The unified, hive-like sentience known as the Taurill Overmind represented the combined consciousness of the Taurill species. Its primary driving force was the ambition to disseminate the Taurill species across the vast expanse of the galaxy, a goal which led it to forge an alliance with Durga Besadii Tai in the year 12 ABY. This pact involved the Taurill contributing their expertise to the building of the Darksaber, in exchange for Durga's assistance in distributing them to various locations throughout the galaxy.
