The Taung took on the name Mandalorians and were seen by many as the most skilled fighters in the galaxy, thriving in battle. Led by the warlord known as Mandalore the First, they would conquer another planet in the Outer Rim in 6964 BrS, which they named Mandalore after their leader. Despite the volcano's devastating effect, the Taung were eventually driven off Coruscant and took refuge on the world of Roon. Intense fighting with the thirteen Human nations of Coruscant known as the Battalions of Zhell began millennia before the Republic, and when a powerful volcano nearly wiped out the humans and darkened the skies over Coruscant, the Taung came to call themselves the Dha Werda Verda-the "Warriors of the Shadow". The Mandalorians began as the humanoid Taung species from the planet Coruscant. In later years, the Mandalorians moved away from their obsessively war-like and conqueror ways and instead, most became bounty hunters and mercenaries, selling their skills to various individuals and factions in the galaxy. However, they would not hesitate to cooperate with the Jedi if a partnership between the two groups was mutually beneficial. Throughout their history, the Mandalorians were frequently allied with the Sith, perhaps most notably the Sith Lord Exar Kun, and held a certain distrust and general dislike for the Jedi Order.
The leader of the Mandalorians was known as the Mand'alor, translating to "Sole Ruler" and was rendered as "Mandalore" in Basic. In their early years, Mandalorian culture revolved around combat, with war being a source of honor and pride in their community. The Mandalorians-known in Mando'a as the Mando'ade, or "Children of Mandalore"-were a nomadic group of clan-based people consisting of members from multiple species and multiple genders, all bound by a common culture.
