The focus will be more Mandalorian focused - more combat, more cool weapons and armor and equipment. You'll be part of Lady Bo-Katan's resistance movement trying to take back Mandalore from the Empire and Imperial Remnants. You'll be going on missions to find or rescue other Mandalorians, acquire weapons and supplies, etc. You may fight against other Mandalorians, the Empire, the New Republic, mercenaries, gangs, pirates, etc.
I envision everyone starting at "knight" level (Mandalorian species and then +150 xp) with some pre-selected gear (basic weapons and armor). You'll not be "Children of the Watch" (the cult the "Mando" is part of in the show), you'll be normal Mandalorians. However, you may determine your own Clan and House customs and traditions (if its a new house/clan). For backstory, you'll need to know how you fit into all of the previous Mandalore history.
Also, I know **any species** can be Mandalorian by creed, but I've never seen a canon instance of any species other than human Mandalorian (in modern era, not counting the original native species of Mandalore), so everyone will be human Mandalorians.
This game will not cross over with the ongoing "Dark Times" (Jedi) campaign, since this takes place around 20 years after that campaign starts.
Things to ponder:
1) Was your clan exiled by or join the New Mandalorians? (32 BBY, about 37 years prior to game start)
2) Did your clan join Death Watch? (20 BBY, about 25 years prior to game start)
3) Did your clan join Bo-Katan in Siege of Mandalore against Death Watch, or did you fight alongside Death Watch against the Republic clone troopers & Bo-Katan? (19 BBY, about 24 years prior to start)
4) If you didn't join Bo-Katan and/or joined Death Watch, did your clan join with Empire under Gar Saxon? (18 BBY, about 23 years prior to start)?
5) Which side (if any) did you\your clan fight on during the "Second Civil War" (Clan Saxon vs Clan Wren and Bo-Katan)? (2 BBY, about 7 years ago)
6) How did you survive and where did you go after the Great Purge? (unknown, about 6 years ago)
7) How did you find the Mandalorian Resistance (led by Bo-Katan) (anytime within last few years)
