About Gar Saxon

A ruthless Mandalorian warrior who rose through the ranks of various military organisations, Gar Saxon carved out a reputation as one of the galaxy’s most formidable enforcers. Originally serving with the Shadow Collective during the Clone Wars, he commanded Mandalorian super commandos under the criminal syndicate’s banner, demonstrating both tactical brilliance and unwavering loyalty to those who paid his price.

Following the rise of the Galactic Empire, Saxon transferred his allegiances to the new regime, becoming the Imperial Governor of Mandalore. In this role, he oversaw the brutal suppression of his own people, prioritising Imperial authority over Mandalorian tradition. His transformation from clan warrior to Imperial puppet marked a controversial chapter in Mandalorian history, as he actively hunted down resistance fighters and enforced the Empire’s harsh rule across his homeworld.

Saxon’s military prowess extended beyond conventional warfare into the realm of specialised combat units. He led the Imperial Super Commandos, an elite force that combined traditional Mandalorian combat techniques with Imperial training and equipment. These warriors served as his personal enforcers, carrying out missions that required both precision and intimidation.

His reign of terror came to an end in 2 BBY on the planet Krownest, where his aggressive pursuit of rebel forces ultimately led to his downfall. Portrayed by Ray Stevenson, Saxon embodied the complex moral landscape of wartime collaboration, representing those who chose personal advancement over cultural loyalty during one of the galaxy’s darkest periods.
