The New Mandalorians were a reformist Mandalorian faction. Unlike the Mandalorians'

traditional history as warriors, the New Mandalorians fashioned themselves as pacifists,

espousing the virtues of peace, tolerance, and neutrality. They came to view these ideals as necessities

to surviving in a hostile galaxy, and did away with the ancient warrior codes their forebearers

had followed in the hope of being accepted by the galactic community. Instead of training in combat,

the New Mandalorians cultivated their talents as inventors and pursued their passion for advanced technology.

Non-violence was an expectation for all within their sect, but while violent bloodshed toward sentients

Non-violence was an expectation for all within their sect, but while violent bloodshed toward sentients

was abhorrent to the New Mandalorians, non-lethal self-defense was acceptable in certain situations.

The New Mandalorians looked down upon their warrior clan brethren for continuing their age-old ways as soldiers and mercenaries,

believing that their traditions were discredited and that they were ultimately dead-enders.

The New Mandalorians came from a time of extreme pressure on Mandalorian society.

This caused radicalization which fell to both sides of the spectrum,

both to complete pacifism where violence is almost never the answer,

and to violence is necessary and anyone who does not agree with me much be convinced of the truth (torture and the like).

The New Mandalorians are a segment that got along with the Jedi,

even requiring their help when other splinter groups wanted to kill New Mandalorian leaders for their non-violence.

I honestly do not believe the New Mandalorians are Mandalorian anymore beyond living on the planet Mandalore.

They gave up all of their culture to start over and declared themselves the only true faction.

As someone who is too invested in this it always rubbed me the wrong way.
