Hu Jibwe, a military history scholar, worked at the Salmagodro Grand Academy throughout the Imperial Era. Around 15 BBY, Hu had a conversation with Eschul Shaywa, a writer for Imperial Center Today, where they talked about the background and structure of the Mandalorian Dha Werda Verda chant. Shaywa later used a quote from Hu in their finished piece, "The Zhell and the Taungs Are Names to Conjure By, But the Truth About These Long-Lost Combatants Is Hard to Pin Down."
Hu Jibwe's initial appearance in Star Wars canon occurred in "Ancient Coruscant," the second part of Jason Fry's official Star Wars Blog series, The Essential Guide to Warfare: Author's Cut.
