The King was intrigued by these Mandalorians. There were quite a lot of similarities even if they seemed a bit far fetched.

"I think you would be surprised between the similarities. The Mandalorians fled from a government which is what we also did, though albeit with different motives. Ever since the Mardakii invasion Stoinians have become quite militaristic in your terms. We also train our children from birth to fight. That's why every school has a mandatory 4 hour sports program where military doctrine is initiated. This ensures that the populace is ready to fight any encroaching xeno. That's also one of the reasons why the Velutarians had such a hard time when they were forced to fight on the ground against our troops. I don't think I need to tell you that if you push a Stoinian hard enough, he will protect what is rightfully his with a fanaticism similar to these Mandalorians. Fighting to the bitter end is viewed as a glorious one."

He took another sip from his wine.

"And while we don't share the same expansionist values, we do share that similar stories are told about us. I am sure the Ryccian media has done their part well in that. If it wouldn't be too much of a stretch, would it be possible to meet one of these Mandalorians during our visit here."
