Jango died as the Clone Wars began, but thanks to one of his clones, the Mandalorian tradition survived. Alpha 02, an aberrant ARC trooper the Kaminoans failed to recondition, became obsessed with rebuilding the Mandalorian supercommandos. Returning to Madalore, he recruited an army of 200 soliers from local police units, and another dozen came from the unlikeliest source--former Death Watchmen. Near the Clone Wars' climax, these new Mandalorian Protectors helped Mandalore's government seize MandalMotors' facilities in the capital of Keldabe for Separatist use. Squads of Mandalrian supercommandos carried out covert missions for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Following the death of a predominent Separatist commander, the Madalorian Protectors aremed with a Battle Legionnaire droid arm executed multiple devastating blitzkriegs on Republic targets, including Kamino and New Bornalex.
By the end of the war, however, only a trio of the 212 shock troopers was thought to have survived: childhood friends Tobbi Dala and Fenn Shysa, and a shell-shocked Alpha 02. Dala and Shysa returned to their impoverished homeworld, hoping to live out their lives in peace. however, the Galactic Empire eventually caught up with them. When Dala gave his life to rid Mandalore of Imperials, Shysa realized that the time to revive the Mandalorian supercommandos had come.
Tobbi Dala and Fenn Shysa
Tobbi Dala and Fenn Shysa were good and honest men. Boyhood friends born on a small province off the coast of Mandalore's largest continent, these local constables enjoyed throwing back a mug or two of Mandalian Narcolethe after a hard days' work. With their destitute homeworld historically marginalized by the Republic, however, Dala and Shysa didn't hesitate to heed Alpha 02's call for troops to resurrect the Mandalorian supercommandos and join a seemingly just Separatist cause.
But history is a harsh arbiter. Though Dala and Shysa werer privy to a great duplicity on the part of Darth Sidious, when they returned home from the Clone Wars their own people branded them outlaws and evildoers--a people who'd now legalized slavery to escape Mandalore's legacy of poverty. Cooler minds prevailed however and Dala and Shysa were covertly enlisted to train elite special police units around the planet.
When Dala gave his life ridding Mandalore of slavers, the burden of revitalizing not just the Mandalorian supercommandos but Mandalore itself fell on Shysa. Now a symbol of hope rather than evil, Shysa rallied his people to join the Alliance and oppose the forces of Grand Admiral Miltin Takel. Under Mandalore Shysa's guidance, the Mandalorian Protectors rose from the ashes once more.
After almost 20 years, an aging Fenn Shysa finally rejoined his childhood chum when, in an unexpected turn of events, Shysa gave his life on the planet Shogun saving Boba Fett from death.
