The Darksaber’s End…
Kryze’s expedition ultimately learned that Gideon, who escaped New Republic custody after his previous encounter with Djarin, was marshalling his remnant forces deep beneath the surface of Mandalore. Going to battle against the Remnant, Kryze engaged Gideon in single combat, temporarily overwhelmed by his modified Dark Trooper program’s advanced body armor. Using his enhanced strength, Gideon disabled the Darksaber by crushing the weapon’s blade emitter in Kryze’s hand, breaking apart the housing and seemingly destroying the ancient weapon.
The damaged hilt was recovered by the Mandalorians in the wake of their victory against Gideon’s forces, placing it at the heart of Mandalore’s Great Forge—no longer a weapon, but a symbol of Mandalore’s past as its people made their own future once again.
