Super Comando Codex - Tumblr Posts

I’m 90% sure the thing that pissed off Tor was just Jaster saying “colonialism is bad actually.” Seeing as a history buff like Jaster would know about the Neo Crusaders and probably look at the consequences of their actions and go “hmm. maybe we should not repeat that”. Especially with the Dral’han having happened because the republic decide Malachor V was Not Enough. Also, I suspect he might object to murdering civilians the way the Neo Crusaders did.

Within the codex I do think there would be some mention of placing Honor long before Glory, as well as explicitly referencing the Neo Crusaders and their actions as an example of why it’s important to do so. Tor is likely marketing Deathwatch as sort of heirs to the Neo Crusaders so. That’d be enough to piss him off. Jaster also likely wrote specific prohibition of stealing kids to indoctrinate them like the Neo Crusaders did, and Deathwatch canonically does. Adoption is fine, kidnapping is Not. Pretending Kidnapping is adoption would likely be considered a serious crime by the codex.

The Codex would also likely place a lot of value on civilian professions since Jaster is from Concord Dawn, a largely agricultural world and was probably raised as a farmer first and a warrior second himself. Tor, however, is from the Mandalorian equivalent of nobility and has no concept of just how important non-combatants are to a society, and is mad at them being considered equal to warriors in the codex.

Tor’s ultimate goal seems to be holding a mandalorian empire, essentially, with similar tactics to those the Neo Crusaders used. Jaster’s goals seem to be more about the survival of his people and culture.

Tor wants the galaxy to bend to his idea of what Mandalorians should be. He wanted glory without caring about honor. Jaster wanted his people to live by their own definition, so long as they don’t harm their people. He wanted honor with caring about glory.

Side note: I think he was very upset that Cassus Fett’s descendants did not side with him, seeing as Cassus was the primary strategist and one of the major leaders of the Neo Crusaders. Tor would likely have expected them to want to return to their families glory days rather than, you know, be happy just being farmers. And that’s part of why he took Arla, to try and make her his Cassus Fett

I’m very sorry this is a whole essay :’)
