Mandalore the Uniter

Mandalore the Uniter was a male Taung who founded and served as the warlord of the Taung Confederacy prior to and during the Cruentusian War. In the year 24,299 BBY, armies of maurauding Zhell, believing that the Taung had grown complacent since their abandonment of the nomadic lifestyle swept on to the central continent and besieged severl cities of the Taung. Mandalore the Uniter led his Taung Hunters in a desperate defensive and holding action. Following a period of several months, the Zhell were completely destroyed, and Mandalore the Uniter was proclaimed as the savior of the Taung people.

The Mandalore; however, was a shrewd military genius, and seeing the immense success of his Taung Hunters came to a decision. In a series of lightning fast moves, he consolidated his control over the entire planet of Dxun, conquering both the other Taung city states and the Zhell Tribes. As the leader of the entire Taung people, Mandalore decided that he should no longer bear the title of Elder, and created the position of Mandalore. Under Mandalore, the Taung Confederacy, as it was now known, invaded and swfitly conquered the remainder of the planets in the Japrael Sector.

Early Life
Mandalore the Uniter was born to a family of Taung warriors and farmers on the jungle moon, Dxun, a planet that the Taung had long since claimed as their own, and was named Vorduv Rommel. Mandalore's father was part of the Taung Resistance Front, a rebel organization devoted to freeing Dxun from the domination of the Infinite Empire.

Mandalore was a young boy when the Taung Rebellion broke out, pitting the Taung and the Zhell against the vicious Infinite Empire. At the age of ten, Mandalore had already begun to fight alongside older men in the resistance and fought in the battles of Daol Point and Nonaf. During the great Battle of Nadd Island, Mandalore killed several hundred Rakatans before they retreated leaving the Taung victorious.

Following this victory the Taung built the glorious city of Nadd, but sadly, the peace did not last long, and the new United Taung Clans, was plunged into the War of the Old Ways. The Old Ways Cultists assassinated the Supreme Elder, and besieged Nadd for several months before being driven away. Unfortunately, Mandalore's father was killed during the siege, and he vowed to get revenge on the cultists.

Signing up with the Taung Militias, Mandalore entered the civil war. The war went horrible for the United Taung Clans, as they were continually defeated, and many of Mandalore's friends were killed or captured. Following the disastorous Battle of Iki, Mandalore was captured while retreating. The civil war ended, and Mandalore was on the losing side.

For the remainder of his childhood he was trained and brought up by the Storm Clan's patriarch, Oman Storm, who taught him the ways of war. He continued to train until he became a high ranking member of the Nadd Militia.
