Manderon Period

Manderon Period was an era of the Old Republic which lasted from 7,000 BBY to 5,000 BBY, and reached its height some 6,000 years before the Galactic Civil War. It was marked by a "trio" of discoveries which changed the fate of the Galaxy.

The Exiles discovered the Sith Empire. The Corellian Trade Spine was completed by 5,500 BBY. Simultaneously the Herglics and Givin form the Rimma Trade Route out of preexisting praediums.

History
The Hundred-Year Darkness is fought during the first century of this period.

According to legend, the Mandalorian Crusaders were formed around the beginning of this period on the planet Mandalore by the Taung, Mandalore the First.

Mrlsst and Dorin join the Republic during this period.

Jatz musical style is believed to have been popular during the Manderon Period. Also, artisan Andel Tanner lived during this period.
