Nite Owls

The Nite Owls were an elite Mandalorian unit made up of warriors led by Bo-Katan Kryze as part of the larger Death Watch movement. After Maul killed Death Watch leader Pre Vizsla in battle and proclaimed himself its new leader, the Nite Owls, like the rest of the Death Watch, split in two, with members siding with either Maul or Bo-Katan. Those who joined Bo-Katan became part of the Mandalore resistance and fought against Maul's Shadow Collective and his Mandalorian super commandos. They even attempted to free Bo-Katan's sister, the former Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore, whom they had formerly opposed due to her pacifist idealism. The Nite Owls would survive the Clone Wars and persist into both the Imperial and New Republic Eras.

Originally, the Nite Owls were a specific team of all-female warriors within Death Watch under Bo-Katan Kryze. With the establishment of the Mandalore resistance, however, the definition broadened. Each of Kryze's followers in the resistance was considered a Nite Owl. Her later followers in the Mandalorian resistance of the New Republic Era, such as Axe Woves, were also identified as Nite Owls.
