Mandalorian Empire

THE WARHOST
“The strength of the many. The fury of the whole.”​

The Warhost of the Great Heathen Army is the standing military of the Mandalorian Empire. It is the body from which fleets launch, armies march, and territories are secured.

The first act of Mand’alor the Iron following the Empire’s founding was to build a force that could weather the storms of a shattered galaxy—a force not built on legacy or bloodlines, but duty, grit, and fire-forged loyalty.

The Warhost is composed of brave Mandalorians and Domarians (Imperial Citizens) who have taken up the cause. Together, they are the lifeblood of conquest, the shield of the homeworlds, and the boot upon the throat of the Empire’s enemies. They do not claim glory. They carve it.

CULTURE
We fight as one. We rise together.

The Warhost is built on unity, not division. While the elite Supercommandos strike with brute force, the Nite Owls from the shadows, and the Mandalorian Knights with power and precision—the Warhost holds the line.

This is where warriors are shaped, where iron is tested, and where glory begins.

All who serve in the Warhost wear the same colors, bleed on the same soil, and fight for the same purpose. It is open to all loyal citizens of the Empire—whether born Mandalorian or Domarian by blood. Those who are not Mandalorian by birth may still rise by oath, deed, and devotion.

Training is rigorous. Brotherhood is sacred. And every role matters:

• Infantrymen and gunners take the brunt of battle.
• Pilots and dropship crews deliver death from the sky.
• Engineers build forward warcamps under fire.
• Medics haul their comrades back from the brink.
• Admirals command the war in orbit.

No role is lesser. There is no rear guard in the Warhost. There is only the next objective.

Among the ranks, oaths are forged by action, not words. Your warband is your kin. Your service is your legacy. And when the Empire calls, you answer without pause.​

ORGANIZATION
Four Warbands. One Host.

The Warhost is divided into Four Primary Warbands, each named after a historic Mand’alor and shaped in their legacy:

• Warband Rebuilder – “We are the line that never breaks.”
  Named for the First Mand’alor of the modern age, known only as the Rebuilder, who rose from the ashes of the Four Hundred Year Darkness to unite a scattered people. His legacy lives on in the boots that march, the tanks that thunder, and the soldiers who make every inch of soil count. (Ground Forces: Infantry, Armor, Basilisks, Artillery)
  .
• Warband Stalwart – “We hold the stars.”
  Named for Mand’alor the Stalwart (Emberli Garrett), a commander known for victory in Mandalore's first war. The Stalwart held fast when others fell. Today, his Warband commands the void between stars, where hulls rupture and battles decide the fate of systems. (Capital Ship Crews, Naval Command, Orbital Warfare)
  .
• Warband Liberator – “Let fire fall like rain.”
  Named for Mand’alor the Liberator (Mia Monroe), whose skybound fury brought freedom to Mandalore. This Warband commands the air, delivering swift death, air superiority, and shock drops behind enemy lines. (Starfighters, Dropships, Basilisk Riders)
  .
• Warband Reclaimer – “We make sure the war never stops.”
  Named for Mand’alor the Reclaimer (Isley Verd), a visionary who sought not only to conquer, but to rebuild, heal, and unify. This Warband keeps the Warhost moving—repairing, resupplying, patching wounds and building forward warcamps in hostile territory. (Support: Engineers, Medics, Signal, Logistics)
  .
• Clan Warbands – “Many blades. One war.”
  Alor’e (Clan Leaders) who are granted stewardship over ancestral worlds are authorized to form their own Clan Warbands, composed of loyal warriors from their houses. These units operate alongside the Four and may be integrated into broader campaigns or defend their assigned territories as needed.

The Warbands are the heart of the Warhost—but Rank is the spine that holds it upright. Each warrior’s journey is shaped not just by what Warband they serve, but by how far they rise through combat, command, and unshakable resolve. From the newest recruit to the general leading a system-wide campaign, the path forward is clear—and earned:

• Warrior – Newly initiated or active-duty members of any Warband; serve on the front lines or in key support roles.
• Rally Master – Veteran operators who lead squads, coordinate detachments, or command sub-units within a Warband.
• Field Marshal – Senior leaders responsible for directing full-scale operations across systems, theaters, or fleets.
• Warmaster – Overseer of the entire Warhost, answerable only to the Mand’alor. Coordinates large-scale campaigns across the stars.

Every rank reflects not just responsibility, but proven ability. The Warhost is not a place to hide. It is where warriors rise.​
