Viceroyalty of Mandalore

The Viceroyalty of Mandalore was a government on Mandalore and an Imperial puppet state that succeeded the Duchy of Mandalore. Under the leadership of Viceroy Gar Saxon, a former Death Watch warrior, the Viceroyalty and occupying Imperial forces combated several insurgencies across the Mandalore system. While the Viceroyalty's military forces comprised of local Imperial garrisons, it maintained its own contingent of Supercommandos that acted as both special forces and police. Much like the pacifistic Duchy that came before, the Viceroyalty controlled only a few provinces on the planet though was recognized as Mandalore's official government by the Galactic Senate. Following Gar Saxon's death in 1 BBY, the Viceroyalty was placed under the control of the Imperial-Mandalorian Administration Committee, which was comprised of Imperial military officers. The guerrilla war between the Mandalorians and Imperials continued to rage on until 3 ABY, after which point the Viceroyalty was disbanded and its territories occupied by the newly formed Mandalorian Confederation.
