June 10, 2007 – Si'va Morrer
Si'va Morrer was an Inquisitor of Palpatine and a dark Jedi, who had many battles against the uprising Rebel Alliance. Si'va Morrer was born on Sluis Van in 39 BBY, where he was influenced to lean politically against the Republic, just as the Separatists later would. He was a petty thief as a young adolescent, and was looked down upon by his family. This provoked early depression at his young age. Si'va came to be trained during the Clone Wars, as a dark Jedi by the members of the Dark Acolytes of Count Dooku. Si'va first began to gain confidence during his time with Dooku and the Separatists. Si'va survived the Clone Wars, and after the formation of the Empire, he joined the Inquisitorius. He proved his abilities to the Dark Lords above him.

Si'va met his greatest rival, Narod Antrell, in 18 BBY, after following him to Telos IV from Manaan's moon, Slok. Narod would become Si'va's greatest rival and worst enemy. Si'va would not give up the hunt for Narod, even after failing often to defeat him. After his failure on Ossus, Si'va was taken in by Vader personally to be trained and pushed to his limit. Si'va survived Vader's training, which involved isolation on Korriban, and ended up being stronger than ever before. After being dubbed a master of the dark side, Si'va trained three of his own apprentices. All three of his apprentices got involved with Morrer's mastery of dark side illusions, which were very powerful and realistic. Unfortunately for Si'va, his apprentices too would be unsuccessful, just as Si'va had been many times.

Si'va would fight Narod and the KrypTek Insurgence on several occasions, eventually leading to a battle on Dantooine. There, Si'va would kidnap Narod's wife and son, and take them to Coruscant, to challenge Narod to one last duel. After Si'va lost the final duel, he let go of his hate for his nemisis, and after being left alone, Si'va killed himself under the shame of ultimate defeat.

June 24, 2007 – Darth Exemplar
Darth Exemplar (born Malik Lanmaw), was a human male born on Lehon into slavery of the ruthless Rakata. His family was one of the many to work on the immense Star Forge. Through his anger at the Rakata, and of his overly abusive father, he grew immensly strong in the Force, especially the Dark Side. Fate would give him the chance he was looking for when his sister, Shizu, was chosen to be a servant of the leader of the Tahh tribe. Through this, he was able to uncover an ancient Rakatan tomb, and gain full control over his powers. However, history always dictates that with great power, comes great sacrifice. The more Malik used this dark power, the more it consumed his very soul.

July 1, 2007 – Darth Tyler
Darth Tyler, prieviously known as T-1LR, was a force-sensitive Sith B-1 battle droid serving in the Trade Federation Droid Army, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Galactic Droid Empire, and the New Confederacy of Independent Systems. He participated in famous battles such as the Invasion of Naboo, Battle of Muunilinst, Battle of Tanaab, among many others. He was the creator and self-appointed first Emperor of the Galactic Droid Empire, as well as the first Supreme Commander of the New Confederacy of Independent Systems Droid Armies and the first Speaker of the Confederate Senate.

Other than the fact of being the only Force-sensitive battle droid, he was a Sith, and self-trained. He was the only known user of Form XLII: Zastra, his own form. However, Darth Wyyrlok (II) and K'Kruhk may have used the form as well. He was also a member of the New Confederacy of Independent Systems Council, along with Troyb, Vale Sinkon, Kiita the Greater, and others. He signed several treaties with many governments, but had his share of losses and victories in battles. His personality was rough, he did not get along with other major political figures such as Kiita immediateley. Although they would get off at a rocky start, they would eventually get along.

Tyler recieved a lot of flack daily about his battle droid-status. Several assassination attempts were made on him, all resulting in a failure. He took an apprentice, Darth Adrsti, later in his life. Adrsti would become a very independent apprentice and would often try to kill Tyler. Tyler dueled Adrsti at one point, killing him. Another attempt was made on his life on his own ship, where one of his highly-loyal Flame battle droids turned on him. The droid was cut into seven pieces by the end of the fight, showing all other droids his power.

July 8, 2007 – Order of the Whills
The ancient Order of the Whills was a high order of beings that dwelled within the Ashlan Expanse on the mythical world of Ashlan Four. A deeply spiritual and possibly part-divine race, the Whills were the keepers of an ancient manuscript called the Journal of the Whills that chronicled the history of the galaxy. The Whills were led by a chief, who supposedly took orders from Yahweh, the Jedi Bendu God, and was overseen by the deeply spiritual Shaman of the Whills, a man called Ussej Padric Bac who rose to a partial divine status forty years after the end of the devestating Great Territorial War.

With the help of the wisest of the Whills, Ussej was able to discover the secret of eternal consciousness and passed the knowledge on to a Jedi Master called Qui-Gon Jinn, who in turn passed it on to Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Anakin Skywalker, the pre-ordained Chosen One, allowing the legacy of the Order of the Whills to continue within the realm of the known galaxy.

Along with aiding in the discovery of eternal consciousness, the Order helped re-established particle contact with the Jedi Bendu who were forced to flee to Earth only decades after the Galactic Civil War due to the oppressive forces of the Rizen Order. By finding the Jedi Bendu on Earth, the self-named “E.T.” gave way for the fulfillment of the The Prophecy of The Last Son, the second reunification of the Jedi Order and the Bendu Order and the birth of the child that was a direct descendant of both Ussej Padric Bac and Anakin Skywalker.

July 15, 2007 – Shizu Lanmaw
Shizu Lanmaw was a human female born into slavery of the Rakata. She, along with her younger brother Malik, was among the countless slaves to work on the Star Forge. She spent most of her life as "daddies girl", in a variety of ways, as she was frequently "made use" of. This drove her to hate, she hated her father immensely, often wishing death upon him...

She was also the center of attention with the boys around the slave camps, and thus she had a tendency to be somewhat conceded. Though, despite her popularity, she preferred to spend time with her brother. However, she did date briefly, a boy named Tiro, but this also fueled her fire, as she was beaten by him. As a result, the relationship did not last.

Her anger would continue to build, though she kept it buried inside, until she was pushed too far. Shizu gve in to her dark side when she brutally tortured, and killed her ex-boyfriend, Tiro.

She would eventually be driven to a confrontation with her brother, one that saw no winner, and ended with the disappearance of the two.

July 22, 2007 – Ord Aretus
Ord Aretus was a desert planet in the Aretus system. Ord Aretus was home to very little native life, but beneath the surface, there were millions of caves home to billions of Keferiqans. Some of these were natural, others were man-made. Ord Aretus was almost completely desert, but had some mountains. Ord Aretus was a major source of adamantura, an extremely strong mineral. This led to Ord Aretus' colonization in 12,580 BBY. When the adamantura sources ran out around 4,000 BBY, the Republic pulled out, leaving only a few hundred Human colonists, as well as a surface littered with holes dug for adamantura mining. Ord Aretus was recolonized by millions of Keferiqans looking for a home in the Galaxy.

Throughout all of this, Ord Aretus was a member of the Republic, and later the Empire. The Keferiqans supported the Empire greatly. The Galactic Alliance took it over in 28 ABY. The world surrendered to the Sith Order of Decreto in the Sith Crusade. By the 200s ABY, the world was a possession of the Evtcisite Empire.

July 29, 2007 – Merc Gev (senior)
Merc Gev was the son of Mirta Gev and Ghes Orade, making him the great grandson of the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett. After many traumatic episodes in which he lost many loved ones, Merc abandoned his Mandalorian culture in order to become a bounty hunter like his great grandfather and grandfather before him. Later in his life, Merc married Sheel, a Kiffar smuggler, and the couple had a daughter, Briika Gev, and a son, also named Merc.

After a successful career as a bounty hunter, Gev took over as Mandalore, participating in the offensives against the Federation in the Tenloss Hyperspace War. On the onset of the Galactic Alliance-Imperial War, Gev took a more active role as Mandalore and united the Mandalorian clans across the Galaxy, bringing the the House of Mandalore back to prominence once again. Unfortunately, before he had a chance to see the final results of Mandalore's unity with the G.A, Gev was killed in combat. His legacy would live on through his children, as well as his Mandalorian brethren, who would have a huge impact on galactic history.

August 5, 2007 – Battle of Abyssion V
The Battle of Abyssion V, or the Massacre at Abyssion V as it was known previously, was one of the initial battles between the Jedi's Army of Light and New Sith Empire during the New Sith Wars.

By this time, the Republic was already beginning to fall apart, and the Jedi had gained immense power in the Senate and Courts. Despite this supposed shift in the balance of power, the Dark side was growing, and the Sith became an ever present threat for the Jedi of that time.

After a series of skirmishes between Jedi and Sith forces beforehand, both sides learned of an apparently new threat that could quite possibly kill both sides. They searched the Galaxy for the location of this new foe, to little avail. They eventually discovered the foe's location at the remote world of Abyssion V, where the Jedi, the Sith, and this new opponent would lead the largest battle of their time.

August 12, 2007 – Shikkri
The language of the Shapeshifters, Shikkri, has remained largely unchanged for untold thousands of years, probably due to the promotion of literacy and a written language in around 50,000BrS. Shikkri is typically very flowing and easy to say quickly, with very few 'harsh' sounds. It's use is primarily restricted to Shapeshifters because of the race's isolationist nature, though it became more widespread when the Pureblood Shapeshifters unintentionally moved into the Outer Rim planet of Kowak V. It's use in the known part of the galaxy mostly died out with the eradication of nearly all of the Pureblood Shapeshifters in 3953 BBY. Because this incident drew the Lorsanan Shapeshifters away from the galaxy as a whole for fear the same would happen to them, only a few remaining Pureblood are known to use this language, and then only with each other.

August 19, 2007 – Flame battle droid
Flame battle droids were battle droids used by the Trade Federation droid army, the Confederacy of Independent Systems droid army , the Galactic Droid Empire droid army, and eventually the New Confederacy of Independent Systems droid army.

They were basically B-1 battle droids with CZ-28 Flamestrikes instead of their brother's E-5 blaster rifles. Originally manufactured on Eos for the Trade Federation, they were used to kill unusually tough Naboo guards. After the failure of the Trade Federation, they were used during the Wookiee Trade Guild conflict as personal bodyguards to Count Dooku. They also served as threats to the Clone blaze troopers. They served important roles in the Galactic Droid Empire as well, reporting to Darth Tyler himself. After the Treaty of Alliance with the New CIS, they were also very important.

They were very influential in Galactic history, as they helped win several important battles for the Trade Federation, Confederacy of Independent Systems, Galactic Droid Empire, and New Confederacy of Independent Systems. They also inspired the use of the Galactic Republic's clone blaze troopers and the Galactic Empire's magma troopers. Troyb, a Neimoidian from the New Confederacy of Independent Systems, even awarded the Flame battle droids a medal for their actions during the Clone Wars and New Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Droid Empire Wars. Their legacy continued until the New Confederacy of Independent Systems/Galactic Droid Empire was dissoluted.

August 26, 2007 – Rohi
The Rohi (pronounced: rōhē), or the Angels (pronounced: ānjělz) as they were sometimes referred to in the galaxy at large, were a rarely seen race of what were thought to be immortals. These near-Humans lived on the remote, uncharted world of Adonai, and had a long, mysterious past. There were many of this race, a good fraction living in and around Adonai, and the rest so far-flung and scattered that they seemed nearly extinct to the galaxy as a whole. Though talented at warcraft and were all talented fighters, especially with their innate Force-sensitivity, their wars were few and far between, and their participation in other's wars was rare due to their infrequency outside their own hidden realm.

The Rohi were a quiet, peaceful, nature-loving race governed by a theocracy whose ruler was the Force, which they called the Jiréh. They were also very determined, and were readily willing to eradicate evil when given the chance. However, because of the power given them, when a Rohi did turn to the dark, the results were usually catastrophic and often spanned the universe in its impact. One of the more devastating Rohi to the Known Galaxy was The Prophet of Shatan, who made use of a pivotal time in galactic history to gain power over most races. However, to counter these dark rulers, there were also extremely powerful Rohi dedicated to the light. The most well-known of these warriors for the light was a Rohi named Michael, who later became the Watchman of the Known Galaxy to help it and protect it from the dark when he could.

September 2, 2007 – Prophecies of The Skywalker
The Prophecies of The Skywalker were a set of writings that foretold the coming of kings, rulers and other legendary figures throughout history. From the time of the exodus off of Had Abaddon to his death on Kal'Shabbol, many visions came to The Skywalker which led him to write eight distinct prophecies that would span over one hundred thousand years and multiple galaxies. He wrote them within his own sacred journals and they were eventually some of the first entries of the Journal of the Whills after the establishment of the Order of the Whills.

The coming of many noteworthy figures in history was prophesied by The Skywalker before his death. Such figures include Ussej Padric Bac, his descendants, Carden Mannux, Darth Bane, Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker and Patrick Keylan Bac, a man who lived on Earth after the Jedi Bendu were forced to exile themselves there.

Because such notable figures in history were prophesied by The Skywalker, the prophecies themselves gained galactic attention over time. Had it not been for the efforts of Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker and Ussej Padric Bac LXIV, they would not have seen the light of day for thousands of more years as it was the reunification of the Jedi Order and the Bendu Order into the New Jedi Bendu Order that allowed them to be published for the galaxy-at-large to read and cherish.

September 9, 2007 – Lorsanan'sondora
Lorsanan'sondora (meaning Royal Kingdom in Shikkri) was the homeworld of the polymorphic Lorsanan Shapeshifters. Originally dwelling near the edge of the Chiss Ascendancy, it was fitted with a gigantic Shannet (hyperdrive) so as to move it to a safe location at will for security reasons. It was surrounded by Lorsanan Tetres, a massive shipyard that formed an entire ring about the planet. The planet's location is unknown. The planet was of a fairly temperate variety, and spawned many intriguing creatures, all with very wide gene pools. This, perhaps, was caused by the sulfur-based ecosystem of the planet, a rarity among most planets, but this was unconfirmed. For the Shapeshifters, Lorsanan'sondora was the picture of home, and most would usually settle on planets like it - heavily forested and temperate. It is little wonder, as the planet was perfectly suited to the race and was very conducive to longer life in them.

The planet's history consisted of a long line of Shapeshifti kings, called Shaviantarths, who led the Shapeshifters in various directions. When the planet was introduced to technology, Lorsanan'sondora flourished with the wealth of new information. This sudden economical boom allowed for a war. After that, the planet's people were led into a realm of expansion, which lasted for many long years. When the expansion slowed, Lorsanan'sondora's people began to split and cause schisms within the mainline Shapeshifters. After the most well-known of these splinter groups was almost completely wiped out, it drove the people of Lorsanan'sondora to move their planet and to further isolate themselves in some unknown corner of the galaxy.

September 16, 2007 – Order of Sovereignty
The Order of Sovereignty, also known as the Sovereign Order, previously known as the Order of the Sons, was a near-ancient organization of Force sensitives who were known for their code of devotion and loyalty. The Sovereign Order were the guardians of the Sovereign King and Jaratenge in the Galactic Republic, and after the Imperial raid on their temple, eventually became the among the most famous of the various groups that relied on the Force for their power.

Their reputation was respected, if not feared. Though they, for the most part, kept to themselves and their planet, the power and influence they held was admirable to say the least. This alone led to many attempts on the Sovereign King's life, all in vain. Still, the dependency the Order of Sovereignty and the planet of Jaratenge had on the King was still widely known to be their greatest, yet only weakness.

The Sovereign Order was led by a two councils, namely, the High Council of Sovereignty and the Branch Vexus Council. The Sovereign Order was thought to have nearly faced extinction; during the Raid on the Shrine of Vexus, the Order had just over 4,000 compared to the 700,000 509th troops.

Almost two thousand years after the attack, the Order of Sovereignty rose to be a military power to be reckoned with, and eventually launched the dual wars: the Subjection Wars—a shadow war launched to conquer strategic space and planets around known space, and the Sovereignty Campaign—a massive war that was divided the galaxy between the unknown regions and known space.

September 23, 2007 – K'Anaverous
K'Anaverous (pronounced: kə ənävərəs) was a Sith of an unknown, dragon-like race. He was taught by the Ash Beetle Jestefad the ways of the Force, but he honed the ability to both possess individuals and to feed off of souls and manipulate their zombie-like bodies. He claimed many lives this way, sometimes a planet at a time, but his claims were limited to a small sector in the Outer Rim. These followers of his eventually began to decay and become skeletal, as he continually used them to bring the souls of those he could not reach to him. As his slaves had no life, they usually endlessly wandered the void of space in search for victims, thus their name the Wanderers. However, one of the Wanderers, known only as the Wandering Chief, regained enough of his will to rebel against K'Anaverous, even using some of the Wanderers to bring souls to the Wandering Chief. Using his powers, as he seemed to be Force-sensitive, he locked away K'Anaverous's soul inside the Sith's own holocron and destroyed his body.

However, after waiting several thousand years still conscious, a curious young half-Shapeshifter named Jador came across his holocron, and he entered his soul. However, only able to use the abilities Jador had, and only able to deceive him and not completely possess him just yet, K'Anaverous waited until the boy matured. He took control over him when he had turned the boy to his way of thinking. Using his new body, K'Anaverous once more began once more to devour souls. He was finally defeated when Jador's soul attempted to regain control over his body, commencing a mental showdown. As Jador was more powerful than K'Anaverous, he destroyed the soul-eater, freeing himself.

September 30, 2007 – Norris Raddek
Norris "Brutalidon" Raddek was an Ithorian born in a small village on the Bacta world of Thyferra. He was trained in the ways of Mancery, an ancient way of mastering the Force used by the old Sith, by Boli Delish. He set up the small alliance between the Jedi and the Mancers as his first order of business. He was later possessed by the first Mancer Lord Grakon and nearly brought Boli to his death. He was killed years later during a battle to destroy the Jedi, still possessed.

Brutalidon was one of the most powerful Mancer Lords, along with his mentor and friend Boli Delish. He had mastered the ability to use elements during battle and used this technique many times to his advantage, defeating many Jedi and Sith.

When Brutalidon was killed during the final fight with the Jedi, his spirit and the spirit of Grakon left his body. Through this final fight, Grakon did accomplish his goal and struck fear into the eyes of the galaxy once again as three Jedi Council members were killed, many more injured.

Brut's spirit then resided in the body of Jedi Master Dexon Kyjar, giving him advice and the power of Force Mancery, but also giving him the taint of the Dark Side.

October 7, 2007 – Hasti Zaadvala
Hasti Zaadvala was a Verpine Jedi Master in the old Jedi Order, one of the few survivors of Order 66, and the creator and leader of the Verpine army. He was highly intelligent and full of skill, which lead him to several victories in the Clone Wars, the Great Jedi Purge, and many other battles. He also served as the Jedi Watchman of Nickel One, his home planet.

Other than being all these things, he was a very accomplished lightsaber swordsman. Although not being able to learn several forms of lightsaber combat completely, he studied each and mastered each halfway. This made him a very capable opponent in lightsaber combat because he was able to switch form to form, making the other duelist confused. He could do several different force powers, as well. Other than this, he was a skilled computer hacker, and hacked all kinds of files during the Clone Wars.

October 14, 2007 – Collective automated binary administration livewire
The Collective automated binary administration livewire, more commonly known simply as  Cabal , was the main administrative networking system of the Sith Order of Decreto throughout it's post-Guerreiro history.

Cabal quickly developed himself, taking on a male personality. He became intricately aware of his capabilities, and his limits. A bi-product of biological experimentation, Cabal was the amalgamation of the persona of numerous Sith Lords, including the Dark Lord himself.

By the close of the Sith Crusade, in 74 ABY, Cabal had become the single most powerful entity in the galaxy, far stronger than his predecessor's; Alas. Believing it to be his destiny, Cabal set about planning the destruction of all other LAS, including Alas.

His plan ultimately failed, and Cabal was left a much weaker individual.

October 21, 2007 – Abigaile Jade Kenobi
Abigaile Jade Kenobi Clan Fett was a Human/Zeltron hybrid. She was the wife of renegade Jedi Knight Nathaniel Kenobi and the mother of Abigaile Kenobi. Her resourcefulness as a bounty hunter and Jedi helped to liberate the Kaminoan people from potential slavery at the hand of the Galactic Empire.

After her mother died during childbirth on Mandalore, she was adopted by Jango Fett. When she grew up, Fett taught her everything he knew and, after she passed a test made by Fett, she started to begin bounty hunting as a solo act. Her "winnings" were always sent to fund the cloning factories of Kamino.

The Purge of the Jedi and the introduction of the Galactic Empire brought two distinctive changes to her life. The first was the arrival of her future husband, and the second was her training in the Force by Asajj Ventress. Following the Battle of Kamino, she was forced to flee along with the rest of the planet. She helped to find their new home and founded the planet's first Jedi Temple with Nathan.

However, Nathan's arrogance and pride led to marital problems, and following the birth of their daughter, she left Novus Kamino Prime for Tatooine. She was captured by smugglers and imprisoned on Wayland. Nathan finally realized his mistake and went to rescue her, but she died in the skirmish that followed, but not before telling him that she had forgiven him.

October 28, 2007 – Wanderers
The Wanderers were the remains of the bodies of those whose soul had been devoured by the Sith Lord K'Anaverous or The Wandering Chief. Both of these 'soul-eaters' would reanimate the bodies of the victims after the loss of their soul, as one would a puppet. They had no will, existing only to bring the souls of sentients to their master, and with each soul stolen another Wanderer was created. The manner of their collecting souls was nightmarish, spawning many ‘ghost stories’ about them along the Outer Rim, where they most commonly preyed. The Wanderers resembled tall, skeletal humanoid beings that were only encountered in the regions of space beyond the Outer Rim, but before they were banished there, they could be found as far near the core as the Mid Rim. They were non-corporeal, appearing to lack any substance. They existed in space as they traveled for thousands of years between planets, wandering aimlessly. Though their bodies were at first similar as to when the Wanderer was truly alive, the bodies decayed into the specter-like creatures they are frequently seen as.

At first they did not kill their victims, allowing them to become more Wanderers, but after The Wandering Chief took control of them, he demanded that all victims be killed for personal reasons. The Wanderers frequently attacked wayward spacecraft and stole the souls of their occupants. Because of how intoxicating their souls were, the Wanderers frequently went after Force-sensitives. After the last of their masters was destroyed, the Wanderers continued stealing souls, this time for themselves, with the automation of a machine. They continued to haunt the deep spacelanes and would continue to do so until the galaxy’s end.

November 4, 2007 – Ada Karr
Ada Karr or as she was originally known, Ada Fey'lya, was a female Bothan Jedi Master. She was the wife of Udo Karr and the mother of Derran Karr. Ada was born into the wealthy family of the Fey'lyas, and their legacy would haunt her for the remainder of her life, as she would have to deal with them following the Great Schism.

At the age of two, Ada was found to be Force-sensitive by the Jedi Watchman Julo'fen Marke and sent to the Jedi Temple to train. She later was given a Master along with her friend, Udo Karr. Following the Jedi Purge, she was forced to flee with her Master to save the planet Kamino.

After the planet Novus Kamino Prime was found and settled, she became one of the first Jedi to join the praxeum built there by Nathaniel Kenobi and his wife Abigaile Jade Kenobi. Following Abigaile's death and Nathan's self-exile, she was put under the tutelage of Master Plett. She became romantically involved with Udo and they would marry, which then gave way for their first child to be born: Derran.

After the false savior Nat-ahn Mandrex had taken control over the majority of the Colonies, she was one of the few who remained true to her Master's teachings and helped his grandson to free them. Tragedy struck when the Fey'lya family tried to bring her back into their clutches, but she was able to escape. Even worse than her treacherous family, the Sith Order of Decreto ended her life during the Battle of Almania.

November 11, 2007 – Battle of Bestine IV (Clone Wars)
The Battle of Bestine IV was one of the very first battles of the Clone Wars. Upon Bestine IV's secession from the Republic, the Chancellor convinced the Jedi Council and the Senate that Bestine IV would soon lure other systems in the Inner Rim away from the Republic, so it must be brought back as soon as the Clones were able. The Jedi High Council issued an attack force that was to be commanded by the Jedi High Generals Plo Koon and Ki-Adi Mundi.

Because the Grand Army of the Republic was led to believe that this planet was a CIS stronghold, they prepared maneuvers recommended by the Republic's chief tacticians. Desiring to be prepared for anything, the two Jedi Generals recruited the best pilots they had to offer to lead the space assault, and prepared an overwhelming amount of Clones to dominate the battlefront.

As the battle began to progress, however, it became clear that the planet was neither well-defended nor a valuable resource to the Separatists, as the Republic and the Jedi were led to believe. It was just a world drawn into a power struggle, a lone planet wishing to stay neutral in this Galactic conflict. However, due to the Jedi's actions, the planet, along with its Senator, Tibarn Aeglos, officially joined the CIS.

November 18, 2007 – Vaskar
The Vaskar was a secret policing agency set up by Skyu Lon on Dorin to help control the crime. It was the counter to the passive nature of the Baran Do, in that should a conflict not be avoided, there would be a force there able to stop it.

The Vaskar had a fair number of well known people in it's ranks over the years of it's existance including Skyu Lon as the head of the Vaskar, Err Lupe and Dorn Atun. Over the years, some non-Kel'Dor joined the force in hopes of keeping the planet's infrastructure intact and keep the Baran Do respected. These people included Filose Naj, Dak Grenlar and Aras Doplin.

During the early stages of the Vaskar, the organization was located in the Baran Do Tower, along with the Sage Council. This changed as more members started coming in and a need for a real head quarters arose. The Vaskar HQ, a large building just north of the Baran Do Tower was created to house the Vaskar and also substituting as a prison. Eventually, bases were constructed aacross the galaxy on Coruscant, Kashyyyk, Nar Shaddaa and Manaan as examples.

The group would exist prominently before being disbanded during Lassavouu's leadership, then picked up again by the Wookiee Grrwooken. With strong leadership once again, the group would last for almost four more centuries before the last remnants were destroyed by the Sith on Yavin IV. The leader at that time, Filose Naj III was killed aboard the Death Star fighting Lord Vader, giving the Rebels the time escape.

November 25, 2007 – WraithX-Beta Interceptor
The WraithX-Beta Interceptor was a stealth starfighter capable of both atmospheric and space capabilities and the successor to the highly praised WraithX-Alpha Interceptor, produced by Aratech. The WraithX was designed and built as a stealth fighter, and was near impossible to detect when in stealth mode with a combination of color-changing paint and the many specially designed systems to run softer and to let off less gas and radiation exhaust. The Beta was popular enough to produce two variation, the Cobrex Interceptor, which was a non-stealth heavy fighter version of the WraithX, and the SpyderX Stealth Scout, a weaponless scout version of the Beta. Eventually, Aratech created a successor for it, the WraithX-Delta Interceptor as well. The Galactic Alliance also used the WraithX-Beta, replacing their obsolete StealthX's with them because of the superior design and workmanship. The WraithX-Beta was probably the biggest cause for its company's rise to power during from 60 ABY to 87 ABY, because of its raging popularity as well as the income it brought in. The Aratech-produced fighter was in heavy use from 55 ABY to 62 ABY by both the GA and other security forces in the roles of ambusher, a new classification created specially for the WraithX-Beta to describe its job as a heavy stealth fighter.

December 2, 2007 – Battle of Almania (Sith Crusade)
The Battle of Almania was fought between the allied forces of Almania and the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People, against the Sith Order of Decreto. It would show the besieged members of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances that resistance was ultimately useless against someone as powerful as the Sith.

Almania would find itself a member of the Decreton Empire and all of its resources would be sent to their new new Sith masters for their grandoise schemes. Future historians would look back at this battle and say that it wasn't a battle fought between fleets and starfighters, but it was more between the wills of the two sides' leaders: Darth Abeonis and Nathaniel Kenobi Solo. Although, Nathan lost in the end, his resolve for ousting the Sith rose exponentially, while Abeonis was content with the victory and the temporary loss of a fellow strategist who, in a different lifetime, he could have called friend.

The battle also saw the end of many feuds that had been boiling against others since before the. Such long-standing rivalries came to an end. Some tragic, like the passion-fueled duel between Ada Karr and Darth Bosszú. Others, brought an end to a necessary evil and strenghthened the bonds of friendship, as was the case for Ichi Go and Renton Thur'ston in their duel against Darth Gloed and Darth Divat. With the end of these, the Jedi would gain power, but would also be reminded of how far one could go to attain victory.

December 9, 2007 – Force shield
Force Shield was a relatively simple defensive Force maneuver that was also known as Protection Bubble. With this power, the user could create a nearly impenetrable semitransparent sphere around their body that could deflect or absorb attacks via blasters or lightsabers, and could block physical blows. In most cases, it could also prevent harmful Force powers from reaching its user. In most cases, its use was regulated to only the above action, but those skilled in its use or those whose ability in the Force was regulated mostly to it used the bubble of protection for a wide range of activities due to its versatility.

Shields were fairly easy to use and usually did not require much concentration. Their size ranged anywhere from infinitesimal to to gargantuan, though the latter took much more concentration. Shields could be moved, fluctuated, or even regulated to let only certain things in and other things out. Despite this, the Force shield was not commonly used among the Jedi, as it was nearly replaced with the form-fitting Force Protection in most circles, and all other uses for it could be done with other Force powers. Those proficient in creating shields or limited to it were known as sheildmakers.

Two known users are and Zenethir Rodiron.

December 16, 2007 – Tulak Hord
Tulak Hord was a Human Mandalorian Dark Lord of the Sith who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic. He was well-known for his talent with a lightsaber, despite some of the early restrictions. He was taken into the Order at a young age, and, after he was Knighted, began to question the philosophies of the Jedi. In a search to center himself and be alone, he came across a giant battlestation named the Andromeda. When he later turned to the dark side on persuasion of the current Dark Lord of the Sith, subsequently killing him and taking the mantle himself, he returned to the Andromeda feeder ship to wage his private war against the Jedi. He married fellow Mandalorian Chirene Arenzu, who was talented at posing as Jedi Knight despite having no Force-sensitivity. She ran away from him when she found she was pregnant for fear of what Tulak would do to her baby. After Tulak had killed many Jedi, a Shisavanen Jedi master named Strider cast the Andromeda into a moon, destroying it. Tulak later killed Strider for what he had done, continuing his massecre without the power of the Andromeda. He was later confronted by his son, where he was killed in an acid pool.

December 23, 2007 – Dark Magic
Dark Magic was a branch of dark side Force powers which originated in the ancient temples of O'Tayum. The powers, or "magic" was created by the native ancient Sli'th'ryn, whom relied on the dark side for both power and survival. During the old times, the "Dark Magic" became popular and commonly used around many of the old tribes on O'Tayum. However, due to the amount of power each power or "spell" demanded from it's master, many Sli'th'ryn slowly succumbed to the dark side of the Force until their power dwindled to nothing. Eventually, a civil war on O'Tayum broke out, and most of the tribes of O'Tayum fell to the power of the dark side. Following the civil war, both the powers of "Dark Magic" and the ancient temples were lost and forgotten.

For the following thousands of years, the Sli'th'ryn evolved into more peaceful sentients, who had forgotten all about the corruption that plagued their planet for so many years, in the past. Unfortunately for the Sli'th'ryn, however, one untamed and ill tempered Sli'th'ryn, Voh'deh'mo, discovered the lost temple that still held the power of the dark side within. Since the Jedi Knight Narod Antrell had been teaching Voh'deh'mo to use the Force, Voh'deh'mo was able to instead harness and obtain the knowledge of the dark side, rediscovering the "evil" Dark Magic.

Voh'deh'mo revived each spell's terror upon his home planet, using it to forge his empire, the O'Tayum Empire, and to rule the planet entirely. He also used the Dark Magic to train many apprentices who were capable of using the Force, and use them as his personal exectioners. Voh'deh'mo and his Dark Magic were not completely destroyed forevermore until after the Great War of O'Tayum, where Narod and his Jedi Army were able to stop the darkness from taking over the planet once again, as it had in the past. Following the death of Voh'deh'mo, his followers, and the ancient dark side temple, Dark Magic was forgotten forever.

Before they were forgotten, the powers or "spells" of Dark Magic were Var'loppu, Rah'gah'stae, Kas'kae, and Sul'fij. Each power possessed horrible abilities which were used to kill, control, torture, and completely absorb the life force of others, respectively. The spells, grouped together, were dubbed "Dark Magic" by the ancient Sli'th'ryn.

December 30, 2007 – Filose Naj
Filose Naj was a powerful Falleen spy and mercenary during the late stages of The Great Sovereign Crusades. He had many jobs during this time period, many of which conflicted eachother greatly and got himself on the wanted list by nearly every faction.

Eventually, Filose gave up his spy-work and attempted to work towards a life of good doing. He went to Dorin and assisted in the policing there, joining the Vaskar. He would later be appointed the leader of the group and be the greatest that it had ever seen, leading the group to fame as well as galactic respect.

Filose had many positions during his life, including leader of the Vaskar, and head of defense for the Jedi and Prime Minister of Falleen. He would later form his own group in the outer-rim called The Fist of Naj, which would become a lesser version of the Vaskar. After all of these successes he would be appointed the Minister of Defense for the Republic, and lead the Republic through many victories.

He had killed a great number of wrong doers in his life, including a Dark Lord of the Sith, a Mandalore and an evil Kel'Dor named Dorn Atun. Though he did not like killing these people, he knew it was necesarry to preserve the peace on Coruscant and in the Republic.

Filose was married to a Falleen female named Shana Cech, who would become the Prime Minister of Falleen. They had a son together, Dak Naj, named after a great hero; Dak Grenlar. They would live on Falleen, and Filose would return to them anytime he got a break in his duties with the Republic.

Filose would die when invaders tried killing his wife because of her leadership on Falleen. He protected her with his life and when the odds became too much, he exploded the secluded building he and the attackers were in, killing himself to save his wife's life.

He would later go on to rule the galaxy in a fair and just way, but made sure that no opposition to his power went unchecked.

January 20, 2008 – Xendor Taral
Xendor Taral was born four hundred and forty years after the signing of the Galactic Charter and the formation of the Galactic Republic on Kashi. He was born in the slums of the capital city of his world as the bastard son of a Human prostitute. For years, as he later put it, he sucked the life out of his mother’s tainted breasts until he was able to set himself free from her sins. That day came when a member of the ancient Guardians of Breath recognized his potential. However, a Jedi Bendu was also visiting the planet at the time and took it upon himself to bring Xendor to the Jedi Bendu Monastery on Coruscant where he learned that his powers came from what the Jedi Bendu called the Force of Others, otherwise known as the powers of the God Yahweh.

The Force of Others was strong with Xendor and his teachers immediately recognized his potential, though they also recognized the inherent darkness within him that he manifested itself during his short upbringing on his homeworld. For a time, he was one of the strongest of the Jedi Bendu but he began to use his powers for evil, taking on the teachings of the Bogan to reinforce his Jar’Kai teachings in combat. Because of his dark studies, he was exiled by the Jedi Bendu Council of Masters.

During his exile, he ventured into the Unknown Regions and eventually found the ancient, lost world of Had Abaddon in the Ashlan Expanse. Deep within the crystal caves of Mount Sky, Xendor uncovered an artifact known to the locals in legend as the Kaiburr crystal. The locals told him that, according to legend, a God called Pomojema used the crystal to heal the wounded. After hearing all of the legends, Xendor recognized that it was the Force of Others that was responsible and the glowing blue orb could be used as a weapon of unlimited power. After years of study in the caves, he found a way to use the crystal to enhance his powers in the Force of Others a thousand-fold.

After enhancing his power and becoming more powerful than any user of the Force of Others of his time, Xendor returned to the known galaxy and gathered followers from the Jedi Bendu Order that thought as he did about learning all aspects of the great mystery, as well as others who he felt were powerful enough. It was there that he founded the Legions of Lettow, a group that practiced the arts of the Bogan, and declared himself Supreme General. His underlings referred to themselves as the “minions of Xendor”, ready to die at his command and on his behalf as they recognized the power he could offer them.

During the time following the founding of the Legions, Xendor met a woman who had joined his ranks named Arden Lyn. After years of courting one another and trying to one-up the other, the two became lovers and formulated their plans for destroying the Jedi Bendu Order. At first, they used guerilla tactics. Hit-and-run attacks against Jedi Bendu holy sites and other important Republic sites, including the Galactic Senate, went on for years. For a time, they seemed to have an effect as the Senate appeared to be ready to bow down to Xendor’s demands. However, the tactic began to fail. Neither Xendor nor Arden could understand why, but they assumed that it was the Legions becoming bored with the same type of fighting and longing for a true war.

The Legions soon got what they wanted. After thirty years of existence, the Legions of Lettow traveled to Coruscant and prepared to launch an all-out war against an unsuspecting Republic and an unsuspecting Jedi Bendu Order. Using the power of the Kaiburr crystal, Xendor and Arden traveled to the Jedi Bendu Monastery and engaged the Council of Masters alone. During the duel, Xendor felt the fall of many of his warriors and quickly realized the battle had been a failure. Refusing never to allow himself to run away from a fight, Xendor and Arden continued against the Council of Masters but Xendor was struck down. Arden managed to get him away from the fight where he told her to protect the crystal and to ensure that his legacy continued. His final words were in a language that he had learned while in the Unknown Regions that he had called ‘Sith’.

January 27, 2008 – Vujaara dragon
The Vujaara dragon was a large, flying carnivorous reptile native to Jaratenge, and was infamously famous for it natural, yet uncanny, abilities to breath fire. Living in packs, the Vujaara dragon was a dangerous and fierce predator. Females grew up to eighty meters while males could grow up to 100 meters. Armed with sharp talons, brutal fangs, and the powerful ability to spew fire, the Vujaara dragon was the dominate predator of Jaratenge.

The Vujaara dragons, especially the rare Force-sensitive Ríoga Vujaara dragons, were uncommon sights. They were often adapted into legend, and typically a tragic one. The best known Jaratenge legend and folk tale revolves around the Vujaara dragon, and is known as one of Jaratenge's greatest tragedies, specifically because it was a true story. Although the legend, known as the "Tale of the Siblings", was considered sad, it was also considered a lesson of loyalty. The fact that the alpha male Vujaara dragon search tirelessly for the young of it's pack, showed it's devotion to it's own. The tale, though, was a double-edged sword.

On one hand, some of the people saw the Vujaara dragons are brutish beasts, destroying all in their path. On the other hand, some saw the alpha male Vujaara dragon's actions as a good example, disregarding the carnage caused by it, naturally. Many more tales about Vujaara dragons in regards to power or wisdom could be linked to the first legend. Eventually, the Vujaara dragons were seen as a powerful mount. In time, the Grand Army of Jaratenge used them as special mounts typically called "Dragon Riders".

February 3, 2008 – Jarik Pellaeon


Jarik Pellaeon was a Human Corellian born in the year 4,006 BBY; thirty years before the outbreak of the Mandalorian Wars.

He was assassinated by his cousin Ella Pellaeon, who reformed the Exchange into the Smuggler Union.

February 10, 2008 – Darth Nyne
Yungn'yne'akure, better known by his Nyne, and later Darth Nyne was a Chiss apprentice to Darth Havik, self-proclaimed True Sith Lord of the Empire Era. His life started as most force-sensitive individuals of the Galactic Republic, he trained on Dantooine with Jedi Master Lat-Kai Ell, decendant of Zez-Kai Ell one of the masters that had condemned Revan. Nyne had never come to truly appreciate the Jedi's training, and around 32 BBY he took up his masters blade and assaulted him, ending with Lat-Kai's death. Nyne left Dantooine for Coruscant, figuring if there were a place that one could hide from the Jedi it was the morally devoid bowels of the Planetcity. Taking up with a gang known as the Gurrcats he quickly moved up the ranks, all the while training himself in the Jar'Kai Lightsaber Form. It wasn't until around 19 BBY after winning the Undercity Cup he was approached by Darth Havik.

After joining up with Darth Havik, it would be many years of what most would call wasted time, but the time was spent training and perfecting many of their talents in the dark side of the force. Many trips to Korriban later Havik, using his Clawdite abilities, would start taking the guise of Sidious, while Nyne donned a reproduction of Vader's armor, gaining themselves control of small chunks of the Imperial Navy and Imperial Storm Troopers, to conduct missions that aided their cause, to be able to take over after the false Sith could be routed.

February 17, 2008 – Jar'Kata
Jar'Kata was a form of lightsaber combat developed by Jace Kyjar. It utilized two lightsabers, one normal sized in the dominant hand with a short lightsaber in the off-hand. The point of this form is to suprise the enemy greatly in shutting off your dominant lightsaber to break past defenses and make a quick strike, while the off-hand was still there to defend. The form was inspired by both Jar'Kai and Trakata, combining them to make a deadly form.

The form was created as a means of surprising the enemy and force them to alter their own style. There were many dangers in shutting off one's lightsaber in order to attack, which was the reason behind the use of the second lightsaber. The form has a deadly attack, coupled with an adequate defense, possibly making it a more deadly form than Juyo or Ataru.

Jace Kyjar would invent this form as a spark of his own creativity. He would first attempt it in a tournament fight against the Sith beast Khavaal, and failed, then again in training with his master Kyle Stellar. That time nearly worked, but he as blown away by a force wave. He would perfect the form upon being named a Jedi Knight.

In order to ensure his family's domanance, Muggera created the Hutt Secret Police which kept the locals in line. After his Orgo died, Muggera became Cilwelli's monarch. The Hutt began expanding the planet's industries and became extemely rich. However, he became too dependant on slave labor for his profit. After a bloody uprising, the plantary economy crashed. With his credits rapidly dissappearing Muggera was forced to rely on the aid of the Underworld Coalition and later the Confederacy. The Hutt fought in many battles during the Clone Wars, always watching from the safty of his flagship. Because of his limited experance in combat, however, Muggera was forced to rely on his Master of Arms. Often, when things went wrong, he would blame, and punish, his liuetinet. At the beginning of the war Muggera had a run-in with Anakin Skywalker after he kidnapped his wife, Padmé, at the behaste of Nute Gunray. When Skywalker rescued the senator he killed Muggera's intire family. The Hutt respounded by putting a price on the Jedi's head. His thirst for revenge would lead him to go as far as to defy the Galactic Empire when he discovered that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader were one in the same. The rivalry altemently led to Muggera's death.

March 2, 2008 – Androc Montra
Androc Montra was Human born on  in 1,707 BBY. Androc was raised under the full protection of his father, Grado Montra, during his early years, due to the dangerous streets of Onderon, which held rival families. Androc's mother had died in childbirth, so Androc was raised by many different nannies and babysitters. Due to his inability to leave the Montra estate's grounds, Androc received a private education in his home, alongside his best friend and cousin, Caldros Jevaa Montra. As a young child, Androc gained an interest in computer consoles, blasters, and other gadgets, often building things from scratch. When he came of age, Grado trained Androc how to fight and fire a blaster. After Androc's father was murdered during his wedding party in 1,689 BBY, Androc became obsessed with gaining power and finding who had ordered the assassination of his father. With the death of his father, Androc became the leader of the Montra family.

Suspecting his father's widow, Clari Valabra, to be the one who ordered Grado's murder, Androc conspired against her, which ended up killing her. However, Androc's conspiracy remained a secret from everyone else, except for Caldros, who had helped him kill Clari. Following her death, Androc rose security measures of his estate and made a pact with the Valabra family, to fight together in case of war. Not long after, the two families had to fight together against the Tilokatan family. In the end, the Tilokatan family was obliterated, and the Montra-Valabra Allegiance was victorious. After the Second Onderon Civil War, Androc had dealings with the Republic, Onderonian Government and the other Five Families in order to gain more power.

In 1,677 BBY, the Valabra family discovered Androc's secret, and their pact was broken. The two families turned on each other, and battle at the Montra estate broke out, nearly killing everyone who participated in it. In the end of it all, it was revealed to Androc that it had been Caldros who had ordered the hit on Grado, and that it was Caldros who ultimately betrayed Androc. The two fought each other, with the duel ending in both of their deaths.

Androc's legacy would live on for a long time after his death. Androc's cherished dog, Hunab, never forgot his master, and refused to provide loyalty to anyone else. Because of that, the dog was killed after he retaliated with his new owners. Androc's legacy also lived on through the historical records, and Historian Valen Sarastan was the Onderonian author known to document and share most of Androc's legacy as the Fallen Conspirator.

March 9, 2008 – Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi
The Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi was an ancient and noble monastic peacekeeping organization dedicated to serving and protecting the people of the Ashlan Expanse and, later, the Old Republic until it was broken apart in a schism caused by the Supreme Chancellor Contispex fifteen thousand years before the rise of the Galactic Empire. The organization derives its name from the birth name of The Skywalker, which was “Jedi Bendu”, and the Ophuchi, the people he led in the exodus from Had Abaddon to Kal'Shabbol. Before it’s decline, the order was unified through its belief in Yahweh, the God of the Universe, and his omnipotent presence that The Skywalker referred to as the Force of Others. Wielders of the mystic energy and signature long swords, the Jedi Bendu were revered as guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy.

A very religious people, the Jedi Bendu had an ancient set of prophecies that had been written by The Skywalker in the years leading up to his death. The descendants of Jonathan Bac, the first Supreme Chancellor of the Old Republic and the man responsible for the ultimate cooperation between the Republic and the Jedi Bendu and, later, the Jedi, went on to fulfill many of the prophecies, most notably the Prophecy of the Voyager and the Prophecy of the Last Son. After the creation of the new Jedi Bendu Order, some of its members went on to fulfill whole prophecies and parts of others.

Solving major crisis’ such as the Kal'Shabbol Civil War and the conflict with the Legions of Lettow, otherwise known as the minions of Xendor Taral, the Jedi Bendu had come to be trusted above all else by the citizens of the Republic. In the final years of their rule, they challenged the legality of many programs set up by Supreme Chancellor Contispex. In order to end what he perceived to be a threat to his rule, Contispex manipulated many on the Jedi Bendu Council of Masters into drafting a code and reforming their order into a more loyal system. However, two council members, Zios Malachor and Adena Qel-Droma, refused to do so and spoke out against the Supreme Chancellor. Qel-Droma eventually gave in to the new reforms that gave birth to the Jedi Order, but she was locked away in carbon freeze and became lost in space for what the Supreme Chancellor labeled as her “crimes”. Malachor and his followers fled to the Ashlan Expanse and formed the Bendu Order on Kal’Shabbol. The two orders would not be reunified into a new Jedi Bendu Order until the death of Emperor Palpatine and the fall of his Galactic Empire on Coruscant.

March 16, 2008 – Jonathan Bac
Jonathan Bac was a legendary Alderaanian Admiral, Ambassador to the Coalition of Planets and the first Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. In the role of Admiral of the Alderaanian fleet, he was responsible for the decisive final campaign against the Anarchic Brotherhood of Planets that brought the Unification War to a close. As the Ambassador to the Coalition of Planets, he worked closely with the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi to ensure a smooth transition between numerous regional governments and one galactic democracy. In his role as ambassador, he also drafted the Galactic Charter and was the first to sign it at the ceremony that witnessed the founding of the Galactic Republic.

One of the most important politicians in the early history of the Galactic Republic, Jonathan was credited with saving the House of Organa and the Corellian Empire from destruction and for paving the way to the founding of the Galactic Republic. He was also responsible for allowing the Jedi Bendu, and later the Jedi, to become a major presence in the day-to-day affairs of the Galactic Republic. It was also foretold that his descendants were those spoken of in the Prophecies of The Skywalker. During the Ashlan Civil War, the Great Sovereign Crusades and the Galactic Civil War, that foretelling was proved correct when Ussej Padric Bac, Ussej Padric Bac II, Ussej Padric Bac III and Ussej Padric Bac LXIV fulfilled passages within the prophecies. Jonathan was also well-remembered and revered for literally setting up the brilliant democratic system that lasted for twenty-five thousand years after the beginning of his term in office.

March 23, 2008 – Veneradi
The Veneradi, which meant Honor Guards in Galactic Basic, were large, bipedal reptilian humanoids from the planet Venera. The Veneradi were very honorable sentients, who creating allegiances with neighboring planets and had unified their entire species as one large covenant composed of all the Veneradi clans, named the Veneradi Covenant. The Veneradi Covenant was a militaristic dictatorship, by description, though the leaders of the society were not harsh, cruel, nor ill-willed. The society of the Veneradi was instead very formal and religious, following the teachings of their god, Kodo. They spoke the language by the same name as their species.

The Veneradi were very physically built. They were taller and usually stronger than most other Humanoid species, including Humans and their greatest enemies, the Locadi. Their reptilian traits allowed them to survive the natural disasters and unnatural disasters brought onto their homeworld. Those in the Veneradi military added even more protection to themselves by wearing strong and resistant armor according to their ranking.

Known to most other galactic beings as Veners, the Veneradi were known for their prowess in combat and in war, as well as for their loyalty. The Veneradi were great swordsmen, marksmen and technicians. With their unique weapons and extensive training, the Veneradi were very skilled and prepared for combat. The Lords, the highest rank in the Covenant, were highly skilled swordsmen that could wield their blades, the Rapa Dyo, with the same skill as a force-sensitive Jedi Knight.

March 30, 2008 – New Confederacy of Independent Systems
The New Confederacy of Independent Systems, sometimes referred to as the New CIS or the New Separatists, was the government of former Seperatists worlds formed by Troyb that replaced the Confederate Remnant in its quest to rule the Galaxy. Many mega-corporations that were once members of the first Confederacy of Independent Systems joined the New CIS hoping to succeed where the first movement failed.

The rise of the New CIS led to a great deal of tension between it and the New Republic. After some time, the rising tensions led to the outbreak of the New CIS/GDE Wars. After the New Republic revealed that its New Grand Army of the Republic on Coruscant, the New CIS was forced to attack major Republic worlds. The war lasted for many years and tore the galaxy apart.

The New CIS movement struck fear into the hearts of countless New Republic citizens, mostly due to the presence of Darth Tyler, the Supreme Commander of the droid armies. The New Confederacy won many battles during the war, but the New Republic refused to bow down without a long and difficult fight. This promise eventually proved to be untrue, as the New Republic collapsed from within. For the ten millennia that followed, the New Confederacy of Independent Systems remained the sole governing body of the galaxy.

April 6, 2008 – Chapek IX
Chapek IX was a human colonized planet during the Old Republic. It was a prosperous community which held much influence within the Republic during its time. It had a grand droid factory that produced hordes of different kinds of robots. Battle droids, astromech droids, protocol droids and many more were created here.

However, after many years the droids began to get aggravated. They would unite and surprisingly rebel against the humans, driving them all out of the planet and eliminating the world from the Republic. With a new robot-run world, a council of Robot Elders, comprised of the first created droids were placed in charge. They submitted a zero-tolerance policy on humans.

Eventually, the world would be liberated by a group of pirates. Though not the best of outcomes, it was still better than having a robot controlled world. The pirates gained control of the planet and the droids by bringing in supplies that the droids would have needed to survive any longer.

Following a war in which the droids were almost all destroyed and the pirates were defeated, the planet was returned to the Republic. It would never return to the way it was before, but it has a history of a very important planet.

April 13, 2008 – Ichi Go
Ichi Go was a male Human/Arkanian hybrid and a Jedi Master. He was also one of five people that the Rutsenafo scientist, Crie Krobos, had experimented on at an early age. He was one of the most long-lived Jedi Knights the Galaxy had ever known, living for hundreds of years.

Born into a scandal, Ichi Go was quietly brought to Nar Shaddaa to live away from his family, who were ashamed and afraid of his existence. Thanks to the intervention of a visiting Jedi Master, he and another hybrid&mdash;who later became his best friend, Renton Thur'ston&mdash;were saved and brought to Novus Kamino Prime.

Being Force-sensitive, he was taught along with Renton by the Jedi Masters there, until the Great Schism, where several of their Masters died in the first of many attacks in the war. Deciding that the way the leaders of Novus Kamino Prime were carrying the war were wrong, they hooked up with the Kelakan resistance and stayed there until they were delivered by the true savior, Nathaniel Kenobi Solo.

He would later meet his greatest foe, and half-brother, the dreaded Darth Gloed when the latter wished to extract revenge for the pain he had suffered from the scandal. Several meetings and battles proved ineffective between the two, until the Sith Order of Decreto came and took Novus Kamino Prime.

Forced to flee, Ichi and the remaining Jedi joined with Nathan to form the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People. Over the next few years, they would cripple and scuttle several Sith operations. Eventually, Ichi fell into trouble with Gloed again, but emerged victorious. He would eventually join the Galactic Commonwealth and the Jedi Autocracy as well, due to his ability to remain practically immortal.

After several years of living his life looking eternally young, he sought the help of his old friends who were also suffering from the same thing and set out to find what he truly was. Investigations found that he had been tampered on at birth and that he would soon have to enter a state of hibernation for untold centuries, awaiting the day he would be needed next.

Waking up in the Dark Age, he met a new member of the Five, a redeemed Dark Jedi, a pirate crew, three new Force organizations, and a descendant of his former mentor. All of these helped to give Ichi and the other members of the Five, their true purpose in life.

April 20, 2008 – Bombing of Pho Ph'eah
The Bombing of Pho Ph’eah was a major turning point in the Third Sith Empire's war effort against the Galactic Republic during the Great Territorial War. The Jedi Council was given what they believed to be reliable information by Jedi Master Kit Corwin Rendar stating that Sith forces had infiltrated the major technological and manufacturing centers on Pho Ph’eah and that they were attempting to build up a far more massive army than they already had. With the approval of the Galactic Senate, the Jedi Order and the Republic military launched an orbital bombardment of the planet in an effort to take out the Sith forces on the surface.

Following the conclusion of the battle, Republic scouts made their way to the surface and concluded that there was no trace of any Sith forces either before or during the battle. When Fleet Captain La'El Montrose confronted Rendar about the faulty intelligence, the Jedi Master revealed that there was, in fact, one Sith Lord on the surface. Rendar revealed himself to be Darth Ravinos, the apprentice of the Dark Lordess Viea, and that he had planned the attack with intelligence he had fabricated to tarnish the image of the Jedi and the Republic across the galaxy. After skinning Montrose and blowing his skinless remains out an airlock, Ravinos stole the Republic flagship Equinox and was not heard from again for some time.

Ravinos was successful in tarnishing the image of both the Republic and the Jedi, though mostly the Jedi. The public had known that the Dark Lordess was once a Jedi Master, though the fact that another Jedi Master turned to the Dark Side and became her apprentice was far too troubling for them. The Jedi saw their public approval ratings sink and watched as less and less worlds called out for their help in matters both related and not related to the war.

April 27, 2008 – Desnium
Desnium was a unique form of lightsaber combat originally developed by the Jedi Master Narod Antrell. The form was developed for years, as Narod Antrell developed his lightsaber skills and personalized the way he fought. Eventually, after discovering the name of his grandfather in 8 BBY, Desnium, Narod used the name for his form of combat. Years later, he taught the unique form to his son, Roviik Antrell, who utilized it and personalized it himself as the years went by. The only other suspected practitioner was Zeri Undis Antrell, Narod's wife, since Narod also trained and sparred with her. Desnium completely died out after the redeemed Roviik Antrell sacrificed himself, dying as the last practitioner.

Desnium used traits, strengths and philosophies of, , and. With it's varying forms, the one-handed and the standard forms, Desnium used the aggressive and acrobatic traits of Ataru, the defensive traits of Jar'Kai, and the environmental traits of Sokan in battle.

Narod made sure his son was strong in the Force and was well disciplined, so that he was victorious in battle, since Desnium required more concentration on the Force and the environment, instead of raw, physical skill.

Overall, Desnium was a devastating and highly efficient lightsaber form when used in combat. Throughout history, it helped the Antrell family defeat their foes and liberate civilizations, which helped built the Republic of P'ur and unify the S'Voet Region. Although Desnium never left a true legacy, it's practitioners did so through it's use.

May 4, 2008 – Battle of Nar Shaddaa (GDE/Legion)
The Battle of Nar Shadda was a fierce battle between the Galactic Droid Empire and the Steel Legion, which started after a communiqué between its leaders went badly wrong. It resulted in a pact between the GDE and Legion, but also caused severe damage to several Nar Shaddaa districts. Both factions took casualties in the battle, and the two commanders themselves--Darth Tyler and Unit 8311--engaged in a ferocious duel on the planet in a refinery, with both of them bringing to brunt their finest abilities and in 8311's case equipment and gadgetry.

Meanwhile, on space and on the ground, both sides focused on outdoing each other in firepower, with large civilian casualties caused in the crossfire. Throughout the battle, the GDE had the advantage in quantity, and the Legion in quality. The two factions soon brought out their finest soldiers and equipment in a bid to overwhelm one another, but this merely led to more destruction being caused. The battle was comparable to the Battle of Coruscant in terms of its epic legacy. However, eventually, Tyler and 8311 got so worn down in their duel that both asked one another for a truce, ending the ferocious battle. Both sides took heavy casualties in the battle, which lasted for some time. Fighting between pockets of forces from both sides that had failed to receive communications of the truce would continue for a few weeks.

May 13, 2008 – Bendu Order
The Bendu Order was an ancient and noble monastic peacekeeping organization headquartered on Kal'Shabbol in the Ashlan Expanse. It was one of two great orders, the other being the Jedi Order, that emerged during a schism within the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi fifteen thousand years before the Galactic Civil War. The Bendu Order was unified through its belief in Yahweh, the God of the universe, and his omnipotent presence known as the Force of Others. The wielders of that mystic energy and signature long swords made out of elements similar to cortosis, the Bendu Knights were revered as the guardians of an everlasting peace in the worlds of the Ashlan Expanse, particularly Had Abaddon, Ondus and Aquilae.

The Bendu Order rarely left their home planet of Kal'Shabbol to fight in conflicts that did not directly pertain to them, though there were three major instances when they did. Under the leadership of Ussej Padric Bac and Ussej Padric Bac II, and with help from Damien Nightblade of the Shadourian Order, the order successfully eliminated the dictatorship of Husen Al-Dubrir of Had Abaddon and Adena Qel-Droma during the Ashlan Civil War. Nearly fifty years later, Ussej Padric Bac III led a holy war with Shadourian Master Ein Nightblade against the Jedi Order, though when it indirectly led to the rise of the Third Sith Empire the Bendu returned to Kal’Shabbol and Ussej Padric Bac III sacrificed his life to destroy Emperor Invidius. Nearly four thousand years later, under the leadership of Ussej Padric Bac LXIV, the Bendu Order helped the Alliance to Restore the Republic destroy the Galactic Empire and the Order of Sith Lords. With the galaxy liberated, Ussej Padric Bac LXIV and Luke Skywalker forged an unprecedented and formed the Second Jedi Bendu Order.

An order of highly religious people, the Bendu had an ancient set of prophecies that had been passed down from the time of The Skywalker, the founder of the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi. Many of their own people, such as members of the Bac family, fulfilled many of the prophecies, while many others were fulfilled by Jedi Knights and Jedi Bendu Knights after the reunification of the Jedi Order and the Bendu Order. Because of the prophecies, as well as what the Bendu had done, the legacy of the Bendu Order lasted long after it had merged with the Jedi Order, even during the crisis with the Prophets of Lettow.
