Hahaha. 'S nothin' dirty, if that's where you were goin' with that...he's just nearly blown up two planets, imploded a ship we were borrowing from the Jedi temple, turned a Death Star-esque ship into the "Yarmulke of Doom," and just sold the plans for his WMD to...damn, I forget. Someone. Oh, and he nearly melted all our gear and ships and everything metal within the area with a random grenade he made from scratch (much akin to the happy-fun-time green stuff in GI Joe), but we were lucky and it fell into a hole and just melted some underground stuff that pretty much disabled the entire area, we found out later, when all the shops were in a tizzy. ^_^'

Awesome! The Death Watch are really my favourite Mandos in the prequel era because they are so nasty. My RP character on SWG, Cuir (the one on the far right in the banner image) is supposed to have been one of them. Good to see others having an interest in them.

And when in the RP I sought out all the info I wanted on them also.

In a nutshell, the Death Watch (Kyr'tsad in Mando'a, meaning Death Society but also know as Death Squad) was founded as the answer to Jaster Mereel's standardization of a moral code ca. 60 BBY. They adhered to no moral codes themselves, and this made them likely to do just about anything. The leader, an egomaniac named Tor Vizsla, proclaimed to be preparing the Mandalorians for a war on the galaxy like their forefathers instead of settling with being a simple and forgotten people, which in fact he didn't directly act on appearently. But that's basically why the other Mandalorians didn't like them. Amoral and wishing to raid and pillage instead of making an honest living as mercenaries. They saw themselves as superiour to anyone and took what they wanted. Like we see in Open Seasons: they killed children, made "evidence" to frame others and there was also a hint that when in town, they would commit war rapes.

Ask away if you need to know something specific, but sadly there's little to know about them. I combed the internet and sourcebooks in the last 4 years to put together something useful for RP.

Wayii! That's an excellent summary of 'em right there, Gratulor. (Although, to my amusement, summing up what you said makes them equate to pirates in my mind. ) It'll be another week or two, at least, before we'll get to play again, but I've definitely got a handle on what to think of the clan now (upon asking for clarification, Bastion cleared it up that the "Death Watch" my mando has been invited to join is simply their clan who feel the same general way the future Death Watch do).

Still amuses me that Kasi gets to go through two trials; first, the traditional Zabrak one for adulthood, and now one to join the pseudo-cult clan. XD

I'd say rather than pirates, they're even more like space vikings than the rest of the Mandos

Hahaha. Another good way ta put it, aye.

And as far as I remember, DW members were famous for boozing and debauchery on board their vessels as well. Can't remember the source, though.

Concernng Hokan - I didn't actually get an impression that he was some kind of crazy sadistic bastard, which is certainly implied when it's told he even had to leave Death Watch because he was too tough (or something) for them. He did his job and he did it well. So it leaves me wondering if DW was really as bad as they're said to have been.
