Shysa and the Mandalorians continued to fight for the Alliance, even after their transition into the New Republic. Around 5 ABY, Shysa and the reborn Mandalorian Protectors played an important role in the Battle of Mindor, providing the decisive push to defeat Lord Shadowspawn, who fought to the last man.[1][8] Under Shysa, the Protectors continued to see conflict, but primarily as the defenders of Mandalore. Almost twenty years after Shysa forced the Empire from Mandalore, Shysa tracked to the planet Shogun[1] in the Quence sector.[23] and was confronted by Boba Fett, who was pursuing a bounty placed on Shysa's head by the Kaminoan Taun We—wanting revenge on Shysa for his role in attacking Kamino during the Clone Wars. Although the exact details are unclear, during this encounter Shysa perished on the planet. Shysa was able to save Fett's life,[1] but only at the cost of his own. Apparently surrounded by Sevvets and under heavy fire, Shysa was badly wounded, so much so that he would have been unable to escape. To save Shysa from what he called, "a rotten death", and at his own request, Fett mercy-killed the Mandalorian Protector.[23] With his dying words, Shysa requested that Fett take the title of Mand'alor and command the Mandalorian Protectors[23]—still believing a Fett to be Mandalore's best bet for a leader.[6]
