Legend

it was believed that Fenn Shysa was one of the three surviving Mandalorian Protectors, along with Alpha-02 and Tobbi Dala, from an original group of 212 which was sent into battle by the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Popular rumor held that it was Boba Fett, not Alpha-02, who survived the conflict. Note that The Essential Guide to Characters claims that the two other Mandalorians were Boba Fett and Jodo Kast. Shysa and Dala served under Alpha-02 during the battle, and both returned to Mandalore when the fighting was over. Whatever the truth to these rumors, what was known was that Fenn Shysa organized the natives of mandalore and got them to fight back against the slavers who had taken control of the planet in their absence, during the height of the Galactic Civil War. One of the beings they captured was the bounty hunter Dengar, just after Tobbi Dala was captured by the slavers. Shysa agreed to a prisoner exchange, but Leia Organa demanded to speak to Dengar. The swap was canceled when Dengar escaped and led the Imperials in Kedalbe to Shysa's base. Fenn infiltrated the slavers' base and rescued Leia and Tobbi Dala, but was unable to protect Dala when the Suprema shot him in the chest. Fenn managed to capture the Suprema, but could not save Dala's life. Fenn was eventually named Mandalore, and the Mandalorian Protectors once again flourished. He remained in touch with the Alliance, and eventually pledged Mandalore's support to the Alliance of Free Planets. Unknown to Shysa, though, was the fact that the former Kaminoan cloner, Taun We, had discovered that he was the only surviving Mandalorian from an attack on Kamino during the Clone Wars. She asked Boba Fett to hunt him down to avenge the destruction of her homeworld, and Fett agreed. Note that, although Star Wars Insider magazine, issue 80, says that Fett hunted Shysa down, it also says that Shysa gave his life for Fett on Shogun.
