The Mando'ad Naur'alor Ke'gyce is perhaps one of the largest single investments of Mandal Hypernautic's capital. The Guild primarily operates as an organization of Mandalorian craftspeople trained in the ancestral Beskar smithing techniques of the Mandalorians which is constantly accepting apprentices to further spread this knowledge among Mandalore's promising youth. Skilled masters within the guild are also given a monthly stipend and access to top-of-the-line workshops from Mandal Hypernautics to work on personal projects, which upon completion are patented by Mandal Hypernautics with the creator being given a large percentage of the profits. Most things coming out of The Guild are of little use to Mandal Hypernautics and the patent is sold back to the creator based on its supposed market value.
The Guild is further used as a front from which Mandal Hypernautics can introduce patents acquired secretly or even illegally while giving them an air of legitimacy, often manufacturing false histories regarding the invention and attributing them to members of The Guild who are paid handsomly for their silence.
RATIONALE
The Guild was formed by Manti Wyrvhor in an effort to keep traditional Mandalorian beskar smithing traditions alive in the age of high tech precision smithing. It has since found more practical uses to Mandal Hypernautics.
