Raid on the Jedi Bendu Monastery

The Raid on the Jedi Bendu Enclave was a battle during the Kal'Shabbol Civil War. Shortly after the Eternal Order of the Vipera found what they believed was proof about the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi stealing food from thier valley, the Valley People threatened the Jedi Bendu both with words and with a surprise attack on a small Jedi Bendu monestary in the mountains near Ashla Prime, slaughtering many of the unprepared Jedi Bendu that were on the outside an attempting to burn down the building. Matthew of Skywalker, who was at the monastery, led the defense forces and his life was spared when the Jedi Bendu sent reinforcements with which to drive the attack force away, though they were already preparing to fall back and regroup when the force arrived anyway.

At the end of the attack, the Valley People were seen as a true threat to the lives of the Jedi Bendu and the peaceful group of religious people was pushed to declare war. Even the colonists of Ashla Prime and Vattica began seeing the Valley People as a threat, though for some time they maintained neutrality to avoid being caught up in the war. During that same time, spies from the valley were sent to observe the strategies of the Jedi Bendu, and while they spied upon them the Valley People became aware of the Force of Others, something that they deemed very valuable. They were instructed to find out more information on it once they reported it back to their superiors.
