Protectorate of Concord Dawn

The Protectorate of Concord Dawn was the government of the Concord Dawn system (and later parts of the Mandalore system) administered directly by the Journeyman Protectors.

History
It was formed c. 60 BBY after the forces of Jaster Mereel (de facto Mand'alor and commander of the Journeyman Protectors, later leader of the True Mandalorian movement) swiftly defeated several local clans and city-states and occupied their holdings, establishing a strict government under the direct control of the Protectors' leadership. For decades onward, the Protectors developed a military dictatorship in the Concord Dawn system that was violently isolationist with Clan Varad has the leading Protector clan in the area. During the Great Clan Wars, the Protectors fought the Death Watch in both the Mandalore system and back in the Concord Dawn system; the Death Watch managed to establish some holdings on Concord Dawn that would survive into, and possibly even after, the Clone Wars era. The clashing between the Protectors and Death Watch would go on into the Imperial era, during which time the majority of the Protectors migrated to the Mandalore system to support the local clans in their resistance against the Empire. Back on Concord Dawn, the planet's government once more became divided between city-states and isolated clans that fought their own wars with the Empire; others adopted the New Mandalorian culture and remained neutral in the fighting. During these insurrections, the city of Keldabe (which was under the control of an independent Protector garrison for nearly a millennium by that time) became the "capital" of the Protectorate, which had now expanded to other systems in the sector including the Mandalore system itself - this fortified city was frequently besieged and juggled between Imperial and Mandalorian control over the war's course.

Some Protectors formed their own states independent of the Protectorate, such as Fenn Rau who commanded his own rogue camp on Concord Dawn's third moon, an ancient mining colony. Vas Oryk also commanded his own Protector cell that fought the Empire but considered itself independent of the Protectorate.

Government and law enforcement
The Protectorate was ruled by the recognized Mand'alor and whoever they appointed as commanders of the Concord Dawn system. Protector companies were stationed in every major settlement on Concord Dawn and other inhabited bodies in the system, even having their own tax system. During times where no recognized Mand'alor was in command, the previously appointed commanders would collectively form a "war council" that governed the Protectors' affairs throughout the Mandalore sector as a whole - these commanders usually held the title gogi, and they often ruled territories ranging from small clan villages to entire city-states as commanders of their own Protector units.
