BalCalistan

BalCalistan is a Mandalorian Veteran most famous for winning a voided duel with Dekomet for the title of Mand'alor, building the first ever finished Keldabe - hosted under his Mandalorian Empire - and recruiting an enormous amount of foundlings and new generations of Mandalorians from 2015 - 2020. Most Mandalorian scholars consider him to be one of the greatest diplomats in Community history, among the likes of phantomface, JasterVerad, and S_39.

Early Life on Roblox
BalCalistan joined Roblox on the 1st of March, 2013 and joined a colonial based Roblox group. He later turned to a victorian-era group known as the Republic of Texas, as well as Nightgaladeld's USA. He later joined the Star Wars Genre and began raiding PalpatineGCWs Galactic Empire, most famously known as VitiateSWTOR. It was reported that Bal would often dress as a wookiee jedi and purposely get himself arrested at Vitiate's Yavin IV base just so that he could use exploits to no-clip out of the jail cell and claim it was the force that opened the cell doors.

He made a jedi group known as the Remnants of the Jedi, a GCW era group that was later annexed by TyrosMortem during his early wars against the genre.

Great Fando Migration
BalCalistan came into contact with the Mandalorian Community in 2015, being considered one of the first Mandalorian fando groups during the great fando migration. He made a Mandalorian Empire which drew the ire of the Community due to its profuse reliance on ads - at the time seen as despicable - and used JasterVerad's old Legion of Blood uniforms. After making his group, he assisted IPreVizsla in taking down the The Dark Mandalorians, an organization that was formed during an officer's coup in a fando group known as The Red Demon. Following the destruction of the Dark Mandalorians, iPreVizsla and Bal's Empire went to war which ended following a duel between the two leaders. Although Bal won the duel, iPreVizsla claimed victory in the conflict.

Bal was later invited to join the Community with the caveat of changing his rank from Mand'alor. After BalCalistan refused this proposal, the Community declared war. After several raids, Bal was challenged to a duel by the official Mand'alor at the time, Dekomet. After BalCalistan won this duel, the duel was voided for an unknown reason and Bal was exiled - his group later dying from inactivity.

First Mandalorian Unification War
During the Fando Migration, the Mandalorian Community had split up due to Mand'alor Dekomet giving the title to MirtaRuni, a Mandalorian Veteran, afterwhich Dekomet quit. After Mirta was given the title, a faction was made known as the Mandalorian Unification, made up of veterans and newcomers.

BalCalistan was invited to the Unification and participated in raids and the organization of one of their groups known as the Mandalorian Order, ran by Lord_Dacanoe. The Mandalorian Order was eventually admin abused by followers of MirtaRuni which destroyed the group. By this time the Mandalorian Unification war was coming to an end as well, which resulted in both sides dying of inactivity and leaving iPreVizsla and MEAN to try and revive the community.

Mandalorian Dark Age
Following the Unification War, the Community went through a dark age, where several minor Mand'alors held the title, however they were unable to revive the Community and continue its progression. BalCalistan, primarily acting as a self-stylized "fando-hunter", crusaded small fando groups in the name of the Community. Most were destroyed, some subjugated and incorporated. At one point during these early crusades, he even persuaded a fando leader to give him his password, upon which he promptly their account. This same individual, whos name is lost to time, had provoked such action through the robbing of BalCalistan's home clan, Aliit Calistan.

BalCalistan also participated in the Mandalorian election, which was an election organized by the Community to replace Mand'alor FoxDecarian after his disappearance - known to us now to be caused by his mother, who disconnected his internet access. Although he lobbied for the election of iPreVizsla, Caine2000 was instead elected as Mand'alor.

New Mandalorian Community
After the Mandalorian Community failed to revive itself many times, they eventually gave up, BalCalistan having moved onto other things. He was then contacted by Lord_Dacanoe, claiming to have found the rightful Mand'alor and planned on reviving the community. Bal reluctantly joined under the condition that Taker's rules be abolished and replaced with a Constitution. The Constitution regulated the powers of the Mand'alor, which he believed would establish a long peace in the community, and stabilize the rule of law. Lord_Dacanoe later tried to abolish this constitution and remove the newly elected Mand'alor, Merk_Torras from power, which resulted in Bal Calistan organizing an insurrection, which ended with the exile of Lord_Dacanoe.

Following Dacanoe's removal, Bal Calistan found himself being one of the few advisors to Mand'alor Merk. Merk, who was never very good with diplomacy, left all the efforts of recruitment and unification to BalCalistan. Throughout Merk's reign, Bal organized meetings with fando groups, recruited fando groups, and took part in all of the Community's foreign diplomacy. Bal's efforts in reunification would help earn Merk the title of Mand'alor the Uniter.

After many months of peace and relatively high activity, it had become clear that Merk_Torras was being controlled by outside powers, one of which was an individual by the name of "Kate". Bal Calistan, not wanting Kate to gain any more control, attempted to take the title from Merk. Before Bal had won the duel with Merk, Merk had given the title to Ryedego, which led to a civil war. Following the start of this civil war, ZoradThanar was invited by Lord_Dacanoe to claim the title, leading the members of the newly-formed "Mandalorian Coalition" into conflict against Ryedogo. The Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders, having been recently re-acquired by S_39 after NaastWerda's selling of the group to AttonValorius, declared war on Merk and Ryedogo after the dissolution of the Mandalorian Coalition following Merk's back-room deal with ryedogo to retain power. In the end, S_39 became the Mand'alor after the endorsement of phantomface following the removal of Zorad_Thanar and the defeat of Ryedego.

S_39's Reign
During S_39's reign, BalCalistan worked as an advisor and led the Mandalorian papacy, a Mandalorian political movement used to launch crusades and enforce Mandalorian cultural law. S_39 later encountered troubles with the Merkalorians - a vestigial group of mandalorians still loyal to Merk's government post-civil war - at which point BalCalistan, having his relationship slowly sour with S_39, turned to once again orchestrate an insurrection, which led to the death of the community in mid-2018. After S_39 "left" and was replaced by the next Mand'alor, Omnidimios - who was an alt of S_39, though who's identity was not known until months later - had rebuilt the Mandalorian Protectors using S_39's old crusader armies, and was determined to re-establish the community as it was before. At this time, BalCalistan plotted to help rebuild the community as it was under Merk, which led to conflict between the two parties.

MirtaRuni's Reign
MirtaRuni's reign was short and uneventful, having been placed on the throne as a substitute, or puppet Mand'alor by S_39, who wished to rebuild the community, but knew that the Merkalorians would not accept him again after the brutal civil war. The Community primarily worked on expanding development during her reign, but she took very little part in it, deciding to focus on her own outside projects instead. On December 6, 2019, Bal Calistan took a major part in the First December Assembly and arranged for the recreation of the Mandalorian Church and famously posed the question, "What should happen to Mirta?" following the vote that decided the title would be chosen by a Clan vote.

December Revolution
Bal Calistan would later play a key role in the December Revolution, being the first person to be removed from the Mandalorian Discord by the MirtaRuni Loyalists. He became a spokesperson and major figure for the revolution.

Legacy/Final days
Bal Calistan later became a diplomat and statesman for the Community, primarily operating on discord due to his old age. He negotiated the "Friendly raid" treaty between the Community and the SenoHutt Cartel. The treaty was later broken by SenoHuttCW and the Community declared a never-ending crusade against his group.

Bal Calistan recruited several fando clans and organizations to the Community, and along with CastBoys06 played a key role in planning several revolutions and mutinies in iSolarisX's Mandalorian Empire.

Known alternative accounts include the following:

Bal Calistan was banned on 7/1/20 for having the username MandoLivesMatter, he was laid to rest in St. Prudii's Basilica that night. A recording of his funeral can be found here. Three days later he was unbanned and his name was changed to "Reset20155615", however he never came back to Roblox.

 * JasterVerbad
 * JabbaTheHuttSW
 * Wilhelmli
 * MandoLivesMatter

His legacy is one of diplomatic excellence, as well as an orchestrator of pointless civil wars and internal conflicts that delayed the community's development for years.
