The Mandalorian Protectors, also known as the Mando Cabure in Mando'a, were a branch of the Mandalorian Supercommandos during, and for some time after, the Clone Wars. In 15 ABY, Cadden Blackthorne took the mantle of Mandalore and began a campaign to unite the Mandalorian clans under one banner. From that point, the Protectors became the official governing body of the Mandalorian people.
