(6) Under Mandalore the Ultimate, Mandalorian clans opened to outside species. They incorporated their technology into Mandalorian armor.

(9) For the first time, Neo Crusader armor used color to separate ranks within the Neo Crusaders: Blue = Basic troops, Red = Rally Masters, Silver = Veterans/Front Line troops (the short-lived Mandalorian Knights wore sets of grey Neo Crusader armor).https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
(12) In 1051 BBY a Mandalorian mercenary named Aga Awaud rose to become Mandalore the Uniter, and began the “Return” movement to rebuild Mandalore and its culture.

(13) While still allowing for individualization and personal preference, Mandalore the Uniter had the armor stripped down into separate components to facilitate speed and surprise in attacks. Mandalorian armor was lighter, so jetpacks were less burdened by weight.
