Mandalorian resistance

The Mandalorian resistance was a dissident group of Mandalorians formed by Lady Bo-Katan Kryze, leader of Clan Kryze and the former regent of the planet Mandalore, during the Imperial Era. Following the death of Imperial Governor Tiber Saxon, Kryze gained possession of the Darksaber and united the clans under her rule to oppose the Empire. However, their rebellion resulted in the Great Purge.

Afterward, Kryze's marshalled her remaining followers, all of whom were Nite Owls, for a reconquest of Mandalore. However, her subsequent failure to retrieve the darksaber during the strike on Gideon's light cruiser resulted in the resistance refusing to obey her, disbanding into a mercenary force. Hired as protection for the world of Plazir-15, the group worked as a Mandalorian garrison in defense of the planet, until Bo-Katan returned and with the help of Din Djarin she reclaimed her forces, as well as the Darksaber. Afterwards, the Nite Owls aligned with the Children of the Watch and Mandalorian survivors for the reconquest effort.
