Imperial-Mandalorian insurgency

The 'Imperial-Mandalorian insurgency' referred to a series of conflicts that occurred between Mandalorian and Imperial forces following the Galactic Empire's decentralization in 4 ABY. Following this event, many former Imperial generals, admirals, and governors formed Imperial splinter states using their assets in the Imperial Military in areas that once had a significant Imperial presence. These holdouts were left over from an Imperial invasion in the sector that lasted over two decades, resulting in a retreat order being issued for all Imperial Military elements operating in the area. Many of said Imperial holdouts arose in the Mandalore sector on worlds including Mandalore, Concord Dawn, Vorpa'ya, Draboon, and Gargon. Those of the Imperial holdouts that didn't leave the sector or get withered down by local resistance began operating as bandits or attempted to establish Imperial splinter states of their own. Many Mandalorian groups began carrying out hit-and-run raids on vulnerable Imperial strongholds or pirate attacks on supply ships that transported supplies between these strongholds, some with the intent of ousting the Imperials and others simply for the thrill of battle. The last Imperial units in the sector were wiped out or driven out by 8 ABY, though only months later the sector would see another significant Imperial presence during Thrawn's campaigns against the New Republic and Mandalore in 9 ABY.
