Taung

The Taung were a warfaring alien species that controlled the planet Coruscant thousands of years before the arrival of humans. One by one, they conquered the other species of the planet, including the native Zhell.

Physiology studies of the Taung pointed to a possibility that they were the ancestors of the early Mandalorians. Either way, the Mandalorians held the legacy of the Taung in high regard.
