Legend

believed to have originated on the planet Mandalore, this combat tactic involved one side of a conflict infiltrating a small band of agents into their opponent's base, on a set of false pretenses about helping out the opponent. When the opponent captured the agents and figured out that it was too late to do anything about the enemy, the infiltrators would try to explain that they were only trying to help. In an effort to "prove" their desire to help, the infiltrators would agree to call out other groups of infiltrators who were "hidden" from view. In this way, the first group of agents managed to get larger numbers of invaders inside the opponent's camp, and forced the opposing leaders to surrender under the sheer weight of their numbers.
