This squad comes in the Starter box, it includes Maul, Gar Saxon, and the Mandalorian Supercommandos
Maul Provides 8 squad points and 3 force, which is pretty standard. He has no abilities that require keywords, so he's a very flexible commander, as he can lead any squad. This is a good reason why he is with Mandalorians, as they typically only interact with each other. His primary gimmick is being able to take damage instead of spending force, and the more damage on him, the more attack dice he gets in melee. He does do large amounts of damage, and even has a strong ranged attack, but his defences are sub-par for a primary character. His strengths, in addition to his damage, is his speed, and the ability to pull enemy characters towards him. He's not great at frontal attacks, despite appearances. instead, he's much better used as board control, and then speeding in and using his big damage to finish off damaged enemies.
Gar Saxon: 4 point secondary character
He brings ALOT of synergies with Mandalorians. Giving both them and him alot of mobility. He's excellent at shooting, but still pretty good at melee too (like many secondary characters, they're very tactically flexible). He's best used as a shooter though, since he can drop alot of dice and they get no cover. Which is fantastic, particularly since enemies will typically only get their basic defence dice against the attack.
Mandalorian Super Commandos: 4 point support unit
Very maneuverable with a good melee punch. They come with a unique ability, if enemy characters try to move away from engagement range, they take automatic damage.
Who should this squad ally with? easy, the other Mandalorians. The squad that has Bo Katan, and the Clan Kryse Mandos, is led by Ahsoka, but, it doesn't have to be. you can take any 8 squad point primary, but preferably one that doesn't have alot of synergies based on keywords. Asajj Ventress could lead the other Mandos, becuase only her slip away would be affected, and lord maul can still trigger it since he has Dathomirian. Jedi Master Luminara Unduli could actually be a good choice as well, even though she would never be able to use Precise Strike, gaining Full Recovery, Flow of the Force, and her additional healing would be very useful to maul and the mandos. You chould just as easily swap Maul out for any of those others as well.
