"Visit Mandalore before Mandalore visits you. Take home some souvenirs—a slab of uj cake and a smack in the mouth."

―Baltan Carid

Taungs under the leadership of Mandalore the First settled the planet prior to 7,000 BBY. They drove the native mythosaurs to extinction, using their skeletons to construct cities of bone. The planet was named after the great leader. The Taungs thereafterwards called themselves Mandalorians. The Mandalorians traveled from Mandalore and conquered many worlds. After failing to conquer Onderon, they briefly settled on its moon Dxun.

The Mandalorians adopted other species into their ranks, and the last of the original Taung species eventually died out due to the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders all-out attempt to conquer the Republic during the Mandalorian Wars.

The planet eventually became part of the Republic (possibly c. 200 BBY), but was marginalized and grew destitute.

Other worlds with Mandalorian settlements

Althir was a remote, independent world that was located outside of the borders of the Galactic Republic. It had a system of rocky planetary rings which may imply that it was a gas giant. [edit] History

Althir was the site of two major battles fought by the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders during the Old Sith Wars. The first battle was fought in the early years of the Mandalorian Wars at some point between the years 3,976 and 3,963 BBY. The battle was a confrontation between the invading Mandalorian forces commanded by Canderous Ordo and Althiri defenders. The Mandalorians emerged victorious and they conquered the planet, but they were not destined to hold it very long.

The second battle was fought several years after the Mandalorians had invaded the Republic, circa 3,960 BBY. It was a confrontation between Republic forces under the command of the Jedi Revan and the Mandalorian army. Revan led the Republic to victory and his forces eradicated the Mandalorian regime on Althir.
