Kal Skirata
Kal Skirata is a Mandalorian who was hired by Jango Fett to train squads of Republic Commandos; one of the Cuy'val Dar. Like Walon Vau, he had to leave his home and everyone he knew behind and never leave Kamino for the duration of the training.
Skirata trained the original squads of Niner, Darman, and Fi. He thought it important that the commandos know their Mandalorian heritage. In addition, the six surviving Null ARC Troopers - a Kaminoan experiment to enhance Jango Fett's genome - remain loyal to him alone. Kal often travels with N-11, whom he calls "Ordo".
He appears in the short story Omega Squad: Targets, and will appear in Republic Commando: Triple Zero.
Kal Skirata Quotes:
Think of yourselves as a hand. Each of you is a finger, and without the others you're useless. Alone, a finger can't grasp, or control, or form a fist. You are nothing on your own, and everything together.
You can never have perfect knowledge in combat, gentlemen. It's what we call the fog of war. You can either sit around worrying what's real and what's not, or you can realize the enemy hasn't got a clue either and fire off a few rounds of psychology. A truly great army is one that only has to rattle its saber to win a war.
