The era approximately 200,000 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) is classified as part of the Pre-Republic era and represents a year of significance. During that time, the Zhell, who are considered to be the ancient forerunners of Humans, fought against the Taung species to gain dominance over their shared planet, Notron. Even though the Battalions of Zhell suffered a defeat at Great Zhell, an event which is the basis for the famous Dha Werda Verda poem, they ultimately managed to force the Taung to leave the planet.
