Siege of Keldabe

In 2 BBY, an Imperial force comprising mercenaries, stormtroopers, and various walkers attacked the fortified Mandalorian city of Keldabe. The Mandalorians in the city, hailing from numerous clans, either fled the city or stayed to fight, while some citizens hid in their homes. Remnants of the Death Watch faction supported the Imperials during the siege. The defending Mandalorians were eventually ousted, and the remaining inhabitants were detained by the Imperials. During the city's occupation, any citizen that was associated with any traditional Mandalorian group or showed support for the Mandalorian resistance was sent to a slave camp. A band of Journeyman Protectors traveled to Keldabe and organized a guerrilla force that clashed with the occupying forces for several years. In 3 ABY, the fighting in Keldabe once more escalated into a full scale battle, and weeks later the Imperials were driven from the city, which was once more under Mandalorian control.

Prior to the Imperial attack, the city was governed by Clan Kelborn, though a "council" of Journeyman Protectors later gained control of the city after defeating the Imperials there.
