Description:
Clad in Duranium armor, a crass bunch of combat veterans. They are all in similar uniforms which are muted green, brown, gray, or black -- the colors are not what define them as much as their armor, load-out, and Mythosaur Skull which is embossed on each of the member's breastplate. Each Warden squad comes with a R-36 War Droid that bears a Cabur Defense Shield on its back. This towering droid and the confident squad can strike fear into lesser trained units; especially the droid.
In combat the Wardens do not simply "hold down the fort", they bring the fort with them. Each member is equipped with a Palisade Shield emitter which protects them from both physical and energy based weaponry. The Wardens may be an infantry unit, but they do not fear bombardment due to the safety of the Cabur Deflector Shield generator. If there are fortifications or armored vehicles, then the Wardens turn to their RPS-6 missile launchers, EMP grenades, Thermodetonators, and R-36 War Droid to eliminate them. To offset their low numbers, the Wardens make effective use of the DLT-19 blaster rifle to lay down a hail of blaster fire, shredding lightly armored infantry hordes. Shielded infantry and lightsaber wielding opponents are more threatening to the Wardens, but with the inclusion of the Mandalorian Ripper slugthrower pistol as their sidearm, there is an answer to them as well.
COMBAT INFORMATION: The combination of Unit Size and Availability below is the indicator of how numerous your unit is. Stormtroopers for instance would be considered Large/Common, while Rogue Squadron would be a Small/Unique unit. Majority Force User Units are prohibited from being Common or Large. The stronger and more specialized your unit is (FU or NFU), the smaller and less common it should be.
- Unit Size: Small (11 + 1 Droid)
- Unit Availability: Rare
- Unit Experience: Elite
- Combat Function: A special forces unit designed and designated to break a hole into enemy defenses and dig-in at their objective. They are also a front line defending force.
- Elite training
- Very well equipped for the specific role of being a veritable phalanx
- R-36 Super Heavy War Droid
- Cabur Deflector Shield
- Equipped to bypass their own Deflector shield with their sidearm, grenades, and RPS-6 launchers
- Extremely high morale and masterful handling of tactical awareness under pressure
- Mandalorian concept of battle brothers: fight as a family, die as a family
- TriSpray: This unit is hard to keep down due to being equipped with fast-acting medical supplies
- Arikyrzium Crystal Alloy plates provides moderate protection from force powers and destabilizes force constructs within 1 meter of member of this team.
- The entire unit moves as a group: even though the R-36 is a good deal faster than infantry, the squad only moves as fast as the slowest members, which are weighted down with heavy armor and weapons.
- Small unit size
- Resource intensive
- Slow training times and hard to replace
- The units of this formation exude a force destabilizing aura and receive greatly reduced benefits from Battle Meditation, Force healing, or other beneficial force abilities.
The Wardens is a group of mercenary combat veterans handpicked by Valdus Bral. Most of the members within the Wardens know Valdus Bral on a personal level as only those who have fought beside each other could. In return for their service, Valdus has pledged to continue to develop weapons, armor, and gear that will increase their odds of survival and their impact on the battlefield. Every member of the Wardens, including the the R-36, is a full fledged Mandalorian Warrior as far as Valdus is concerned and has gone through their rites of passage with the guidance of Valdus Bral. With the tenets ingrained into their new lifestyle, an assortment of gear pulled from ages past as well as new inventions, the Mandalorian Wardens seek new adventure, glory, and wealth on the battlefield.
The Mandalorian Wardens stood strong with Valdus Bral in the defense of Eshan when the Confederacy of Independent Systems attacked the capital. In conjunction with the Mandalorian Advance Guard, the Mandalorian Wardens, under the command of Alor Valdus Bral, killed over forty battle droids and a few enemy vehicles. For their courageous acts during the invasion each of the members received their Jaig Eyes achievement as a symbol of their valor in battle.
Side note: Due to the R-36 being such an expensive asset and every Warden squad requiring an R-36, there is a self-imposed maximum of four Warden squads within a battle. However, more than four squads may be used to defend a capital planet.
