War was upon the galaxy once again, but not just skirmishes, a full blown all out war. One such as this hadn't been seen since the golden age of the Republic, since the New Sith Wars. Clone and droid forces mobilized to face each other, little each side knowing they were just pawns in a larger game, one that would plunge the galaxy into an age of Empire. This war was just the beginning of Palpatine's plot to overthrow the Old Republic, which Jedi Knights, such as Nomi Sunrider, Revan, and Lord Hoth, had defended valiantly. The war spread like wildfire throughout the galaxy, dragging more innocent lives and systems into it...All the men who fought and died in the wars of the republic had died for something other then one another's greed for money or cold, hard Mandalorians and the Jedi order finally decided to call a truce and helped each other during the vuzzong vong war.
User scrolls down to GAR strengths during the war, finds a passage on Republic Clone Commandos.
One strength that the Republic's clone army had was their Clone Commandos. These elite troopers were like ARC troopers, only given the genetic modifications to make them more docile, as the Kaminoians would say, than the genetic template, Jango Fett. Fett had handpicked one hundred mercenaries to train these elite commandos. Out of that one hundred, seventy five, like Fett, were Mandalorians. These trainers became known as the Cuy'var Dar, or those who no longer exist in Mando'a, to show their sudden disappearance from the galactic scene. Most of these trainers formed bonds, and adopted many of the clone commandos they trained, also teaching them about their Mandalorian heritage. These trainers also enlisted in the GAR to stay with the clones they trained and perhaps one of the most prominent examples of one of these cases where the clones were treated like blood relatives of the trainer belonging to with Kal Skirata, who even saved many clones from the Empire after Order 66. Many commandos who survived the Clone Wars (where commando casualty rates were 50% in the first year) claimed to owe their survival to these trainers. Those still alive to date still thank the men who gave them purpose, names instead of clone trooper designations, Mandalorian heritage, and the knowledge needed to of these commandos were given special credit during the Clone wars, but half of them were killed on of these commandos were:RC-1138,RC-1207,RC-1262,RC-1140,RC-1707,RC-1838,RC-2213,RC-1136,RC-2333,RC-8015 and there were many others.
Personal note from Jedi commando Skirata, Jedi guardian of the New Jedi Order,"Dead or Alive, I stand by my brothers...and may the force be with you, who ever reads this script of history from the eyes of a Commando turned Mandalorian turned Jedi Mandalorian."
