The Warriors of Shadow were an all-female cult that was an offshoot of the Taung civilization, also known as the Warriors of the Shadow. After the Taung species were driven off their homeworld of Notron (now known as Coruscant) by the Zhell, a number of female Taung formed a sisterhood and fled to the Unknown Regions to seek atonement through meditation and insight.[1] At one point during their history, the Warriors battled a rival cult, the Knell of Muspilli, above a moon in the Unknown Regions.[3] However, the Warriors of Shadow merged with the Knell and a third cult, the Kanzer Exiles, over the course of thousands of years on the twelve planets of the Nihil Retreat.[1]
