OK looking for help/input with something that just came up in my game of star wars, More of a story question than any sort of rules problem (thus the thread location) I wanted to know how many Mandalorians from around the Galaxy would show up on Dantooine if someone claiming to be Mandalore the Fierce made an open invitation via the Holo-net and was effectively calling for a new crusade. Only info was a declaration of who she was and instructions to meet on Dantooine.
Background info: Setting is 35 After the Battle of Yavin, Gallaxy is in turmoil, The New Republic is heavily militarized, The Empire is still ruled by Palpatine despite his many defeats and reincarnations but has been reduced to holding 10% or so of the empire's original planets. The Yuzong Vong were never a thing (If they had attacked a sector fleet of the New Republic could have handled them.) And Luke is a Hot cocoa drinking Jedi Master who only occasionally comes out of teaching/retirement to kick Palpatine's @$$ again. The Empire is desperate to get any advantage on the new Republic and it's a resource/personnel War (especially with Force Sensitives). Throw into this refugees from the Old Sith Empire from the Unknown Regions trying to make their own pocket kingdoms, Xim the Despot and his droid armies taking the Tion Hegemony from the New Republic, general alien super-weapon hi-jinks and Force goings on and it is a fairly turbulent time.
What the galaxy at large might know: Certain people in the know do know that this Mandalore the Fierce is/was a "Free-trader", She is a Nagai patriot that helped them throw back another Toff Invasion, and the person who killed at least 1 Imperial High Inquisitor (read wanna be Vader, actual count is 3). She and a band of Jedi, rogue Sith and Mandalorians (of which she was obviously in charge) also saved Yavin's Jedi Academy from (another) plot to destroy it, that had an unexpected MT-AT and dozens of automated sentry turrets installed at the academy by her order. When the Hapes cluster started their own Jedi academy under Jedi Master Mason Kendo, he took the students aboard her ship the "Dragon's Lair" a heavy military transport because he said they would be safer there than anywhere else. They then bounced around the sector being chased by Imperials bent on getting the young students.
My thoughts: Not every Mando hidden around is going to be available, but a few are going to be sent to check things out before reporting back on wither this is legit. There will no doubt be a few New Republic observers, Imperial agents and Mandalore wannabes that show up to challenge her and make trouble. As it is Legends there are no giant planets of mando's out there, we are just talking about those that have settled around the galaxy and blended in. The actual planet of Mandalore and most who were hanging out/colonized in the unknown regions are not available for plot reasons, we are just concerned with those within the New Republic/Empire area.
TLDR: It's 35 ABY and Mandalore the Fierce calls on all Mandalorians to join her, Who do you think would show up?
PS: Boba Fett is not interested in the job of Mandalore and will likely not show up, but may be watching with interest to see what happens.
