The Mandalorian Excision of 738 BBY was a brief but brutal conflict that saw the devastation of Mandalorian Space at the hands of the Galactic Republic. Following the Republic's enactment of the Ruusan Reformations in 1,000 BBY, the Mandalorian people experienced a growth in technological prowess and military power, but they refused to join the Republic due to their traditional warrior ways. Alarmed by the potential threat of the Mandalorians, the Jedi Order organized the Republic's Judicial Forces and Planetary Security Forces in a preemptive strike on Mandalorian Space. The Mandalorians had no hope of winning a war against the Republic, and they suffered greatly in the resulting battles, with a number of planets including Concord Dawn, Ordo, Fenel, and Mandalore itself crippled by bombardment. The damage lasted for centuries, with entire sections of Mandalorian worlds remaining barren deserts.

Following the Excision, the Republic disarmed the Mandalorians and occupied Mandalorian Space, installing a provisional government to oversee Mandalorian affairs. The Excision also birthed a schism of ideology among the Mandalorians: the pacifistic New Mandalorians became prevalent in many areas of governmental operation and society, though unrepentant warriors continued to survive, eventually leading to the formation of such splinter groups as the True Mandalorians and the Death Watch.

BackgroundEdit

The ExcisionEdit

In the years following the fateful Seventh Battle of Ruusan, a large number of the Mandalorians chose to reinvent themselves as a more rigid society favoring technical aptitude, and started down a course of growing militancy. The Galactic Republic and its guardians, the Knights of the Jedi Order, so fresh from the destructive war with the Sith, grew alarmed at the Mandalorians' show of militancy.^[2] In order to avoid a second Mandalorian War, the Jedi and the Republic launched a preemptive strike on the Mandalore sector in 730 BBY. A short and targeted war, the conflict between the Mandalorians and the Republic brought devastation to the planet Mandalore;^[2] portions of the world were left transformed into barren expanses of white-sand deserts.^[3]

AftermathEdit

In the wake of the destruction the Republic wreaked, a group of Mandalorians chose to undergo a new social transformation. Doing away with many of the old warrior codes the Mandalorians had historically followed, the self-proclaimed "New Mandalorians" put forward the idea that the best opportunity for Mandalorian survival and prosperity would come through being peaceful, neutral, and tolerant.^[2] Constructing cube cities in the expansive deserts left behind in the aftermath of the war with the Republic, the New Mandalorians used their talents as inventors and building to form a new civilization,^[3] taking the black-domed city of Sundari as their capital on Mandalore.^[5]
