Rex Kept It On Comms Because He Thinks It’s Hilarious And Just Wanted To Listen.

Rex kept it on comms because he thinks it’s hilarious and just wanted to listen.

I am practicing the comic route as I continue to wish I knew how to write. Comics are a good medium but I get too detailed too quick. Thus! I promised myself this would be a quick comic (that the file tells me I worked on for 33h 6min) to intro a little AU that is essentially ‘Things would have been better if there had been more music playing’. And it turned out both great and agonizing because there are so many issues still but no. No more touching. I shall find my style in the lazy and it shall be good.

How do people comic?

This is also practice for drawing the armour and clones; and again, issues, but I shall continue to practice! You have now been warned of the oncoming content onslaught.

Enjoy!

MANDALORIAN LORE OF THE DAY: THE BATTLE OF GALIDRAAN

Galidraan A snowy planet, it was the site of a major battle between Mandalorian shock troopers and Jedi Knights led by Jedi Master Dooku. Several years before the Battle of Naboo, the Mandalorians were asked by the governor of Galidraan to quell an insurrection. But the governor had been paid by Vizsla to lay a trap for the Mandalorians. The governor, claiming that the Mandalorians were slaughtering the populace because of their political beliefs, called for help from the Jedi. Half of the Jedi task force was killed while the Mandalo-rians were wiped out-except for Jango Fett, who was turned over to the governor. After years of serving as a slave, Fett escaped and returned to Galidraan to claim the armor of the Mandalorians and enact revenge on Vizsla.

exploits came to the attention of the Jedi Council on Coruscant. The Jedi were sent to the planet Galidraan to investigate reports that the Mandalorians were killing innocent natives. The Senate decided that the Mandalorians posed a threat to the Republic, and asked the Jedi to act as a peacekeeping force. The Mandalorians may have been unparalleled mercenaries, but they were no match for the Jedi. There were many casualties in the ensuing conflict, but the Jedi emerged triumphant. The Mandalorians were all but wiped out. Forgotten amongst the carnage was the young man who had arrived a stranger, but now carried with him the remnants of a group he had come to call his own. Jango was turned over to the people of Galidraan, who made him a slave. He eventually

Thanks to Master Thame Cerulian, I had some knowledge of the history of the Mandalorians, a nomadic group of mercenary warriors with origins that date back many thousand of years. I was also aware that there had been decades of infighting between two Mandalorian factions, but they operated primarily on lawless worlds outside Republic space, rarely drawing attention to themselves as they almost never left any evidence of their han-diwork. By all accounts, they were the epitome of professional soldiers. Because Galidraan was a Republic world and the Mandalorians' alleged actions were as brazen as they were barbaric, I allowed two possibilities: either the butchers on Galidraan were imposters, or something had caused the Mandalorians-whichever faction they were-to change their ways. Tragically, I did not allow for a third pos-sibility: Galidraan's governor had lied, and the Jedi Council had believed him. Five Consular-class cruisers delivered our task force to Galidraan. Komari Vosa and I traveled on the Accept-ance. Our entire task force totaled twenty Jedi, all hastily withdrawn from various respective assignments for this emergency. The Jedi Council had selected us not because of our combat experience but because of our proximity to Galidraan and how fast we could get there. I was the senior Jedi Master, and when I realized that most of my comrades' awareness of the Mandalorians was ... shall we say ... limited, I was beyond chagrined. Yes, the situation was urgent. Innocent people really were being slaughtered on Galidraan. Against any other small army, twenty Jedi would have been more than enough. But based on what I knew of the Mandalorians, I did not hesitate to request reinforcements from the Jedi Council. In hindsight, I should have insisted. But reinforcements could only travel so fast through hyperspace, and, as I said, inno-cents were dying. We located the Mandalorians in a small valley, and had the high ground when we surrounded them. I wasn't surprised when they refused to surrender. Galidraan was a bloodbath. When the conflict ended, eleven Jedi and all but one of the Mandalorians lay dead in the snow. Komari Vosa was still standing, having slain twenty Mandalorians single-handedly. The surviving Mandalorian, I soon learned, was named Jango Fett. He'd killed three Jedi with his bare hands. As a Jedi, I could neither hate nor fear Fett, but I did feel something for him that surprised me. I felt respect. Had Fett and I been the only survivors of that battle, I would have lowered my lightsaber and bid him safe journey. He was the last of his kind, and I'd never known another being who so thoroughly deserved to go wherever he pleased. But other Jedi had survived, and I doubted that we were unanimous in our regard for Fett. In the end, it was the Council who decided his fate, for via transmission they ordered me to turn him over to Galidraan's gov-ernor. And like a gutless animal, I obeyed. The governor remained in power, and Fett was sold into slavery. Although Jedi lives had been lost, it was quickly concluded that we had accomplished our mission, and there was no subsequent investigation. Eventually, I learned the entire fiasco had been a setup. The civilians had been killed not by Fett's faction, the True Mandalorians, but by the Mandalorian Death Watch. Hoping to crush the True Mandalorians, Death Watch's leader had collaborated with Galidraan's governor to lure Fett's faction with a false assignment, then summoned the Jedi for help.

The Mandalorian Civil War not only killed Mereel and Vizsla, but it also nearly destroyed the Mandalorians. Only a handful of Death Watchmen survived the superior organization and skill of the True Mandalorians, hiding out in the Outer Rim for decades. The latter, though, were totally wiped out when the Jedi were duped into thinking the True Mandalorians had wrought grave atrocities on the population of Galidraan. Only one True Mandalorian, Jango Fett, survived, and he later became the primary donor for the Republic's clone army. the Mandalorian Civil War. Vizsla shot and killed Jaster Mereel, then celebrated the vic-tory. He knew that some Mandalorians had survived and coerced the planetary governor of Galidraan to lay a final trap. The governor hired the Mandalorians to put down a local insurrection and simultaneously called for the Jedi Knights to eliminate the Mandalori-ans. Dooku was among the Jedi who slaughtered the Mandalorians on Galidraan. Years later, Jango Fett found Vizsla near Corellia. THE MANDALORIAN CIVIL WAR In around 60 BBY, all-out conflict between the True Mandalorians and Death Watch threw the Mandalore system into chaos for two and a half decades. The destruction of the True Mandalorians (led by Jango Fett) at the Battle of Galidraan was followed by the revenge of Jango on Death Watch's leader, Tor Vizsla. With Death Watch scattered, the civil war came to an untidy end as scrappy fighting continued for some time. Parja paused and looked as if she was going to smile. "The point is that not having one gives the aruetiise the idea that we're in decline. Let's face it, we never really recovered from losing our best fighters at Galidraan. We haven't had to—yet." The Jedi and True Mandalorians square off on Galidraan.

Since ancient times. Mandalorians were brutally effective fighters, and especially so under Jango Fett's leadership. However, while fighting to suppress a popular revolt in the Galidraan system, the Mandalorians ran afoul of the Jedi Knights, who wiped out most of the mercenary army and delivered the survivors to the governor of Galidraan. Jango became a slave, but he used the next several years to regain his strength and plot his eventual escape. He exacted revenge on his captors, reclaimed his Mandalorian armour and set ofi on his own as a bounty hunter.

Six. Mereel was killed, but Jango survived, and when, with his treachery exposed, Montross was exiled, Jango Fett became Mand'alor. Fett led the Mandalorians for eight years, during which the hunt for Vizsla was never far from their minds. When they discovered that Death Watch was being protected and funded by the Governor of Galidraan, they accepted a job dealing with a minor rebellion on the planet in order to get close • to Vizsla. But when Jango left the Mandalorians to go and collect payment (and to insist that the governor should give up Death Watch and Vizsla to them), it turned out to be a trap. Vizsla was waiting, and Jango had to make a fighting retreat. DOUBLE-CROSSED The governor had also contacted the Jedi Council with lying tales of the Mandalorians' excesses, complete with corpses eagerly provided by Death Watch. The Council had decided to intervene, and were on their way to Galidraan. With his equipment damaged by Vizsla, Fett was unable to warn the Mandalorians, and the Jedi team, led by Master Dooku and his Padawan, Komari Vosa, were already there when Fett arrived. Though his people fought well, Fett was the only survivor of the intense battle, after killing six Jedi with his bare hands. The True Mandalorians were gone. Sold into slavery by the corrupt governor, a burning desire for vengeance on Tor Vizsla kept Jango Fett alive for long years until the transport he was on was attacked. Fett freed himself, killed his slave master and escaped. Returning to Galidraan, he stole his armour back, and forced the location of Death Watch from the governor. Over Corellia, Jango launched a vicious assault, mandalonians. as well as protecting him in battles, the armour hid Jango's many scars. destroying the Death Watch ship. The one-on-one fight with Vizsla continued in an escape pod and on the planet itself, where Jango triumphed over his foe. His vow of revenge fulfilled, bereft of family and purpose and with little else calling on him, Jango traded on his considerable martial skills and became a bounty hunter. Using the Outland Transit Station in Hutt Space as a base, and its Toydarian owner, Rozatta, as an agent, Jango quickly established a formidable reputation. Bounty hunting was not enough, however, to fill the empty hole in his life.

Dooku stared into the mesh of light that showed the plan of a castle-like structure full of passages, chambers, and high walls. Don't think, Padawan Dooku. "You were wrong then, Jedi," he said aloud. "And you're wrong now." Destiny was not about feeling; destiny was about thinking, about rationality. Dooku didn't see reacting blindly to feelings as some mystic virtue, but as a weakness. In a child, he would have punished it as giving in to impulses, a lack of maturity and self-control. As a child, he had been trained not to think. As a child, he had been trained to be a Jedi. Don't question so much, Padawan Dooku. Feel. Don't doubt. Believe. Well, he questioned things now. And he didn't believe. The Republic was corrupt to its core, and the Jedi were its lackeys-sanctimonious mercenaries. Their comfortable little cartel was coming to an end. Darth Sidious would finish it off, and Dooku knew it was his moral duty to help bring about that day. Then he saw snow again, not the polished apocia wood desk; a battlefield in winter, finally silent. The schematic's hair-fine lines of red light became spatters and trails of blood that Dooku feared he would never be able to wash from his hands. He was standing ankle-deep in the muffled, ice-cold whiteness of Galidraan in winter. Jedi and Mandalorian dead lay everywhere. And he could still hear his own appalled voice, his own shame.

YES. AS YOU INSTRUCTED, I BEGGED FOR THEIR HELP. INFORMED THEM THAT THE MANDALORIANS WERE SLAUGHTERING POLITICAL ACTIVISTS. WHICH IS BASICALLY TRUE. SEND THE JEDI TO JANGO'S CAMP. AND TELL THEM THAT THE MANDALORIANS HAVE BEEN KILLING WOMEN AND CHILDREN TOO. BUT THERE'S NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT. DON'T WORRY. WE'LL CREATE SOME.
