(MNB) Aloriya, Manda - Speaking from the headquarters of Mando'ade today in the capital city of the planet Manda, Mand'alor Kai Oryk made the following statement:

"Su'cuy - Greetings, I stand before you to announce the formal transition of Mando'ade from a mercenary group to the official governing body of all Mando'ade space. Over many years now we have seen our role here transform from that of just another inhabitant to the sole protectors, developers, and governors of these planets we inhabit. Our mission has also evolved in that time, and in addition to providing top tier mercenary services, we found ourselves creating homes and building communities for our fellow Mandalorians, as well as providing for the myriad of other beings with whom we share our space."

"It is time for us to formally acknowledge our role as the sole governing group in our sectors. It is time to further provide for the welfare of the people who live here and have looked to us for leadership for over a decade now. We who are able must provide that leadership, and beginning now will do so officially. Mando'ade will lead all people in our charge to a brighter, better society centred around our Mandalorian values and culture."

"Finally to my Mandalorian kin, I say this: Seek us! The ultimate purpose of Mando'ade has always been and will always be to serve, guide, and protect each of the Mandalorian individuals, clans, and communities around the galaxy. You need not be a member of our government to be our comrade or ally. If ever you need any form of assistance in any one of your endeavours, Mando'ade shall provide it so long as it is within our power. Each of you are our brothers and sisters, no matter where you call home. Even now as several clans have united under our banner and a dream long held by many has come to fruition, even as we work tirelessly for the betterment of our own group and our culture, you who have not joined with us are not forgotten."

"We are no gatekeepers of our shared culture, and you are excluded from nothing. Vode an. Oya!"

"Haat, Ijaat, Haa'it - Truth, Honour, Vision!"
