On the Mandalorian home world, called Manda'yaim, after the calling card left by
Darth Carnifex
which was the total ruination of the northern hemisphere, the rest of the world was made an even more brutal and harsh environment. Though mostly a wasteland, it is hardly uniform, with deserts, barren rock, fused glass, great fissures, caverns, and craters, and even some areas that are heavily vegetated, thick dark and dangerous.Though they hail from the deep deserts of the south, from which they take their name, the DPDC are well able to adapt to any environment. They are survivors all, mostly made up of desert dwellers of Clan Rodarch, rarely seen by others unless they're attacking, and even then they opt for stealth as much as speed and ferocity in their approach to war.
Each soldier is a confident, experienced and capable fighter, able to work alone, behind enemy lines, in whatever capacity is called for. Though individually capable, they work best in teams when they can coordinate their activities for maximum effect on the enemy.
Armed with rifle and pistol, they are also all experienced with the traditional Clan Rodarch weapons of claw and fang, and have all earned their beskar. Though capable with their ranged weapons, they all far prefer to get in close, and will take any opportunity to do so, quick, cunning, and harsh.
The unit is also well trained in psychological warfare. As stated though they prefer stealth, they can and will use battle cries and noise for morale boosting, enemy demoralizing, or other distraction or diversionary purposes.
The unit is primarily based in the Rodarch lands to the south of Keldabe. They have worked all over what remains of Mand'yaim, but after the Clan's participation in the battle in Sundari, they have begun to work offworld as well as on Mandalore itself.
