Candotan is a physically impressive specimen, able to take on a wookie. But more than that, he is a caring leader. Not always the best strategist, but always puts his men before all else. He was there during the clone wars, and when Spar came, he left, with his ship and men. He believed that Jango had betrayed his people, and he did not follow him. 20 years later, and having kept neutral and unseen on a world unbeknowest to all in the unknown sector, he has re-emerged. He is the creator of the new company, Mandalmotors. They market some (SOME) Advanced mandalorian technology to all forces, not excluding any. This has angered the emporer, but Candotan knows he (the emprorer) does not have the resources to keep the systems in line, fight the rebellion AND fight the mandalorians on their own ground, no matter how small they are.
The mandalorians have gained enough money to produce extremely high-quality warships and fighter craft, but only four. The fleet is almost always kept in-system. The homeworld, Tracyn, is defended by orbital cannon and orbital ion cannon. Reactors are located in a secret location.

That could be an unhealthy assumption . . . Ya, he's right. If we wanted to, we could double the production of our resources, and take some money away from the Dark Trooper project. We don't feel the need to wage war on both the Alliance and the Mandolorians. Most of us are too lasy, plus we like your tech. We just want a way for you to stop selling to the Alliance.

Well, as the imperials become more and more infuriated with the Rebels, they pull more and more ships into "guardian positions". But you are right, it is not good to presume. But against orbital Ion defense cannon, and a fleet that can cloak it's fighters, I beleive they would be driven away with sufficent casualties to discourage future attack.

One SSD . . . a couple Imperial or Vic-class Star Destoyers with all their fighters. A mando band doesn't stand a chance, the battle would last mere hours.

Even IF our sheilds are twice as strong, EVEN IF we have missles that can penetrate the thickest armor, EVEN IF we can cloak our fighters, EVEN IF we have orbital Ion cannon that can punch through sheilds, EVEN IF we are a natraul war race, EVEN IF we are fighting on our own, hallowed ground, fighting for our children and very way of life, EVEN IF I'm making my forces too strong, EVEN IF the Imperials are supposed to have the strongest resources in the galaxy.
I tell you what you would see.
Mandalorian fighters suiciding into imperial destroyers, destroyers dropping like flies, mandalorian boarders, outnumbered, going out in single blazes of glory, taking their last breaths, grinning with a thermal detonator in their hands. No, the imperials would be annihalated. You do not understand the tenacity of a people fighting for their own land. Read up on stalingrad, you'll know what I mean.

I know very well about Stalingrad, and I know there were a few other factors there, also.

Um, i hate to shove it in the faces of the site admins, but Candotan has a serious point. The mando' have enough going for them that they would find a way to destroy almost everything that could be thrown at them right now. unless three or more Imp. fleets get together they win. even with three fleets the Imp.s would loose a shitload of units in the attack, we're talking maybe two SSD's and three SD's survive, if that.

First of all, that's a crappy ratio. Second, with only four capitol ships, I don't think they could overcome a large Imperial Fleet. It theorized that the SSD sheilds were so tough it didn't even regard the ion cannon at Hoth. It was thought impenetrable. It's obviously not, but it would probably take the combined firepower of the mando fleet to bring them down, if they could at all, and even then you have god knows how many other SDs blasting the mandalorian capitol ships mercilessly.
I knew it was a bad idea to have the mandalorian forces in this, because they would make themselves a huge factor, which they were not.

That's why I'm not going to attack much. Because outside of my sector, my fleet is not half as strong without the covering cannon and planetary-based fighters. And, this is against the Imperials and Rebels, not against the mandalorians and anyone else. We have no reason for going to war, why should we?

And the fact of the stealthed ships? Hell, with a couple of panther(stealth) fighters I could destroy the enemy fleet. This is why I made myself a fleet. Because the mandos could defend themselves against heavy attack.

I know very well about Stalingrad, and I know there were a few other factors there, also. Such as what? The russians threw bodies at the germans, and there was the russian winter, and the germans where not rationed heavy winter clothing. So yes, the russian winter was a crucial stopping factor.

btw in case you've fogotten it's a simple matter to place extremely heavy Ion cannons on the Mando criusers giving them and effective punch of orbital defence cannons. also remember the fighters are more than a match for their Imp. counter parts. the Mando, don't need to assert themselves as a power... they already are one.
