Several Mandalorian warrior clans engaged the Ithullan species in a war over a narcolethe distillery in the year 200 BBY. After claiming victory over their foes, the Mandalorians proceeded to initiate the near extinction of the Ithullan race in what a number of galactic scholars viewed as the most heinous crime of its era. In retaliation, a group of rogue Jedi Knights allied^[2] with the Gen'Dai bounty hunter Durge,^[3] against the orders of the Jedi Council, and assassinated the ruling Mand'alor, leader of the Mandalorian clans,^[2] nearly a hundred years later.^[3]

The genocide of the Ithullan species^[2] led to a large number of Mandalorian soldiers growing dissatisfied with their out-of-control, immoral contemporaries. This desire for change was taken to heart by Jaster Mereel, who instituted a new standard of behavior for the Mandalorian warrior clans when he rose to the position of Mand'alor^[4] in 60 BBY, the Supercommando Codex,^[2] which stated that any Mandalorian who wished to fight were to conduct themselves as honorable mercenaries.^[5]
