The Mandalorians

The Story

The Mandalorians continue the proud tradition of their Warrior blood-line. They have traveled far from their home planet of Mandalore. They are shrewd negotiators, and are known for their excellence in piloting and their acceptance of any willing warrior.

The Mandalorians do not speak to others of the Exodus. It was a dark time. But arriving in Bretonia, the Mandalorians won the favor of the Queen and were allowed to make their home there. Soon after arriving, a former Bretonian Military officer, John Cabot, was made Mandalore, cementing the bond with their adopted land. Assistance against the Kusari was very welcome, and was a specific priority of the new Mandalore, who had known much personal loss at the hands of the Kusari.

Soon after their settlement in Bretonia word spread about these strangers who could do battle with such cold competence. It was not long until the stories about them reached to the outer regions of Sirius space. To the Outcasts, who also required allies against their enemies. For a price, of course...

The Bounty Hunters of Manchester quickly learned the value of the Mandalorians, and granted them official Mercenary status. They were unwilling to grant them full membership to the Guild, however. These friends of Outcasts and killers of Kusari needed to be kept at arm's length, they reasoned, for political expediancy. Currently, the Mandalorians retain bases in Coronado at the Barrier Gate Station, and at Planet New London.

The Mandalorians are all a family, united by old traditions, with specific rules and social ranks. They welcome every pilot willing to undergo their training, but those who join must abide their rules. It is rumored that insubordinate pilots simply are no longer seen, nor are they mentioned in conversation. To disobey the law is an affront to the Mandalore. And to offend the Mandalore is to cease to exist.

Nor are the Mandalorians a monolithic entity. The faction politics are complex. Wheels turn within wheels. The Dha'wherd, a cult within the Mandalorians, are the dark underbelly of the organization. They fall in and out of favor depending on their usefulness to the Mandalore and Consuls. They were assassins, and had no compunction about killing anybody, anywhere, anytime. Their initiation rituals were said to involve murder. At the current time, the Consul known as Sagittarii or Sagg'Tar'di (The name Sagittarii has chosen for himself) controls the remnants of the Dha'wherd. Diana Blane, when Mandalore, smashed the Dha'wherd, or so she had believed. But an unknown number of these dark assassins remain, hence, Diane and William Bishop must continue to respect the wishes of Sagg'Tar'di; the Alor'dha'wherd.

William Bishop has returned to lead the Mandalorians again, and has renewed their former contracts, and united the various factions within the Mandalorians, the "True Bloods", descended from those who survived the Exodus, and those known as "Sirians"; mostly Bretonians, who have adopted Mandalorian ways.

With the new threat in Bretonia, it feels odd to fight alongside with the pilots that have been always their enemies. But the Mandalorians will not disrespect Bretonia's will, and the Exiles from Kusari will remain untouched for now. Gallics are now a bigger fish to fry, and many want them exterminated.

Liberty has requested a psychological evaluation for all the Mandalorian pilots workin within their territory, therefore the Mhi'Motir has become some kind of psychiatric clinic, this can be either good, or calamitously bad for business.

Honour is extremely important to the Mandalorians, the primary value. They are not specifically lawful, just consistent, and are ruthless in combat, but treat a worthy enemy with respect.

Rules

1: Always RP and keep System Chat in RP AND English at all times.

2: We are a mercenary faction, so follow all the rules of a mercenary in the license. ALL MM~ characters need a Mandalorian Mercenary ID, which will automatically give you a Freelancer IFF. The ID is only available in our armories.

3: We believe that every person is entitled to ONE mistake. After that one mistake, depending on the severity of the rule infraction, you will be banished, or otherwise internally punished, such as by demotion.

4: Nobody can get a capital ship, above gunboat size. The mercenary ID prevents that. Gunboats are restricted to Alor'ad rank or above.

Ranking System

Our ranking system is very simple. We are not military.

The Mandalore provides all promotions, in consultation with the Consuls.

Warrior:
Basic rank in Mandalorians
May fly a fighter or bomber.

Senior Warrior:
Accomplishable after having showed good hunting skills. May fly fighter, bomber or Gunboat.

Alor'ad:
Mandalorian term for 'Captain', or 'Leader of Men'. Given to Warriors who demonstrate the ability to lead men in battle, and who have also earned the honour. Allowed the Conference Zoner gunboat, Ahoudori Kusari gunboat and the Bottlenose Bounty Hunter Gunship.

Consul: The Consuls in consultation balance the power of the Mandalore

The Mandalore's successor is always one of the consuls. The transition of power is almost always violent.
Consuls are second only to the Mandalore, this rank is an honor if it is bestowed upon you. Allowed an Outcast Tridente Gunship.

Mandalore:
Leader of the Faction, there is no second to the Mandalore.



Permitted Ship List

Size of Ships : The mercenary ID permits us to use only Gunboats and smaller ships, including freighters. The gunboats that suit us better are: The Conference Zoner gunboat, the Ahoudori Kusari gunboat, the Bottlenose BHG gunship. The Liberty gunboat and the Bretonia gunboat may be allowed under request. Consuls may have Tridentes, which should not be used in Liberty.

Type of Ships : With the implementation of the new technology/ID balance, any ship is available, although, incompatible technology will decrease your powercore recharge rate.

Encouraged ship types : The following are what we recomend:

• 
  
• Civilian/Borderworlds
  
• Bretonia Armed Forces
  
  
• Bounty Hunter Guild
  
• Liberty Navy
  
  
• Zoner
  
• Gas Miner Guild
  
• Junker
  

Any other kind of ship not included in that list will result in a decrease of %90 of your powercore recharge rate.

Weaponry

Same list as for ships, with the addition of: Outcast guns.

Although, it is, technically, possible for us to mix efficiently unlawful and lawful technology, it is forbidden for any Mandalorian to mix Outcast technology with Liberty, Bretonia, BHG or GMG technology.


Hunting Formations

Our basic hunting pack is the "Mhi Tras'en", consisting of approximately equal numbers of Bombers and Fighters. Highest rank commands the formation.

The arrastra is an excellant fighter/bomber for solo duty, but its use in a "Mhi tras'en" is discouraged, as it tends to be a large target. The Recycler suffers similar limitations.

Goals

(Is this some sort of mission statement? Very well then...)

We strive to conveniently fashion parallel assassination paradigms so that we may endeavor to quickly integrate lethal business intellectual, aerospace, and capabilities capital to set us apart from the competition, and consequently leverage high-impact termination services, AKA, kills. For money.
