"Heck no. A while later, under Mand'alore the Uniter, we had rebuilt ourselves to the point that other systems actually paid us to protect them from threats. We were on the path to becoming a superpower.
Mandalore was industrialized.
The warrior class lead society, with the artisans and workers supporting them in return for protections from threats. It was a bear perfect system, the clans ruling their own households while the Mand'alore kept us all in line. We were powerful."

"It's almost dark, let's move on to step three shall we?"
-
"Alright. Actually, how about we call it a day. I'll meet you here again tomorrow and we can start teaching you Mando'a." Cannon offers.
-
"Yeah... That works too. I need the sleep I'm assuming?"
-
"Both of us do. Plus I haven't seen my wife much since I got back, and I'd like to spend some time with her and my daughter."
-
"You have a daughter???"
-
"Extremely long story, but yes. Her name is Tracinya, or Traci for short." Cannon says, smiling a bit.
-
"Huh... Nice name. I'll see you tomorrow."
-
Cannom nods. "See you tomorrow, ner vod." He turns to leave. [spoiler]Timeskip?[/spoiler]

[b][i][u]timeskip several weeks later[/u][/i][/b] Nathaniel, clad in a tear resistant grayish blue flighrsuit, boards a Mando transport along with Cannon and another Mando in black and white armor known as Shames.
-
[b]Nathaniel shifted slightly, looking almost uncomfortable in the outfit [/b]
-
"You alright?" Cannon asks him.
-
"A bit Nervous is all.
-
"Don't be. You'll be fine." Cannon pats his shoulder reassuringly.
-
"Vor'e. Did I say that right?"
-
"You're practically a native already." Cannon grins. The man in skeletal armor turns to him. "Alright lad, we're almost to the Dxun hunting grounds. I'll go over the rules of the hunt again."
-
"Yeah, gedet'ye vaabir." [b]Nathaniel turned to face the man in skeletal armor [/b]
-
The man nods. "You'll be dropped in the jungle with your hunting knife and some supplies. Find a predator, kill it, and bring a trophy to the LZ, which you will mark with a flare. You may not take any weapons with you into the jungle besides the knife, though you may make whatever you can once in the jungle. Any questions?"
-
"Predator. The one from the movie?"
-
Cannon laughs. "No, thank the Manda. There are some real big nasties in that jungle, kill a big one and you get more respect from the clan." Cannon tells him.
-
"Understood bossman." [b]Nathaniel got to his feet and stretched out. He had left his weapons in his apartment at the dojo [/b] "Any of you have a knife by chance?"
-
The skeletal Mando draws an old looking knife, covered in runes, and hands it to him. "Good luck, lad." The ship doors open, revealing a clearing in the middle of the jungle.
-
[b]Nathaniel took the blade and turned.[/b] "Here goes..." [b]He jumped out of the shuttle into the outside world [/b]
-
He hears the heavy thump of a satchel land beside him before the transport lifts off.
-
[b]Nathaniel grabbed the satchel, checking it's contents [/b]
