"War is intolerable. We have been deceived into thinking that we must be a part of it. I say the moment we committed to fighting, we already lost."
―Duchess Satine Kryze — Listen (file info)
Satine Kryze, a human female Mandalorian, was the Duchess of Kalevala and the pacifistic ruler of the New Mandalorians and the planet Mandalore during the final decades of the Galactic Republic Era. Believing that change was Mandalore's only hope for a future, she longed to move her people beyond their violent warrior history. Although Mandalore prospered under her leadership, her goals made her a controversial figure and she faced opposition from Mandalorian groups who rejected her peaceful ideology. As the widespread Clone Wars raged across the galaxy, Kryze attempted in vain to keep Mandalore out of the conflict. One of the primary and most vocal critics of the war, she fought against the rising extremism and militarism that threatened her world. The burden of peace cost Kryze nearly everything as the war continued, and she ultimately fell victim to the forces that conspired to take her down.
A major advocate of the New Mandalorian movement in her youth, Kryze became the leader of Mandalore following the Mandalorian Civil War between the reformist New Mandalorians and the Mandalorian warriors of tradition. The war cost an immense loss of life, and Kryze led Mandalore through reconstruction, helping the planet rebuild into a peaceful society. Her actions continued to face opposition from insurgent groups, most actively the terrorist group Death Watch, among whose members was Kryze's estranged sister Bo-Katan. While Mandalore maintained its peace and prospered under Kryze, the Republic began to fracture and entered war with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Kryze chose not to choose a side in the conflict, making sure that Mandalore was neutral and becoming the leader of the Council of Neutral Systems. This move earned Kryze criticism from both the Republic and Confederacy, both of whom considered Mandalore to be a crucial asset to their war efforts.
The Clone Wars tested Kryze's leadership to its limit, with her planet facing supply shortages and an increase in terrorist activity by the Death Watch. The threat of the Death Watch led the Republic to consider occupying Mandalore, but Kryze knew that the Republic had, in reality, only wanted access to the system and that an occupation would only bring the war with it. Despite political setbacks, assassination attempts, and even an arrest warrant being levied against her, Kryze managed to appeal to the Republic Senate and halt the occupation before it could begin. Kryze's efforts also brought about the end of the Death Watch threat for a time. Mandalore continued to face issues as the war continued, with the growing presence of a black market on the planet and corruption among Kryze's fellow leaders. Kryze's defense of neutrality alienated her from the Republic and, although not many, she managed to find allies to help her deal with the crises, including her close friend, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, with whom she had a complicated past.
As the war raged on, the Death Watch became affiliated with the rogue Sith Lord Maul, who brought together several crime families to aid them in defeating Kryze once and for all. Known as the Shadow Collective, Maul led Death Watch leader Pre Vizsla and their militia to Mandalore's capital, tearing through the city and causing chaos. Kryze was deposed and arrested, though infighting among Death Watch brought about the death of Vizsla by Maul's hand as well as the defection of Bo-Katan. Bo-Katan freed Kryze from prison, and the two reconciled in order to find a way to rid Mandalore of Maul. The rescue was short-lived, though before her recapture Kryze was able to contact Kenobi on Coruscant. Maul, having a lust for revenge against Kenobi for an incident from years earlier, murdered the captive Kryze in front of the Jedi. Kryze died in Kenobi's arms, proclaiming her love for her friend as her government lay in ruin and Mandalore's era of peace and pacifism ended.
Early life
"I remember a time when Jedi were not generals, but peacekeepers." ―Satine Kryze — Listen (file info) Satine Kryze was born on the planet Kalevala in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. The daughter of Duke Adonai Kryze, Satine was a member of Clan Kryze, a clan aligned with the Kalevala-based House Kryze, at one point considered the Mandalorian royal family. Satine also had a sister, Bo-Katan, who she was close with when she was younger. At a young age, Kryze was brought to the homeworld of the Mandalorian people, Mandalore, where she took her first steps and spoke her first words. When she was a child, Satine was alive at a time when she was able to experience some of Mandalore's grass plains and wildlife before they became ravaged by wars, and one of her oldest and closest friends was Prince Tal Merrik of Kalevala. On Mandalore, Kryze received an education and lived a relatively normal childhood despite Mandalore's conflicts. Mandalore was a planet marked by a long history of internal and external warring factions and was controlled by practitioners of Mandalorian martial tradition during Satine's early years. As Kryze grew up, Mandalorian society was in the midst of an identity crisis. After centuries of countless wars and the environmental decline of their homeworld, many Mandalorians believed that change was needed. Rivalries between clans could prove brutal and long-lasting, and with warfare becoming increasingly advanced and destructive, Mandalore suffered. A turning point came when the planet's native biodiversity Satine had once known all but ceased to exist. The harsh reality of their once-beautiful world led many Mandalorians to alter their attitudes toward their ancient traditions and look to reform as a means of saving their society from collapse. From a young age, Kryze eschewed the warrior traditions of the Mandalorians and favored reformist and progressive causes, which put her at odds with more conservative-minded individuals on Mandalore who wanted to preserve the old ways and continue the custom of waging war for the glory of their world. As the Mandalorian people at large became disillusioned with their warrior traditions, the New Mandalorians were formed in the city of Sundari to achieve meaningful reforms. The New Mandalorian faction sought to reform Mandalorian society along peaceful lines by channeling their culture's best aspects away from self-destructive warring. Believing that Mandalore needed to change to have a future, the young Kryze was a major proponent of the New Mandalorian cause and began working with the political faction to create a constructive alternate way of life in Sundari. Because a majority of Mandalorians saw no lasting benefit to mercenary expertise in warfare, much of the civilian population of Mandalore harbored sympathies for the New Mandalorians and supported the faction, which recognized that the ruling warriors would only lead their world further toward its self-destruction.
Duchess of Mandalore
"Satine wanted peace. She wanted to stay out of this war. But she was not a fool. The war has come, and if she were still here, she would do anything to protect her world." ―Bo-Katan Kryze Satine Kryze was a human female who stood 1.77 meters tall, or 5 feet and 10 inches. Kryze had shoulder-length blond hair, striking blue eyes, and pale skin, along with a slender build and defined features. A strong-willed and ambitious leader, the central ideology that guided Kryze's rule of Mandalore was reformist, progressive, and pacifist. Her political passions started at a young age when she became a dedicated adherent of New Mandalorian reformism and began working with the faction. Motivated by the endless and destructive wars that had ravaged Mandalore's environment, Kryze rejected the old traditions of her people in favor of constructive policies that favored the Mandalorians' non-violent culture. At the core of her philosophy was the idea that Mandalore needed to change in order to secure a future and could only do so by moving beyond its warrior past, which she believed was the root of its problems. Despite disparaging her people's violent traditions, Kryze still participated in Mandalore's non-violent practices. Although her methods differed greatly from her opponents, Duchess Satine sought a similar end goal as many of her fellow Mandalorians: a strong, independent Mandalore. In the aftermath of the Mandalorian Civil War, Satine, horrified by the carnage of the volatile situation in which she had risen to power, adopted a strong pacifist viewpoint. Kryze believed that war was an intolerable state and described it as an "affront to life itself," and was so devoted to her cause that she valued peace more than her own life. As she had seen happen on Mandalore, she believed that violence would only lead to an unending cycle of more violence. As part of her pacifistic stance, Satine followed a strict morality on numerous topics. She had complex relationships with weaponry and interrogation, at times needing to employ both while harboring distaste for each. Though dismissed by some as an idealogue, Kryze argued that her position was no more than logical reasoning. Satine often sacrificed her personal life for her ideals. Her stubbornness risked pushing those closest to her away, and she struggled to keep her relationships from falling out. Duchess Satine ruled the Mandalorian people with a gentle and benevolent hand. Even with her ambitious and polarizing goals, however, she was unwilling to push others to align with her and acted only with the help and consent of her people. Her rule was marked by cultural change as she navigated the formerly martial Mandalore to a period of peace and prosperity it had never before experienced. Kryze was a polarizing and controversial public figure throughout her reign, alienating conservative voices that despised her rejection of the old ways but widely supported among much of the civilian population. Satine cared deeply for her people and was willing to do whatever she could to protect them in the face of adversity, and one of her guiding principles was her dedication to keeping them from becoming engulfed in conflict so soon after the civil war. Despite enjoying public support for her positions, Kryze faced a serious obstacle in the terrorist group Death Watch. Although she was devoted to her people, Satine and her government forwent transparency with them on the group's rising influence in favor of insisting that their society was at peace as part of her agenda to prove Mandalore's growth to intergalactic entities. While she publicly downplayed the Death Watch, Kryze herself was often in denial of their power and was prone to minimizing the threat they posed to her. Even after the revelation that they had become a full militia by the time of the Clone Wars, Kryze was conflicted in her approach to the terrorists. At times, she trusted her judgment that they would not harm the Mandalorian populace, believing instead that they would only target her and other public officials. Kryze kept herself headstrong by raising an eyebrow at everything around her in the name of her people's well-being. Though she prided herself on the differences between her government and the corrupt Galactic Republic, her regime began to falter to corruption during the Clone Wars. She blamed herself for allowing it to spread despite being entirely uninvolved and was not unwilling to criticize her government's actions, expressing her opinion that she and those who worked alongside her had failed to protect their people during the crisis. The fact that the smuggling operations had resulted in the mass poisoning of children deeply troubled her and brought out an emotionally impulsive and vindictive side of her. She uncharacteristically threatened both a school administrator and Captain Ru-Saxon of the Mandalorian Guard for disobeying and doubting her orders, even ignoring Senator Amidala's pleas for her to calm down. Satine believed that the best way to ensure future action against corruption was to educate the children and future generations of Mandalore. Kryze, who was young herself when she first began her work with the New Mandalorians, felt that the Mandalorian youth would benefit from learning new ideas and had to be taught to hold their leaders to account if their world was to continue to prosper. To Satine, any form of corruption in Mandalore's leaders was an act of treason on par with terrorism. The betrayal of Prime Minister Almec, whom Satine had suspected of corrupt practices but was willing to give the benefit of the doubt, outraged and hurt the duchess most. Almec had abused his position of authority to accumulate wealth and power for himself at the cost of the people's well-being, which Kryze saw as the ultimate betrayal of their trust. Throughout the Clone Wars, Duchess Satine foiled and outsmarted her enemies time and again, but her luck ran out when Vizsla aligned himself with Maul. The arrest of Almec had brought both Kryze and Mandalore back to a state of relative peace, but Death Watch's Shadow Collective-backed coup was effective in turning public opinion against Kryze's regime. Satine tried to convince her people that she would see them out of the chaos, but Vizsla's nationalistic fearmongering led the people of Sundari to side with him. Fighting a losing battle, Satine willingly surrendered to Vizsla in order to keep her beloved people from having to face more bloodshed. Even to the end of her rule, Satine was determined to avoid allowing herself and her government to be provoked to violence.
Views on the Republic and the Jedi
"The contamination of greed reaches deep and far within the Republic. Corporations, trade guilds, too many senators serving their own interests." ―Duchess Satine, on the Galactic Republic From her early years as a political activist with the New Mandalorians, Kryze found external support from the Galactic Republic, which supported her reform efforts following the Mandalorian Civil War. Though she was a nominal member, Kryze's allegiance was to Mandalore over the Republic, and she held a hard-line stance on sovereignty. Despite swearing an oath to the Republic, Satine was a staunch believer in independence and advocated for planets and systems across the galaxy to choose self-determination over blind loyalty to governments such as the Republic. Likewise, she strongly supported the rights of sovereign worlds to choose their own paths during the Clone Wars and, as such, championed neutrality across the galaxy. To Kryze, the Clone Wars represented a rise in extremism, and she believed that the Republic was intent on trampling the rights of its citizens in the name of military victories. Early in the war, Satine called for the de-escalation of the conflict, knowing that the war effort would collapse if planets refused to contribute. Because of her vocal opposition to the war, Kryze found enemies in both the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. From the start of the war, Satine characterized both governments as being overrun by extremists. In return, many in the Republic and Confederacy denounced Kryze as ignorant, with some opining that her positions were not true political middle ground and hypocritical since they believed the stubborn duchess was unwilling to collaborate with those she personally disagreed with. As the Clone Wars continued, Kryze came to believe that the Republic was beyond saving, and during her struggle to maintain Mandalore's neutrality, likened it to an oppressive force. When faced with the underhanded tactics of the Republic's bureaucracy, Kryze privately concluded in her frustration that the government's constituents needed to speak up as the Senate infringed upon their rights. On the nature of the Senate itself, Satine decried the body as incapable of creating good counsel and believed that it could not accomplish anything other than discord. Among members of Republic leadership, Kryze had a particular distaste for the policies and motives of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Vice Chair Amedda and harbored a deep mistrust of Republic authorities to help her without bias. Satine, who disavowed currency and corporate interests, routinely criticized the Republic for allowing the presence of corporations and trade guilds among its ranks. Although she felt that the Senate was contaminated with greed and filled with self-serving representatives, Duchess Satine found friends and allies in Padmé Amidala and members of the Council of Neutral Systems, such as Kin Robb and Onaconda Farr. Though Kryze was friendly with and trusting of Amidala, the two were politically unallied due to Mandalore's neutrality. Kryze supported the efforts of Amidala's faction to combat the Republic's military expansion and later willingly moderated the failed Confederate-Republic peace conference, which Amidala was a delegate to, in her throne room despite her misgivings for both governments. In addition to her opposition to the Republic's militarist activities, Kryze also denounced the militant actions taken by the Jedi Order. During her time under the protection of Master Qui-Gon Jinn and then-Padawan Obi-Wan, Satine witnessed firsthand the peacekeeping nature the Jedi ascribed to themselves and knew them to be devoted to their cause. By the time of the Clone Wars, however, Kryze viewed the Jedi differently. Satine saw the Jedi's political affiliation with the Republic and their involvement in the war as a betrayal of their core values. In her opinion, the Jedi had sacrificed their ideals for political convenience. Kryze described their reliance on violence to solve conflicts as foolhardy and compared their actions to a pseudo-crusade, though she admitted that they came from a place of devotion and commitment to the Order, albeit misguided. Satine found it amusing and ironic how the Jedi adopted the attitudes and titles of military officers while promoting themselves as peacekeepers.
"One can only survive the rigors of courtly formalities for so long."
"We are of the same mind."
―Both Senator Amidala and Duchess Satine often enjoyed the dangers they faced
Despite her pacifist principles and abhorrence of violence, Kryze had some skill in combat and could hold her own in a fight. When freeing Obi-Wan from the mines on Concordia, Kryze was attacked by a pair of Death Watch soldiers, and she managed to hold them back on her own before Obi-Wan intervened. She was a sly combatant, displaying as much during her trip to Coruscant aboard the Coronet. While fighting off the assassin droids, she and Obi-Wan weaved together back-to-back seamlessly, and she managed to grab Senator Merrik's blaster from him by stamping his foot then pulling herself out of his grasp in one swift move. Kryze was additionally capable of engaging in armed combat and had good aim with a blaster. When questioned about her choice to carry a deactivator by Obi-Wan, Satine reasoned that even though she was a pacifist, she wasn't unwilling to defend herself. Despite the dangers she often faced, the duchess enjoyed the adventure and risk she was involved in when it did not affect her people at large.
"Do you always carry a deactivator?"
"Just because I'm a pacifist doesn't mean I won't defend myself!"
―Obi-Wan questions Satine's choice to carry a deactivator pistol
As the ruler of Mandalore, Satine knew of the optics of her appearance and always took care to present herself with dignity and poise. Kryze fashioned her hair in a Kalevalan style and, in her wardrobe, made significant use of soothing and rich colors with floral-inspired designs meant to emulate the forests and lakes that once populated Mandalore's surface. Her elegant clothing, which rivaled that of even the infamously elaborate wardrobe of Padmé Amidala, was not worn out of vanity but was strategically chosen to reflect Mandalore's past beauty and remind those who saw her of what the planet once was and what it could still be. Despite her staunch pacifist stance, Kryze always carried a deactivator hold-out pistol, a small but powerful blaster that fired energy shots that could deactivate droids.
Shortly after her ascent to the throne, Duchess Satine became the owner of the Nau'ur-class yacht Coronet, a custom-built spaceliner manufactured by Kalevala Spaceworks. Built on Kryze's homeworld of Kalevala, the Coronet was designed with Satine's pacifist ideals in mind. The ship's distinctive design heavily reflected the hope that Mandalore would finally begin to prosper under her leadership. Elegant, versatile, and non-threatening in appearance, the Coronet expressed the qualities the new Mandalore looked to project to the galaxy with Satine as its leader. The craftsmanship of the Coronet was as utilitarian as Kryze's clothing; the ship made heavy use of materials and traditional fabrics from all over the Mandalore sector and was meant to showcase all that the Mandalorian people had to offer the galaxy.
The upper section of the Coronet was home to Satine and her traveling retinue and included various amenities for the royal guests. The Coronet was staffed by numerous servant and protocol droids, including LEP-series service droids and the more-advanced BD-3000 luxury droid. Though the ship's primary purpose was to be used as Kryze's personal transport for her and those that comprised her court, Satine ensured that the Coronet was not just a plaything of the elite but also a cheap mode of transportation for unwealthy travelers. The Coronet was a unique example of a vessel that combined functionality with an economic and political purpose. As a transport ship, Kryze's yacht allowed both Mandalorians and tourists passage throughout the Mandalore sector, which proved beneficial to the economies of several Mandalorian worlds, including Mandalore itself. Even after the fall of Kryze and the New Mandalorians, the Coronet continued to serve the Mandalorian people.
