Timeline 9: The Mandalorian Wars

The Mandalorian Wars stand as a period encompassing some of the most violent and devastating engagements ever witnessed in the Republic's chronicles.

While the intervention of a dissident Jedi group is often credited as the pivotal element that shifted the balance against the Mandalorians, the steadfast courage and resilience demonstrated by Republic troops and pilots, figures like Carth Onasi, must not be overlooked.
