Continuing the blog series detailing each faction's structures and units, this time with the Mandalorian Raiders! Specific units' abilities, research and support powers will be detailed later.
Legend:
- Name (#) = Tier #
- Name = Heroic Unit/Unique Structure
The Mandalorian Raiders are a conglomerate of several different clans united under the banner of Kento Lynns, a charismatic clan leader who wanted the Mando'ade to return to their glorious days of conquest. Contrary to the Republic who want to eradicate Tiberium, the Raiders have incorporated the green crystal into their everyday lives and made it into the lifeblood of the Mandalorian war machine. The Raiders are also much less squeamish in terms of warfare, as they do not hesitate to utilize flamethrowers, shrapnel- and Tiberium-based weaponry and other less ethical tactics to accomplish their goal.

That's it for the Mandalorian Raiders. For the anecdote, I was listening heavily to the Republic Commando soundtrack while dreaming up this roster. :P
Next: the Grand Army of the Republic!
