Mandalorian Civil War(19 BBY)

Mandalorian Civil War

TheMandalorian Civil War^[14] erupted in the capital city ofSundari after theShadow CollectivedeposedDuchessSatine Kryze and herNew Mandalorian government.Maul challengedPre Vizsla, the leader ofDeath Watch, to a leadership battle to determine which of them would ruleMandalore. Maul defeated andkilled Vizsla in single combat, however not all of the Death Watch forces agreed to acquiesce to the sudden shift of leadership.Bo-Katan Kryze, the Duchess' sister and a Vizsla loyalist, made her forces into theMandalore resistance and rebelled against Maul's rule,^[13] leading to the fighting.Obi-Wan Kenobi also participated in theBattle of Mandalore, as didDarth Sidious, who fought Maul and Maul's brother,Savage Opress. In the ensuing fight, Savage was killed by Darth Sidious, while Maul was captured^[1] and imprisoned in theSpire onStygeon Prime.^[3]

DespitePrime MinisterAlmec's efforts to smear formerDuchessSatine Kryze as a murderer who abandoned her pacifist ideals to kill Viszla, thereby covering up Maul's own actions,^[13] the execution of Satine Kryze at Maul's hands ignited the fire of rebellion in many Mandalorians, who allied together to reclaim Mandalore from the outsider who had claimed its throne.^[15] Even as Mandalore continued to be engulfed by the civil war,^[16] Maul was liberated by hisMandalorian super commandos,^[3] but, a short time later, hismother, the powerfulNightsisterTalzin, was killed during theSecond Battle of Dathomir.^[17] Maul returned to Mandalore, but the planet wasbesieged by theGalactic Republic and Mandalore resistance. Maul was captured, and the planet fell under Kryze's control.^[5] However, she would ultimately lose her power when she refused to obey theGalactic Empire, which launched anoccupation of Mandalore^[6] with theclone forces still on-planet.^[18]
