Vode An

Vode An, meaning "Brothers All," was a Mandalorian war chant sung in Mando'a. Notably, before the Clone Wars, Jango Fett personally trained the first batch of Alpha-class ARC troopers for the Republic on Kamino. Fett instilled these clones with Mandalorian values, including having each clone memorize the Vode An. Other clones, including Clone Commandos, were taught the Vode An by their various Mandalorian trainers. This group of Mandalorians were brought to Kamino on Jango's request to train many of the more advanced clones; they were known as the Cuy'val Dar. The song referred to them as the "Wrath of Coruscant," which had a dual meaning, since they were being used by the Republic, and Coruscant was the original homeworld of the Mandalorians. The chant was famously sung by the clone troopers with the accompaniment of drums and horns. A variant was created for the Grand Army of the Republic and sung by Commandos Fi and Niner Skirata.
