[edit] History
[edit] Early existence
Protector campaigns included the Battle of New Bornalex, Battle of Null, and the Battle of New Holstice in 21 BBY.
Shortly afterwards, a number of them were apparently massacred by their allies, the Geonosians, at Zaadja, and suffered another defeat at the Second Battle of Kamino. By the end of the Clone Wars, all but three had perished in the failed Mission to Norval II in 19 BBY, where they had been betrayed by Darth Sidious. However, Fenn Shysa reformed them again when he became Mandalore.
[edit] Under Fenn Shysa
Unlike the Mandalorians of old, who were crusaders facing various other races for honor, these Mandalorians simply protected the borders of the Mandalore Sector. They also were the closest thing the Mando'ade had to a police force and worked to protect the Mandalorian people as a whole.
However, they would also protect the galaxy itself if they felt the need, as they did under Fenn Shysa when they helped defeat the forces of Lord Shadowspawn in the Battle of Mindor.
[edit] Under Boba Fett
Under Boba Fett's command, the Protectors initially chose to ally with the Yuuzhan Vong in the first months of the Yuuzhan Vong War, under the lure of the immense amount of credits offered by the invaders.
To this end, Fett initiated a brutal training regime for his forces on Raxus Prime, killing many of them. Fett, however, fully expected the Yuuzhan Vong to break their word, and used his place to feed information to the New Republic.
By the last year of the war, the Protectors openly turned on the Vong after their attack on Mandalore, and fought several battles in the Outer Rim Territories.
During the Second Galactic Civil War in 40 ABY, the Mandalorian Protectors were recruited by Daala. When she was sworn in as Chief of Staff of the Galactic Alliance, the Protectors served as security personnel under the new government.
