Duchess Satine Kryze

Satine Kryze was a Mandalorian duchess and the pacifistic leader of the New Mandalorians and the planet Mandalore during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. Ambitious and powerful, she longed to move Mandalore and its people past its violent warrior history. Her goals mired her in controversy throughout her leadership, facing opposition from conservative Mandalorian groups who rejected her peaceful ideology. As the Republic's stability became threatened by the pan-galactic Clone Wars, Kryze attempted in vain to keep Mandalore out of the conflict. One of the primary and most vocal opponents of the war, Kryze fought against the rising militarism and nationalism in the Republic that threatened her people. The burden of peace cost Kryze nearly everything as the war continued, and she ultimately fell victim to the forces that conspired to take her down.
