Al'Ori'ramikade

Al'Ori'ramikade (Mando'a for 'Chief of the Supercommandos') was a title in Mandalorian culture used by individuals that oversaw the operations of virtually all Mandalorian Supercommandos, who in the Mandalorian language were known as Ori'ramikade. The powers of the Al'Ori'ramikade only encompassed the Supercommandos and not the warriors of individual Mandalorian clans or city-states. The title was often used as a secondary title of the Mand'alor, who ruled much of Mandalorian space as a king. As such, the title often passed to whoever became the recognized Mand'alor, a process almost always completed through wars and coups. As the Supercommandos were divided individually and sometimes among small offices and warbands that operated independently from one-another, there were many Supercommandos that did not answer to the Al'Ori'ramikade, though each Al'Ori'ramikade throughout history maintained their own offices to ensure that there were at least some Supercommandos that did directly serve them. This feudal system meant that the Supercommandos often fell into infighting between militias and offices, preventing them from their carrying out their larger mission of eradicating foreign influence in the Mandalore sector and also pushed many Supercommandos to leave the sector and operate as pirates, mercenaries, and The last Mand'alor to hold the dual title of Al'Or'ramikade was Mandalore the Resurrector, who was the recognized Mand'alor during the Clone Wars. His successor, Fenn Shysa, abolished the title and formally merged its powers with the Mand'alor title. Despite this, in 4 ABY, another Supercommando named Naastau, who had spent much of his life outside of the sector fighting as a mercenary and later a pirate, returned to Mandalorian space and proclaimed the title of Al'Ori'ramikade after gathering a cabal of Supercommandos with the help of other Mandalorian elders, who fought as scouts, assassins, and raiders against Imperial holdouts in the sector. Naastau managed to remain on neutral terms with the Mand'alor and even assisted him in some operations against the Imperials.
