Crusader's schism

The Crusader's schism, also known as the Mandalorian Schism, was a conflict within the Mandalorian warrior culture during the Great Galactic War. Some of the clans, including Clans Ordo, Itera, Kelborn, and Cadera, wanted to support the Republic as Mandalore the Preserver had centuries prior, and Jicoln Cadera led an uprising against the acting Mandalore. They were unsuccessful, and Mandalore crushed the faction in his quest to unite the Mandalorian clans under his banner and went on to support the Sith Empire. Mandalore seized the armors of the surviving rebels and had their children adopted into other clans. Jicoln Cadera escaped into exile.
