Resol'nare & Supercommando Codex information courtesy of Wookieepedia.Ĭanons of Honor are adapted from Wookieepedia and something titled " Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Knights of the Old Republic," compiled by Lohn L., Carlos P., and Jason G. By maintaining the presence of the Supercommando Codex, Blackthorne ensured that the savage ways that had become prevalent among past Mandalorians would not become present under his rule.
Code of honor code#
Young Mandalorian children were taught a rhyme to help them learn the tenets of the Resol'nare:įinally, to ensure the proper behavior of his Mandalorians, Blackthorne instituted the Supercommando Codex into the Code of Honor. In instances such as this, the Mandalorians became a form of a local police force for these territories, protecting their investments from outside threats.
Code of honor free#
Unlike the Mandalorian Wars, captured worlds were not forcibly inducted into Mandalorian culture, and were free to coexist with the Protectors. The status of dar'manda was widely feared within Mandalorian society due to the belief it meant they were soulless and had no place in the Manda, the Mandalorian afterlife. Mandalorians that did not follow the Resol'nare were considered to be dar'manda - someone who was ignorant of their Mandalorian heritage. When called upon by the Mand'alor, rallying to his cause.Īs such, during Blackthorne's campaign to reunite the clans, anyone who wished to be considered Mandalorian had to abide by these guidelines and live these actions daily.These Six Actions comprised the core tenets of being a Mandalorian: In addition to the Code of Honor, Mandalore Cadden Blackthorne re-incorporated the Resol'nare into the facet of the Protectors. Do them - and you may live to call yourselves Mandalorians!" - A Mandalorian Rally Master These are the Resol'nare - the Six Actions - sacred to our movement. And you will serve the clan, and rally when called. You will wear our armor, and speak our language. Resol'nare " You will raise your young as Mandalorians - and defend them. Death is life, one should die as they have lived.Loyalty is life, for without one's clan one has no purpose.Honor is life, for with no honor one may as well be dead.
Once battle was engaged, victory brought honor. Honor was gained by fighting, no matter the odds or situation. To the Mandalorian, honor was very important. If an opponent fought back then they were not seen as weak, even if they could not defeat the Mandalorians the act of defending oneself instead of capitulation was seen as giving one both spiritual strength and honor. The strong had the right to rule and conquer the weak. To a Mandalorian, strength was equated with life. The Canons of Honor were composed of no fewer than four simple facets of life: Strength, Honor, Loyalty, and Death. Finally, he recognized the need of Jaster Mereel's Supercommando Codex as a means of governing how a Mandalorian ought to fight in battle. The Resol'nare had become integral in everyday living and the identification of a Mandalorian, and as such Blackthorne adopted these as a means of becoming a Mandalorian. He found that the Canons of Honor were required to maintain the strength the Mandalorians would need to operate independently in the galaxy, and so integrated those as a way a Mandalorian ought to behave in battle, and times of war. In the end, Blackthorne combined three notions that guided the Mandalorian ways: The Canons of Honor, the Resol'nare, and the Supercommando Codex. It was created as an unusual perfection in the governing principles of a Mandalorian's life he did not destroy their heritage, but instead protected it, and others' views upon the Mandalorians, by giving the Mandalorians a better sense of purpose, and a better image to the rest of the galaxy. The Mandalorian Code of Honor was created by Mandalore Cadden Blackthorne as a means of abolishing the savage history that guided the Mandalorian people for eons.
