Clan Jiyu
While most people consider the Mandalorians to be a singular people, Mandalorian society actually consists of many different clans and loosely bound groups of individuals. Examples are clans as Clan Skirata, the Death Watch and Clan Jiyu. The latter stands out because of its long history and core believes. The clan exclusively consist of mercenaries that have been banished or excluded from their previous clans. While usually forced to be alone for the rest of their days, Clan Jiyu provides a new home for those fallen from grace. The clan was originally founded by Zal Castra, a Mandalalorian woman, banished from her clan at a young age for showing mercy to an enemy and thus breaking a mercenary contract. Not accepting to be punished for doing the right thing, Zal gathered likeminded Mandalorians and her clan aspired to hold up a higher moral code than many others. While being considered weak by other Mandalorians, Clan Jiyu was certainly a force to be reckoned with. Once given a contract, which they always carefully studied for moral pitfalls, they never failed to do the job.

Here are my three Mandalorian figures for my fig-off challenge against carterl_bricks. It was a lot of fun creating them and I might use them in a build some day, when I am less busy. The story is completely going by old canon btw (Republic Commando etc.).
