The Orcs were swiftly defeated by the armies led Mandalor and peace was restored to the land. This period of tranquility was short-lived as he did not dispatch his armies and sought instead to expand his empire. Thus The Mandalorian Empire was founded.

She decides to withdraw her declaration of war until she can muster up a force large enough to restore order to the entire kingdom.
