in the 7th episode of the mandalorian, we saw the empire was on mandalore this whole time building their base. I believe it was the empire that spread the rumour that Mandalore was poinsoned. I think they did this through a spy that could be trusted by the only people that would venture back to Mandalore, the Mandalorians. I think the spy is the armorer who is a Darth Maul loyalist like Moff Gideon as they both have horned helmets. Moff’s looked like Gar Saxon, and the armorer could very well be rook cast which I’ve made a video on a few weeks ago.

I think the Empire forced this lie onto mandalorians for two reasons, one being to create that imperial base of course, and the other is to harvest all the beskar they want from the mines of mandalore. Moff Gideon used a lot of beskar in those white flying storm troopers he had which were impervious to attack. As well as the armor he had created for himself, dark trooper phase 3 which is lightsaber resistant.

With the Empire forging a base on Mandalore, I think this created a hub for them to continue all their work, research, and infrastructure without anyone knowing due to the planet’s fake radiation claims.

I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of stuff Moff Gideon has developed on Mandalore and how it’ll all come crumbling down when Bo Katan becomes ruler of Mandalore. Hopefully she rides the mythosaur into battle.
