Clan Varad were an violent Mandalorian clan for fought during Great Galactic War and Cold War. It's leader Mavrix Varad was often consider by Mandalore the Vindicated as "a rancor foaming at the mouth". Mavrix Varad forced his clan kinsmen to face harsh combat trials, and those who did not live up to his high standards were left for sparring or hunting practice for the clan's younger members. This lead Artus to ban members of this violent clan from the Mandalorian stronghold on Geonosis.
