires against Manda'yaim, or intervenes between the two parties in a quarrel to help the one against the other is also to be put to death, if their ways be not amended by hard labour, first. | 851 ABY[/SIZE]
[SIZE=20pt]Mandalore, Manda’yaim the Great Mother[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]A planet free of Force Use. Those who come to Mandalore go through a stringent customs & immigration process, which begins in a series of space stations surrounding Mandalorian space. Those who commit crimes on Mandalorian soil are dealt with severely, according to Mandalorian Law. Those who come to do business, and respect the culture & laws of Mandalore are free to come and go as they will. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=20pt]Military & Naval Might[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]A collection of Clans, the military and navy of the Mandalorian Empire is made up of groups, who work together to man the Empire’s fleets, battle stations, and legions. As more planets become part of the Mando’ade, their unique military structures and technology are absorbed into the Empire. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Every Mandalorian can be asked by the Mand’alor to temporarily join the ‘military’ in order to fight for the Mando’ade. Those whose abilities lie in other avenues than combat will be assigned according to their talents and giftings.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]Commandos[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The military arm of the Mandalorian Empire, which comprises of espionage/undercover operatives, the Navy & ground troops, who band together for the sake of raids, invasions, and missions the Empire is hired to conduct for others. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14pt]Ori'ramikad (Super Commandos)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The most prestigious warriors, engineers and Generals of the Mando’ade. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]Protectors[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]A group of warriors, who have won renown in battle, and in service to the Mando’ade.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14pt]Yalilyr [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The most seasoned hunters & warriors in what was once Death Watch, tasked with the sole protection of valuable targets to the Mandalorian Empire. They serve as the personal guard of the Mand’alor, & Al’Ori’ramikad, and protect high value targets around the Empire. Led by Gurlanin Ambrose Mantis, the Yalilyr are specialized and unyielding. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=14pt]Death Watch [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]A collection of powerful Anti-Force User warriors, and Vode who hunt down and punish those who abuse the Force. A group who conducts missions to protect the Mandalorian Empire from Forcer threats.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=20pt]Conquest & Diplomacy[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Some Factions make their way through alliances and diplomacy. Some Factions conquer, others invade. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The Mandalorian Empire cares little for empty expanses of territory under our banner. We care only for the goods and supplies which will bring the Empire to a position of safety. Isolationist in nature, we are welcoming to the few friends we keep, and ruthless to our enemies, or those who cross our path. We ultimately trust no one but our vode. Our brothers and sisters of the Resol’nare.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Be respectful and Mandalore shall call you friend. Be hostile and Mandalore will remove the threat.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=16pt]Alliances[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The Mandalorian Empire is a Neutral Faction, focused on renewing their Empire through opening the forces of the Mandalorian Military Machine to other factions for hire. The first alliance the Mandalorian Empire has is with the Sith Empire, which has been giving aid to the Mandalorians since the cataclysm and has been grandfathered in from the time of Mand'alor the Undying. Further alliances exist with Commenor Systems Alliance, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=20pt]Rebuilding & Ecology[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The Mandalorian Empire has focused completely on rebuilding Manda’yaim and returning the biomes damaged by the Cataclysm to an ecological renaissance. Using terraforming technology and the reintroduction of flora & fauna from outlying planets, the Mando’ade live to hunt and return the pastures, mountains and plains of their home planet to its’ former glory. Thus, attempts at abusing the land for profit or gain are frowned upon. With bullets. Bullet frowns. Aggressive bullets. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=20pt]Culture[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]"I adhere to the Resol'nare. The core of what it means to be Mandalorian. A sacred law giving us direction and purpose. Education and armor, self-defense, our tribe, our language, our leader—all help us survive. We must educate our children as Mandalorians, obey the commands of Mandalore, speak Mando'a and defend our clans."[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=11pt]The Mandalorian Culture revolves around the Resol’nare, six tenets taught to children as they learn. Any who come to Mandalore and adhere to the Resol’nare can achieve Cin Vhetin, virgin snow, the clean slate which provides a fresh start. All who were enslaved can be freed, as Mandalore keeps no slaves. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]A culture who adopts orphans into the fold, and lives a strong fundamental family life, Mandalorians grow to ‘adulthood’ by 13, and usually marry between 16 - 20. Not all Mando’ade are so traditional in their beliefs, but the core of it is family. The Aliit. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]For the Aliit, we go to war and bring home what we need. Loving to our families, doting on our children, we teach strength, hunting, the Resol’nare. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Cin Vhetin “Virgin Snow”[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The erasure of one’s past, when they become Mandalorian. You will only be judged by what you do from the point of acceptance of the Resol’nare onward. Similar to the ‘first turn of the screw cancels all debts’ for sailors. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Aay’han[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]The bittersweet perfect moment of mourning and joy. Remembering and celebrating the fallen, or moments of joy and sadness. The Mandalorian version of grief. Similar to a wake. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]Shereshoy[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]A uniquely Mandalorian word connoting the thorough enjoyment of of each day, and the urge to take every possible experience, while surviving to see the next sunrise. Clinging to life and relishing it. Leaving nothing to tomorrow which you could experience today. Understandably a concept of a warrior culture, where the emotional state is one where death is close as a brother. Related to ‘live’, ‘hunt’ and ‘stay safe’. The battle cry of ‘Oya!’ is related to this word and concept. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=20pt]Force Traditions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Upon coming to her Mantle, Mand’alor the Infernal loosened the laws on Force Use in the Mandalorian Empire. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=11pt]Use of the Force[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] is prohibited on Mandalore[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]. Force Sensitivity is not a crime. [/SIZE][SIZE=11pt]We require no loose spiritualist traditions to be mighty. TSAC’s, centres which administer a cure for Force Sensitivity, offer it on a voluntary basis. Those who are born with Force Sensitivities have a choice of the cure, or living without use of their powers. If a Force Sensitive is caught using the Force, they are given the choice: Permanent Cure, a locked bracelet or anklet, which eliminates the use of the Force while worn,[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt] yet can be removed[/SIZE][SIZE=11pt], or banishment. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]There is no Force Tradition sanctioned by the Mandalorian Empire. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=11pt]The Witches of Dathomir live autonomously upon their homeworld. Through diplomatic relations with Nightfather Ember Rekali, the Witches of Dathomir are left to their own devices, and no more is asked of them from Mandalore. If upon Manda’yaim, all Witches are expected to follow the law, to use no gifts of the Force, until they leave Manda’yaim.[/SIZE]
