It is however the quality workmanship of the rifles that made it a chief supplier of arms to various galactic factions to this day.

Uulshos Manufacturing was the manufacturer of many repulsorlift vehicles as well as space yachts, but are best known for the Light Assault Vehicle/repulsorlift QH-7 Chariot and Storm Skimmer. They have had limited commercial success as many of their designs are unexceptional and are built for small planetary militias and defense forces. They also produced the Uulshos Justice droid.

Damorian Manufacturing Corporation a small company that manufactures starships and starship components. The company's main product was the Carrack-class light cruiser.

Infantry Equipment

Beskad
A Beskad was an ancient Mandalorian sword made of durasteel. Their construction is conducted by Mandalorian smiths, this gave them a natural strength and resistance to lightsabers. Now is your opportunity to own one for yourself!
There are arenas with gladiators whom need swords, there are palaces with warlords who want to boast, officers who want to show their pride and of course, the special forces who need quality material to conduct operations. Why not use the best? Use a Beskad!

Mandalorian Ripper
The Ripper was highly versatile and upgradeable. When properly modified and in the hands of a capable marksman, they proved devastating to opponents. They also ignored personal shielding, giving the wielder an advantage in ranged combat if both combatants were shielded.
Despite being a slugthrower, it was legally classified as a disruptor weapon, and thus banned for civilian use on most Republic worlds

TG40 Trench Gun
A typical weapon of Mandalorian close combat specialists, the Trench Gun is a powerful Shotgun capable of firing rapidly due its two barrel nature but after every second shot, it needs to be cocked again.
Its internal mechanism heats the laser bolts and creates pellets akin to incendiary rounds, capable of light armor.

Mandalorian Assault Rifle
Mandalorian assault rifles were powerful weapons. They were so powerful that they were considered almost overpowered for their size. However, this wouldn't bother their Mandalorian users who, in general, were not known for subtlety during war. The weapon was short and had a thumb through stock with a small scope. Modern variations are sometimes called "Vulcans" and have a longer scope.

AR17 Kaira
The Kaira is the latest variant of the old Mandalorian Assault Rifle and is highly advanced, its systems can be integrated with armor and be linked to the user's heads-up-display easily and has an holographic screen showing various information needed in battle.
It has advanced fire control and a built in grenade launcher and silencer, at the cost of having very limited scope options.

S99 Vengeful
Built by BeskadTech for special forces who need to move quickly in urban environments and provide cover for fireteams, Vengeful is named after its creator. The weapon is short and rugged with a small scope and a silencer, it can fire rapidly when required and not in beam form, so it does not give away the marksmen's position. These features also make it very nice as a hunting rifle.

S101 Hopper
The Sniper Rifle Model 101 or Hopper for short, was manufactured by BeskadTech as a long range anti-material and anti-personal rifle for special agents who needed to remove important targets at long ranges. This required much tinkering as traditional sniper rifles left a long beam trail when shot, engineers found a work around and made the Hopper be not only silent but also invisible when firing.
The Hopper is long and smoothly made with few rugged edges, its both comfortable and deadly.

Mandalorian Heavy Repeater
The Mandalorian heavy repeater was employed by the Mandalorians, during the Mandalorian Wars at the time of the Old Republic, who believed that the only thing better than a big weapon was a fast firing one. Not designed for subtlety, these weapons were mainly used as a frontline weapon due to their very high firing rate combined with the firepower typical of all Mandalorian weapons. In honor of the warrior who once wielded these type of weapons, the modern variation has been nicknamed the "Preserver" by some.

Mandalorian Melee Shield
These shields were characterized by the purple energy field they projected around the wearer. However, their drawback was that they burned out after absorbing so much damage, and could only be reactivated for a certain number of times before being discarded.
Mandalorian power shields were an upgraded version of the melee shield that offered this additional defense against energy attacks.
they were developed and utilized by the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders, these shields saw widespread use within their ranks during the Mandalorian Wars During that time they served to augment the already formidable protection offered by their assault armor.

Shock Trooper Armor
Mandalorian armor was a catch-all term for the distinctive armor worn by Mandalorian warriors and soldiers throughout the millennia. It was special in many ways, including that it was lightsaber proof. In Mando'a, the armor was known as beskar'gam, or literally "iron skin" in their language—a display of just how central their armor was to a Mandalorian's life.
The wearer was protected from the majority of all blaster fire.
The helmets almost always possessed a T-shaped visor and a sophisticated heads-up display
Mandalorian warriors decorated their armor to reflect personal accomplishments, clan affiliation, or simply personal preference. They often repainted their armor to reflect rank, clan, and possibly the current terrain. They were also known to paint their armor in the traditional colors that represented specific causes the individual might currently be undertaking. The colors, however, did not always have a specific meaning. Sometimes they were just colors that the particular Mandalorian liked. Some Mandalorians wore pieces of armor to honor relatives, both dead and alive.

=Battle Legionnaires=
The BL-series Battle Legionnaires were battle droids produced by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in limited quantities for the Mandalorian Protectors during the Clone Wars.

They were similar in design to the 3PO-series protocol droid and were armed with Briletto-made weapons, such as the AAP-11 blaster. Almost the entire production run, along with a large number of the Protectors, would meet their end on Norval II during an attempt to capture Padmé Amidala.

The droids now once again see use in the Mandalorian Army and have of course been upgraded to meet modern standards. They were great then and they are great now, equal to Mandalorian Warriors in some extent and as such are regarded as if they were a genuine flesh and blood warrior with even some Mandalorians taking up to giving the Legionnaire's nicknames and developing a certain attachment to them.

Vehicles

Canderous Main Battle Tank
The Canderous Main Battle Tank was a heavy repulsor lift tank produced by MandalMotors. It was named after famous Mandalorian Canderous Ordo. It was protected by armor that rivalled that of an Imperial AT-AT walker. It was armed with two heavy mass-driver cannons and a concussion missile battery. Despite its weight, it could move in places inaccessible to walkers.
It is a frequently used Mandalorian MBT and is held in high regard among soldiers.

MZ-8 Mobile Pulse Cannon
The T31 is an upgrade over the old MZ-8 Mobile Pulse Cannon, this one housed a Taim & Bak heavy pulse cannon mounted on a Yutrane-Trackata heavy tank chassis. The vehicle sacrificed both speed and mobility for firepower.
When charging for a plasma shot, the tank projected a purple shield in front of its turret. When charging completed, a large purple plasma burst was emitted from the cannon. The cannon was not turreted and the entire tank had to turn in order to line the gun up with its target.
Its devastating cannon bordered that of a light artillery gun and it was able to bring down a AT-AT if it fired the first shot and was lucky enough to hit the walker where it hurts, though supporting units were always welcome.

Missile Attack Launcher 40A
The Missile Attack Launcher 40A (MAL40A)was used by the Mandalorian army for some time as it was a easy to use fast artillery unit that is even faster then the Tal 48G.
It was capable of configuring into a long-range missile launcher; however, when it did this, it was rendered immobile. It was armed with three turreted concussion missile launchers and was capable of shooting them in rapid succession; however, this resulted in reduced range. When deployed, it would utilize its missile system for increased range attacks against enemy forces. They were also capable of switching between the standard concussion missile armaments and carbonite missiles, the latter of which were capable of slowing enemy vehicles and administering heavy damage to infantry squads.

Teroch-type Gunship
The Teroch-type gunship, named for a Mando'a word "pitiless", was a fast-attack gunship used by Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders during the Mandalorian Wars. If they broke through an enemy line they could surround enemy capital ships in moments.
Its speed is unparalleled to make up for its light-medium armor, it can evade anti-air by flying at its top speed which make the Teroch loved by pilots as they can now deliver their ordnance of missiles and heavy blaster fire to the enemy without going down. The Teroch also has a limited ability to engage in dogfights due its speed but it should not be expected to win often.

Starships

M3-A Scyk Fighter
The M3-A Scyk fighter was a light interceptor, the lightest of all the starfighter designs produced by its Mandalorian manufacturer, MandalMotors. It was named after the Scyk lizard of Tatooine.
Although the Scyk barely provided more amenities to its pilot than a TIE/ln starfighter did, it had two strong points - it was cheap and its weapon mount was designed to handle nearly anything. Its standard equipment consisted of a weapon, an engine, a reactor, a capacitor and a weak shield generator. Its laser cannon could be easily swapped for an ion cannon, concussion missiles or a proton torpedo launcher. Large organizations used this versatility to create wings of starfighters with complementary weapon mixes, while individual pilots benefited by replacing or upgrading damaged weapons anywhere in the galaxy. Apart from that, it had very little room for modifications and additional equipment, and was not able to fit a booster or a flight computer in addition to its default equipment, which made its pilots rely on allied ships to plot a hyperspace jump.

G1-M4-C Dunelizard Fighter
The Dunelizard fighter was based upon the M3-A Scyk fighter, retaining that vessel's wedge-shaped wings, though the later model included a number of advanced features. The Dunelizard added heavier payload and shields, but retained the swiftness and maneuverability that made the Scyk popular with Hutts and other criminal organizations including space pirates such as Erkon the Vile.

M12-L Kimogila Heavy Fighter
The M12-L Kimogila heavy fighter was the heaviest in MandalMotors line of snubfighters. The M12 was used by the Hutt crime organizations to protect their 'interests' and were often crewed by mercenary pilots.
This custom Hutt starfighter was long ranged and could serve multiple roles in space combat. Its numerous gun emplacements classified the ship as a heavy fighter, and its torpedo capabilities allowed it to function as a bomber in special circumstances. This flexibility made it quite popular among free mercenaries. Though it lacked the speed and maneuvering capabilities of its predecessors, its ability to cause wanton slaughter could outweigh these factors.

Crusader-class Corvette
Made to counter starfighters and bombers, the Crusader-class corvette carried as many weapons as it could without compromising space-worthiness. It was also faster then any other similar ship of its time. Together, these attributes made the Crusader an extremely pricey vessel.

Crusaders were also known to utilize an advanced point-defence weapon system that allowed the ships to actually shoot down enemy missiles or torpedoes before they damaged friendly ships. This made the corvettes a valuable support addition to a fleet.
They were possibly based on the Kandosii-class of earlier centuries.

Jorir-type Warship
The dagger-shaped class was similar in appearance to the Venator-class Star Destroyer produced millennia later for the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. The vessel was armed with anti-capital ship missiles.
It had at least four main thrusters, arranged similarly to the later Venator-class and several small auxiliary thrusters. Given it successfully pursued the command ship Courageous from the battlefield, its top speed was the same or greater than the Inexpugnable-class.

Cabur-class Cruiser
The Mandalorian cruiser was a warship design used by the Mandalorian warrior clans during the Great Galactic War.

These cruisers took part in the blockade of the Hydian Way, which resulted in a major military and economic crisis for the Galactic Republic. This blockade was later broken by Hylo Visz and her band of smugglers, when they aided the Republic Navy in besting the Mandalorian fleet.

Keldabe-class Battleship
Like the Crusader-class corvette, it was a Mandal Hypernautics design. It was named after Mandalore's capital, Keldabe.
Ships of the class were able to compete with the Galactic Empire's Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Keldabes were armed with turbolasers, ion cannons, and a special mass driver weapon capable of firing directly through enemy shields. The mass drivers were located in between the two engine systems and at the front of the ship.

Mandalorians are among the top warriors in the galaxy, throughout the ages they were known to provide their services to the highest bidder in times where Mandalore had no need for armies and navies.
Mandalorian mercenaries utilize military grade equipment and will fight just as fanatically for their employer as they would for Mand'alor.
