Hra'yasivr

Hra'yasivr (which meant "Great Shift" in Mando'a) was an event in Mandalorian history in which the Mandalorians' dominant species, the Taung, where swiftly outnumbered and eventually replaced by Humans. This transition occurred from 4100 BBY to 3900 BBY. In these two centuries, the Taung were driven to extinction as a result civil wars as well as a number of wars with the Galactic Republic.

By the time Canderous Ordo came into power as Mand'alor (king of the Mandalorian clans) in around 3960 BBY, the Taung species made up for less than 2% of the population of the Mandalore sector. By 9800 BBY, Taung were no longer sighted among Mandalorian populations and were presumed to have been extinct. Some Mandalorian clans celebrated this event for millennia onward and held humanocentric values, while others were more open to interspecies relations and allowed many unique species such as Wookiees, Togorians, and Rishi to integrate into their society. Many anti-human individuals often cite the Mandalorian Great Shift as one of Humanity's worst atrocities, as the Taung, Cathar, and other sentient species suffered dearly from Humanity's takeover of the Mandalorian civilization. Most Mandalorian Humans maintained the warlike and tribalistic demeanor of the Taung over the following millennia, though some such as the New Mandalorians (who thrived from c. 730 BBY until the early Imperial era) adopted more pacifistic ideals.
