January 5 – Mandalore the Wise


Mandalore the Wise or Te Dral Mand'alor in Mando'a, was a renowned businessmen, soldier and later, leader of the Mando'ade Alliance, before and during the Sith Crusade. One of the few starwars:Taung still in the galaxy, Te Dral was born to the rich and powerful Mandal family, and from an early age was taught the importance of patience, skill and honor. Following his father's death and Te Dral's eighteenth birthday, starwars:Fenn Shysa offered Te Dral a place in the Mandalorian Protectors. After his resignation from the Protectors Te Dral joined the Mandalore's Guard, and became a close associate of starwars:Boba Fett.

Te Dral later fought during the starwars:Confederation-Galactic Alliance War, serving with distinction during the battle of Fondor and earning a mutual respect with both Boba Fett, and the Jedi starwars:Luke Skywalker. But despite this respect, Te Dral was not above usurping the throne of Boba Fett, and following the latter's death in 46 ABY he performed his coup d'état.

Now Mandalore, Te Dral became well known to the starwars:Galactic Federation of Free Alliances and (unknowingly to him) the Sith Order of Decreto, thanks to his various "war crimes". Te Dral knew that the Galactic Alliance was unwilling to enter yet another war, and so continued with wars in the Outer Rim; but was not above checking back to make sure he did not push the Jedi too far. The wars past quickly, and the Mandalorian military began to wane, but with whispers of a new Sith threat in the galaxy, Te Dral began a massive re-militarization program, but even this was not enough to prevent the near-total destruction of the Mandalorian people during the battle of Mandalore.

Following the battle, Te Dral joined forces with the Sith Order of Decreto, but maintained a soft rebellion against the Sith Empire, secretly supplying various Mandalorian rebel movements throughout the Mandalore sector.

January 11, 2007 – Battle of Dathomir
The Battle of Dathomir was the first major battle in the Corruption War.

Several weeks before the battle, the Zann Consortium came into power on Ilum as Tyber Zann united pirate fleets across the galaxy under his command and coalesced them over Ilum. After amassing a modest fleet and setting the Galactic Empire into his crosshairs for destruction, Tyber calculated that he would never be able to take on the ferocious, multiheaded savage beast that was the Empire even with all the pirates and major criminal organizations in the galaxy, and set out to take the Rebel Alliance as his allies.

January 17, 2007 – Battle of Maryl
The Battle of Maryl was a battle in the end of the second year of the Clone Wars. It is considered one of the most important battles that Smide Hepen fought in, and it was his first since his self created leave of absense.

The battle was almost resovled during a truce three days in, but no agreement could be met, and as such, continued for a week until the Republic finally could push forward and gain control of the planet.

An interesting bit of information is that Cordeth Hepen, who was named as the lead Jedi General in this battle, was the only Jedi not to be wounded, however, every Jedi survived, except Martina Legauken, who died later because of her injuries.

January 23, 2007 – Narod Antrell


Narod Antrell was a Human Padawan of the Jedi Order born in 33 BBY on the Outer Rim world of Dantooine. Antrell was the son of Malua and Radi Antrell, and joined the Order when the Jedi Watchman Joraic'enlos came to Dantooine and took him to Coruscant. After he was initiated by the Order's Grand Master Yoda, Antrell was placed in the Ascending Jedi Clan, where he befriended his roomate Rikao.

While in the Ascending Jedi, Antrell developed a bond with the Jedi Knight Cinde Moun, who had been appointed the group's teacher. Moun opted to become Antrell's personal Jedi Master in 22 BBY, but was killed in the Battle of Geonosis – which started the galaxy-wide Clone Wars – and was unable to fulfill this. Without a master by the age of thirteen, Antrell was reassigned to service in the Agricultural Corps. Regardless, Antrell secretly continued his studies until he stowed away from Coruscant in 19 BBY, unknowingly the same night the Great Jedi Purge began.

Antrell eventually arrived at Dantooine, where he befriended the Devaronian Mayik Treno, who was able to help Antrell begin his new life. The boy took the name Draegan and became the garbage boy for Adoor and his cantina to make a living. Months later, Adoor, Antrell, and their Snivvian friend Erroph discovered Treno was in financial trouble and helped him get off-world. Although it caused trouble between the trio and Bronoge, the head of the local crime ring whom Treno had owed debts to, Antrell remained safe thanks to his friends and was eventually discovered by the Whiphid Jedi Master-in-hiding K'Kruhk.

The Jedi Master offered Antrell, having realized the boy was Force-sensitive, apprenticeship under him, which he agreed to. After leaving behind his friends, Antrell ventured with K'Kruhk and his pilot Chase Piru to the green moon, where only he and K'Kruhk remained in order for Antrell to complete his Jedi training. There, K'Kruhk mentioned that Antrell's most important trial would be facing oneself; sometime later, Antrell encountered an apparition, which he had unwittingly created with his own mind, during his training in the nearby Phydah Forest.

January 30, 2007 – Bryn Fulcron
Bryn Fulcron was a Jedi Knight/Master during the Yuuzhan Vong War and the Legacy Era. He was the grandson of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and was married to Jaina Solo-Fulcron.

Fulcron was born on Dubrillion in 10 ABY to renowned landowner Kyn Fulcron and his wife, Terra. Bryn had 1 sister, Bryt Fulcron, who was born in 14 ABY. As a small boy, Bryn heard many stories of the reborn Jedi, such as Luke Skywalker. Unlike his father, the small boy was quite interested in his Jedi lineage, and wanted to find Master Skywalker's Academy as soon as he came of age. His father put up a front of not wanting Bryn to fill his head with delusions and grandeur, but in reality, Kyn did not want his eldest child's life ruined by the Force as his had been. As a result, Kyn Fulcron forbade Bryn from ever actively looking for the Jedi Temple.

February 5, 2007 – Shapeshifters
Shapeshifters (or Shallar as they prefer to call themselves) are a race of polymorphic creatures thought to be merely legend. They originated in the Far Unknown Regions, and, due to civil wars and friction, separated into several groups: the non-pureblood Juur'lan'iin (who became the modern Gurlanins), the non-pureblood genetically modified and selectively bred Crokes, the non-pureblood Shi'Ido (ancestors of the modern race of the same name), the highly mutated Veras (who became the Felacatians), the Pureblood Shapeshifters, and the unmodified Lorsanan Shapeshifters. The Lorsanan Shapeshifters disappeared a little after the First Jedi Purge, holding their own deep in the Far Unknown Regions where they remain isolated to this day. The Pureblood Shapeshifters were the cause of this isolation, as they were nearly completely destroyed in the Mandalorian Wars. They were nearly wiped out, with only a few left in the Galaxy. The race fell into legend, as they rarely ever revealed their race; however, several Purebloods live in the Galaxy to this day.

They are an interesting race, both plagued and gifted with their rare physiology that inadvertently can make them an extremely powerful opponent. However, this is restrained by their biological and mental fears and their general willful social oppression. The only known one who attained this near god-like peak is Rokur Gepta due to his offshoot race's genetic tampering.

They were, and may still be, a very artistic race, with reportedly many achievements in music and art in both aesthetic and architectural capacities, credited to their creative minds. However, their segregationalist and specisist attitude kept them from general discovery, thus making the true quality of these achievements impossible to gauge.

February 11, 2007 – Second Mandalorian Wars
The Second Mandalorian Wars was a conflict that occured exactly fifteen years after the Jedi Civil War and ten years after the First Jedi Purge. The Mandalorian Empire fought against the Jedi Order and Galactic Republic for three years before the Treaty of Coruscant was signed. The outcome of the war brought the Galactic Coalition between the Jedi, the Republic, and the Mandalorians and intergalactic peace. It was named the Second Mandalorian Wars after the First Mandalorian Wars. The Mandalorians were once again defeated.

February 25 – 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 alliance 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.

March 4 – Sith Order of Decreto


The Sith Order of Decreto, officially known as the Empire of the Sith Order of Decreto, but more commonly known as the Decreton Empire, was an ancient and powerful faction of the starwars:Sith Empire. The brain child of Konopka, who would later become the Orders first Dark Lord, the Sith Order of Decreto was conceived to be the eyes, ears, and knife of the ancient empire. During the Great Hyperspace War of 5,000 BBY many of the Order's ranks were destroyed in battles of Koros Major, Kirrek and Primus Goluud, with the orders flagship &mdash;Devastator&mdash; being destroyed, drastically thinning their ranks and stunting their effectiveness.

Following the battle of Primus Goluud the Sith Order of Decreto retreated into the Unknown Regions, where they settled upon the planet Ni. Adopting it as their homeworld, the Sith conquered the planet jump-started its inhabitants technological abilities and set themselves up as gods. Quickly securing control over the numerous warring nations, the Sith Order of Decreto begun creation of a small interstellar empire. Konopka's armies spread across the sector, creating a fleet of warships to carry supplies and men across the empire.

For thousands of years the Sith Order of Decreto survived on the very fringes of the galaxy; constantly battling pirate organizations and the starwars:Chiss Ascendancy for control of the region, all the meanwhile, slowly working its way into the major galactic governments. But as the years past, and infighting amongst the ruling Houses worsened and struggles within the House of Ni caused the planet's seclusion from the rest of the empire. However, the Sith soon overcame their struggles with the promotion of Hekas-ni to the rank of Dark Lord; and under Hekas-ni the Decreton Order flourished, with its power, strength and sheer will to survival becoming undeniable. The Empire survived two more civil wars before finally being united under Ater Phasas'a.

The Sith Order of Decreto, now united and strengthened, continued in the plans to control the major galactic governments, using their influence to pass several influential laws through-out the galaxy. Eventually however, the Sith Order of Decreto was discovered by the headstrong Jedi Master Jasca Ducato. Ducato killed the then-Dark Lord, Guerreiro, usurped the title for himself and set about absorbing the Sith Order of Decreto into his own personal empire. Successful, Darth Abeonis waged a gruesome war against the starwars:Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, and the galaxy whole.

Years past, but the Sith order of Decreto was successful, and by 74 ABY had conquered Coruscant. With the entire galaxy under their rule, the Empire of the Sith Order of Decreto entered a period of near total peace, until the year 121 ABY and the death of Abeonis. Yet another civil war followed, and the rise of another Dark Lord followed. Under Krayt, the Sith Order of Decreto ruled with an iron fist, and by the time of his death, and even the ascension of Darth Wyyrlok in 214 ABY the Sith still ruled supreme. Eventually however, the Sith of the Sith Order of Decreto met a foe that matched themselves; the Zao tenj.

War with the Zao tenj ravaged the galaxy, and frced the Sith to unite with their sworn enemy, the Jedi. For sixty years the war ravaged the galaxy, but in 300 ABY the Zao tenj were finally defeated. Unfortunately for the Sith however, the victory had been costly. No longer able to support their massive empire the Sith were forced to withdraw to their holdings within the Unknown Regions, leaving the galaxy open to a new wave of empires and governments.

The Sith Order of Decreto had not forgotten the galaxy however, and following the Fourth Jedi Purge in 3,260 ABY, was prepared to make its return.

March 11 – Alpha-Ø4
Alpha-Ø4 was raised differently from most other clones because of his special designation as an ARC Trooper. Trained by Jango Fett and several other Mandalorian mercenaries, the young commando learned advanced combat skills and small group-based tactics. He entered the War shortly after its commencement and served with exemplary marks on such fronts as Jabiim and Mygeeto. He may have been one of the Empire's elite had he not abandoned his post shortly after the instating of Order 66.

Branded as a criminal and outlaw for rejecting the Empire, Gulo spent the next twenty years doing mercenary work for whoever would hire them. After escaping an exotic world, he set out to create an organization dedicated to helping the less fortunate ones of the Galaxy in the more violent, ambiguously legal manner. Shortly after, the Broken Circle Armada was founded, and thrived under Gulo's leadership for nearly three decades, existing to see the fall of the Galactic Empire, rise of the New Republic, and invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong.

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Gulo's armada aided in the First Battle of Coruscant. He consequently did not survive the battle.

March 18, 2007 – Krad Erron
Krad Erron was a Force Sensitive Human Male with Mandalorian blood in his veins, born 19 BBY. He became a Rebel pilot at age 21 in 0 BBY, after his mother was murdered for housing Rebel "fugitives". Years later, he joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy as a fully fledged Jedi Knight, but then mysteriously disappeared for thousands of years.

Around 150 BBY, Krad's ancestor, Janos Dylyk married a Female Mandalorian named Kasa Huuran. Their son, Wyskn Dylyk (Born that same year) was a famed Mandalorian hero. Around 120 BBY Wyskn went on an investigation mission for a missing Mandalorian recruit on the ice world of Xenos. At that same time, a Jedi Knight named Fask Rangul was investigating Black Sun activity and saw the Mandalorian. Believing he was in league with the underworld activity, Fask engaged Wyskn in combat. Wyskn was truly formidable in combat, but was eventually decapitated, nonetheless. When news of his death, and his killer, got news to Mandalore, his daughter Avual (born 104 BBY), planned a trap for the Jedi in the Maw, where she killed him in a starfighter battle.

March 25 – Hei-Ri Devon
Hei-Ri Devon was a legendary human male Jedi Master, and one of the greatest heroes in the history of the Republic. Devon was considered to be one of the most powerful and most respected Jedi Masters in the Jedi Order since Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Trained in the way of the Jedi by Jedi Masters Orius Malfar and Azel Jon, Hei-Ri Devon was known for his daring spirit, his charisma and his legendary skill with the lightsaber. As a Grand Master of the Order, he led the Jedi into a era of peace and prosperity, and as a High General of the Republic, he fought many battles in the name of democracy and freedom. A loyal servant of the Force, the former Avatar of the Light Side also carries the burden of being the present Protector of the Force.

April 1, 2007 – Dark Guardians of Lettow


The Dark Guardians of Lettow, also referred to just as the Lettow, was a group of dark side warriors founded by the self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness Carden Mannux, who at one point had been known as the Sith Lord Darth Lettow. The Lettow practiced the dark side of the Force, and was created based upon the teachings, writings and philosophies of more-well-known dark side users such as Xendor Taral and Marka Ragnos. The creation of the Lettow was also a culmination of failed experiments such as the Sith Battle Lords Project. Said to have been fiercely devoted to their causes, the Lettow worshiped the dark side and, in time, their main goal was to aid the Order of the Sith Lords and the Galactic Empire in destroying the Jedi Order, as well as the Bendu Order during the Galactic Civil War.

After the first leaders Damien Starkiller and Darius passed away, the Lettow spent centuries worshiping the dark side in the hopes of gaining power to dominate the Force. However, when they were rediscovered during the Millennium of Hiding by the Sith Lord Darth Vectivus, the Lettow became foot soldiers for the Order of the Sith Lords when Vectivus took on Deak Starkiller, later Darth Ujur, as his apprentice. This relationship remained in place for nearly five hundred years until the death of Darth Plagueis, as the knowledge of their location was lost when Plagueis was killed by his apprentice Darth Sidious.

After having been located and integrated into the Order of the Sith Lords and the Galactic Empire by Sidious and his apprentice Darth Vader, the Lettow were the main Imperial force behind many battles, such as the two Battles on Alderaan, the Sieges of Naboo and the Battle of Coruscant’s Moon. However, during the battle on the moon of Coruscant, where the main Lettow headquarters was located, the Lettow were destroyed during a Bendu raid, leaving only Kane Starkiller, Mara Jade and a handful of others alive, though the majority of the survivors were eventually killed during the final battles of the war.

The destruction of the Dark Guardians of Lettow thereby destroyed thousands of years of work by numerous dark side users. However, the philosophies and practices that they utilized were later used by the Prophets of Lettow, a so-called fanatical group that attempted to bring about the resurrection of Carden Mannux. During this time and for some time after, the Dark Guardians of Lettow were remembered for what historians noted as their brutal discipline and lust for power in the upper ranks, along with the supposedly unholy methods individuals sometimes used to advance in rank.

April 8 – Simeon Alkir


Simeon Alkir, known as the False Revan and the Specter Knight, was a Force-sensitive during the last century of the Galactic Republic. Born on Haruun Kal in 81 BBY, Simeon was noted for his Force ability, a common trait amongst the Korun. He was discovered by the Jedi Watchman of Haruun Kal, Cester Caul. Taken to the Jedi Order, he was trained as a Padawan under Jedi Master Genis Darlih. Together with her other Padawans, Darn Folle and Colette Nympha, he trained under the tenants of the Jedi, however, Simeon sought things that a Jedi shouldn’t. He desired fame, wealth, and power. Because the Council thought he was ignorant to the darkness in his heart, he was not granted the rank of Knight, and was forced to remain a Padawan.

His fellow Padawans, Darn and Colette, had been granted the rank of Knight because the Council thought they acknowledged their inner darkness and overcame it. Darn and Colette were captured by a Dark Jedi named Mardoc on Deralia on one of their first missions. Simeon was sent to rescue them, but he arrived too late, both of his old allies were dead within a minute of Simeon’s arrival. Enraged, Simeon challenged Mardoc, but he lost and was captured by the Dark Jedi.

Mardoc tempted him, promising him all that he ever wanted; infamy, wealth, and power beyond his wildest dreams. All he had to do was surrender to him and join his ranks as a Dark Jedi. Though Simeon resisted the torture at first, he eventually succumbed to the pain and used the dark side to break free. He surrendered to Mardoc’s will, and Simeon joined the ranks of Mardoc’s Dark Jedi.

While he was serving Mardoc, Simeon began converting Mardoc's followers and began to turn them against him; he founded a secret base on the abandoned world of Regalon VII to ensure his success. He gathered a small army of Deralians to assist him, and together with Jed Surno, Mardoc's former right-hand man, they overthrew Mardoc and his supporters. Organizing a planetary empire that became known as the Regalak Empire, he moved on to conquer several worlds, including Deralia, Regalon VII, Sram I, and Manaan. Now insane, he was certain he was Revan’s Force ghost and had returned to defeat the Republic. Eventually, he gathered an army and believed he could conquer the Republic. His pride and his quickly degenerating mind began to interfere with his judgment, and he decided to send an attack force to Anaxes while he and his vanguard units attacked Coruscant during the distraction.

Though everything began the way Simeon had planned, Simeon forgot to consider the part the Jedi played in his plans. The Council moved in to kill him, and he survived only because his soldiers sacrificed themselves so he could escape. He crawled over to a nearby building, and commanded his forces retreat; he decided there was no hope for victory at this point. At this moment, Surno, jealous of Simeon's power, attempted to assassinate him. The Regalak Admiral, admiral, Luto Garr, attempted to save him, but Surno killed them both, securing the throne for himself.

April 15 – Ussej Padric Bac III


Ussej Padric Bac III, sometimes referred to as the Morning Star, was born on Aquilae to Ussej Padric Bac II and Tesiana Al-Dubrir during the Second Ashlan Civil War, making him a part of a long line of legendary war heroes, politicians, tyrants, Jedi Knights and Bendu Knights. He was the third man of the Bac family to bear the name “Ussej Padric Bac”, and was the first to bear the name after the tradition began to name every firstborn male of the family “Ussej Padric Bac” in honor of his grandfather, Ussej Padric Bac. Because of his abilities and his family name, he became the Bendu High Priest and led the Bendu Order during the Great Sovereign Crusades. During that war, he was also said to be a catalyst in bringing about a consequential holy war that exiled the Jedi Order from Coruscant. This act also brought the Third Sith Empire to power once again and nearly brought about the decline Galactic Republic in the process.

During the war, Ussej was one of the players in a trinity of three individuals from three different backgrounds. Falling in love with Isabella Dashin and eventually allying himself Kalel Esunkit, Isabella’s eventual lover and father of her daughter, he was able to use the trinity to rectify his mistakes, thereby becoming knowing as the Morning Star and being welcomed as a Prophet of the Order of the Whills. His spirit was carried to Ashlan Four after he sacrificed himself to save Kalel and kill Carden Mannux, his arch enemy, in the Temple of the Ancients on Lehon. After visiting his home one last time in the form of a spirit, he made his way into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Ussej’s mistakes during the war brought about an age of awakening for the Bendu Order. After Ussej’s death, his greatest friend and successor as High Priest, Josiah Rendar, helped the order rebuild itself from the ground up. Josiah always remained cognizant of his friend’s life story to ensure that what happened during his time would not happen again. During the age of awakening, there were not only changes in appearances but a change in the way that the order viewed itself in comparison to the rest of the universe. Ussej, along with his father and grandfather, was able to help the order realize what would happen to someone if they allowed pride get the better of them. For that, Ussej was never forgotten.

April 22 – Battle of Vuur
The Battle of Vuur was the first battle of the Dar'yaim War. The conflict began behind the scenes, without anyone's knowledge. The Nee'mal Sith Order gave the Mandalorians of A'den promises of power and galactic dominance if they were to wage war against the S'Voet Region, which prompted the Usti'jin Triumvirate to prepare an attack. Meanwhile, the Sith Lord Darth Baas took Roviik Antrell captive, in an attempt to lure him to the dark side. Narod Antrell, his wife Zeri Undis Antrell, and other Jedi members of the Jedi Army had been stranded on Vuur after Baas had their ship gunned down, and brought to the Bogenoemd Center. Once Roviik was taken captive, the Sith Lord threw the group into the wild.

Antrell and his companions were able to rally the Suide Vuuranians from the South to their cause, to fight against the advanced Bogenoemd and retrieved both their honor and Roviik Antrell in the process. As the Jedi Army marched towards the Bogenoemd Center, the Mandalorians also launched their attack, landing small transports around the Bogenoemd Center and invading the city. The Bogenoemd were facing battle on two fronts, and failed to attempt either side of their city. They were overrun, and eventually Narod Antrell was able to reach his son and free him, after a duel with Darth Baas. Following his defeat, Baas escaped and rallied his trained warriors, Sith Assassins, and led them into battle against the Mandalorians.

Darth Baas was able to kill Deng Usti'jin, the leader of the Triumvirate, and in retaliation, he was killed by Li Usti'jin, the youngest of the Triumvirate. Towards the end of the battle, the Jedi Army had already lost Bromiir and Oleon, and had lost much ground to the Mandalorians. The Bogenoemd were also losing, especially without their Sith leader. In order to give Zeri and Roviik time to escape and Arassk time to retreat, Narod held off a large portion of the Mandalorians, dying in the process. His wife and son were able to escape by hijacking a transport, while Arassk and the remaining Suide were able to retreat to the South. The Bogenoemd Center was lost to the Mandalorians, however, and while Li Usti'jin began a large cleanup of the fallen, his brother, Vha Usti'jin, led an attack against Arassk, in the South.

Jerr Adoh, the Archon of the Republic of P'ur, sent a reconnaissance team to Vuur to assist Arassk after he was informed by Zeri and Roviik, but the team failed and all were killed in the process, including Arassk and Pavass, the leader of the Suide. With their deaths, ended the the Battle of Vuur, and began the Dar'yaim War. Roviik Antrell would be the last hope for the Republic, as he was sent away and trained by Narod Antrell's holocron, in order to achieve Knighthood.

April 29 – Darth Hiljo


Darth Hiljo was a powerful Sith Lord and later Commander of the Home Fleet during the Zao tenj War. A keen military tactician and a master strategist, Hiljo was a master of the Force and one of the Order's greatest lightsaber duelists.

Born in the year 218 ABY on an Sith controlled Outer Rim world, Hiljo was, as was customary for all newborns of the empire checked for Force-sensitivity just days after his birth. Upon discovery Hiljo was "requisitioned" by the Sith commander on his homeworld and indoctrinated into the Order. Hiljo spent the first sixteen years of his life as a part of one of the Sith packs, before finally being sent to the most prestigious of the Sith academies, that of Korriban. Hiljo quickly asserted himself in the academy, despite being one of the youngest students there.

Hiljo trained for a further nine years before being taken as an apprentice, although this relationship did not last long as his Master was soon discovered to be breaching the Rule of One and, as was the way of the Sith, Hiljo betrayed his Master to the Sith Council and was subsequently taken as Darth Wyyrlok's apprentice, being granted the title of Sith Lord and Commander of the Home Fleet.

Hiljo served Wyyrlok faithfully and dutifully, becoming the first Sith in over 150 years to combat a Jedi; Jehn Rhin. The two would continue to confront one another intermittently over the years until the outbreak of the Zao tenj War, wherein Hiljo led the Sith advance on the Zao tenj galaxy before being defeated during the Battle of the abyss. Hiljo survived, and was eventually forced to serve alongside Jehn Rhin during the Battle of Hardpoint One, where the two developed a mutual respect for one another.

May 6, 2007 – Darth Faust


Darth Faust, born Epin Lanmaw, was a Human male, born to Sadvo and Lania Lanmaw, 19 BBY on Alderaan, along with his twin sister, Rena.

He spent his days working the Nerf farm with his father. This was the extent of their relationship, as Epin was neglected by his father, who favored his daughter Rena. On the rare occasions he did converse with his father, it usually ended in violence. However, Epin did learn a form of sword fighting called Makashi, by watching his father's movements while he taught Rena.

Although born as a farmer, Epin was never one for outside activities, and as such, didn't have many friends. However, he preferred it this way, solidarity and isolation was, after all, what he was used to. Instead he spent his time training in secret with a holocron he obtained while searching through an abandoned shack at the corner of his family's farm. It was the holocron of Darth Traya, a long deceased Sith Lord. Through her, he was taught of his Force sensitivity and was tutored in the ways of The Force.

He would also spend a fair amount of time fighting in Alderaan's underground fight clubs, particularly the Black Manka, known for it's overly brutal fights and sadistic rules. Another of his favorite activities was spending time with Princess Leia, who had rescued him from a gang known as the "Sons of Alderaan", sometime in 6 BBY. A few years later Epin would return the favor on a fateful night in 3 BBY, when he prevented an assault from one of his fellow fighters.

In his late teens, he would be brought into the service of Emperor Palpatine and his secret order, by Kryon Milan, approximately 2 BBY. After Palpatine's death, the two carried on the Sith teachings. It was during this time that he met the woman who would become his wife, Karana Selria.

May 13, 2007 – Ryan Vex


Count Ryan Vex, erroneously known as Darth Ankeaurho, was a Near-Human Jedi Knight born on Nydest. Traveling into the Core, he joined the Jedi Order and trained under the Kian'thar Jedi Master Areg Oyo.

During his Jedi training, Ryan Vex met Zexus Hanz. Zexus was a fellow Jedi learner and Ryan regarded him as a better student and fighter than him. Ryan became friends with the young Jedi, and the two became Jedi Knights around the same time. He and Zexus were part of the Jedi strike force sent to reclaim the Bpfassh Jedi Academy. The academy had recently been conquered and turned into a Sith stronghold. Though the Jedi succeeded in driving back the Sith forces and retaking the academy, Zexus Hanz was captured by Sith forces.

Ryan traversed the galaxy in search of his lost friend, eventually arriving at Boz Pity. On Boz Pity, Ryan met Darth Spaden, the current Dark Lord of the Sith. After a brief duel between the two Force-sensitives, the Dark Lord emerged the victor. Drawn to the dark side, Ryan became Darth Spaden's apprentice, assisting him in his assaults against the Jedi forces spread throughout the galaxy. Eventually, however, Zack Fayne took notice to these two renegade Sith forces, and he sent forces to intercept and destroy them.

Though Ryan survived the encounter with Zack's Dark Jedi forces, his Master did not. Carrying his body from combat, he attempted to heal his Master with the Force, but his connection with the dark side prevented him from completely utilizing his healing abilities. Renouncing the dark side, he returned to the Jedi Order, though he was refused the right to participate in individual missions.

He participated in a mission to Altyr V with Aclian Hanz, Zexus' father. During that mission, Ryan and Aclian encountered Zexus Hanz, who had fully embraced the dark side and declared himself Darth Ankeaurho. When Aclian refused to strike down his son, he was killed by the young Sith Lord's blade, but he spared Ryan's life. Pursuing the Sith Lord to Dromund Kaas, the two dueled, and Ryan emerged the victor, slaying his former friend inside the Dark Force temple. Zexus' own son, Saexn, tracked down his father's killer and avenged him by slaying Ryan Vex on the Count's homeworld of Nydest.

May 20, 2007 – Xander Vos
Xander Vos was a male Human/Kiffar Jedi Master at the time of 50 ABY. Xander Vos was the Grand-Son of famed Jedi Master Quinlan Vos, and the son of Korto Vos and Lysa Sornfree, a Jedi Knight during the Clone Wars.

Xander Vos had left home at only the age of ten, and had become a Jedi Apprentice at twelve, spending the next seventeen years as a Padawan to Jedi Master Vikro. After an incident at Thespis, Xander was promoted to Jedi Knight, and served the Order well over the next years.

By 50 ABY, Xander had been made Jedi Master, and in 71 ABY he took part in the Darth Dude Conflict, at which many Jedi he had known through his life took part, some being killed, many triumphing against their adversary. His children, Ben, Lysa, Vikro and Tyler also took part, on different worlds, in the end of the Conflict, and he was proud of them to no end.

The final major conflict of his life was the Yuuzhan Vong miniature invasion of the planet Qiilura at which the Jedi and Sith temporary rejoined in an alliance to defeat the powerful new threat. The firebreathers the Yuuzhan Vong brought destroyed much of the planet, but in the end, the Jedi and Sith triumphed.

Xander was killed when the Sith invaded Bakura, and attempted to assassinate Grand Master Abba. He, along with his long time friend, Lyn Korak, died fighting to their last breath against the invaders.

May 27, 2007 – Roviik Antrell


Roviik "Viik" Antrell was a Human Jedi Padawan born at the city of Tillaj, Dantooine, in 7 BBY. Roviik was the son of the Jedi Knights Narod Antrell and Zeri Undis Antrell, and the last known member of the Antrell family. During his early years, Roviik spent most of his time at home and with his mother, while his father was assisting groups such as the KrypTek Insurgence and the Alliance to Restore the Republic fight against the Galactic Empire.

Regardless of his father's status in the Galactic Civil War, Roviik still very family oriented and the main priority of both his parents. He was given small, basic lessons in the Force from time to time, which mirrored Narod's own Jedi training, as a youngling, during his time with the Ascending Jedi Clan. Eventually, Roviik was unintentionally dragged into the Galactic Civil War; Si'va Morrer, an Imperial Inquisitor, injured and kidnapped Roviik and Zeri while Narod was distracted at the Battle of Tillaj, and was taken to Voktunma.

Narod was able to locate his family after Morrer issued a challenge, which led to a duel on Voktunma between Morrer and himself. Throughout the bout, Roviik and Zeri were restrained by chains and neural disruptors, but were freed after Narod was victorious. In the end, the family safely left Voktunma and returned to Dantooine. There, Roviik learned that he would become an explorer with his parents and family friend, Ehma Savoh, due to a decision made by his father. With that, in 0 BBY/ABY, along with his family, Roviik left explored space and traveled into the unknown on board The Drive.

June 3, 2007 – E.C.H.O. Visor
The E.C.H.O. Visor (Electrosignetic Caphsronis Hectron Obenexer), was a high-tech signal visor created by a precise and complex three-fold combination of black market, stolen imperial and rebellion technology. It utilized the absolute peak of technology during its time, which also accounted for its rarity, complicated features, and especially its infamous expense. To ensure that it would never burn out or decrease in effectiveness, the E.C.H.O. visor was energized by two small Artusian crystals located near the visor's left and right temples.

The maintenance of the visor was almost non-existent. The only regular maintenance required was that the two Artusian crystals in the visor’s temples needed semi-regular activation, in order to keep the crystals active and functioning. If the crystals are not powered up at least once every 40 days, the crystals would steadily deteriorate.

Contrary to what most in the Rebellion believed, the Rebel Alliance splinter faction called RAIF (Rebel Alliance Intelligence Faction) was, in fact, behind the visor’s creation. The technology was acquired almost completely by theft, or assassinations, and even hired some foreign scientist of another manufacturer. Due the organization's secrecy, the "publicly accepted" way the Rebel Alliance received the technologies was by using a sort infiltrator droids to simply copy the schematics from the Galactic Empire, and an unknown criminal entity.

June 10, 2007 – Saber Throw-off


Saber Throw-off was a game played mostly by Jedi and Sith. It was usually played with two players both using training lightsabers, although highly skilled Force-sensitives occasionally played with real lightsabers. The two players would each be armed with a saber, and would throw them at each other. The players had to stay a minimum of 10 feet away from each other. They were not allowed to block their opponent's saber with their own saber. Instead, they had to dodge them.

The game became very popular over the years and eventually professional leagues were introduced. Once these leagues formed, some Jedi left the Jedi Order to play in these professional leagues. Leagues included the Galactic Saber Throw-off League (GSTL) and the Realistic Saber Throw-off League (RSTL).

Saber Throw-off was played under many different rules, and therefore the objective was not always the same. There were three "main" ways to play the game. There was the basic game, which was most commonly used, the realistic game which attempted to employ the most realistic rules, and the infinite game, where all matches were decided by decision.

June 24, 2007 – Jack Nebulax
Jack Nebulax was a Fleet Admiral in the Imperial Navy who would eventually promote himself to Grand Admiral and become Emperor of his own empire.

Throughout his life, Nebulax would serve in the Republic and Imperial Navies, in some points rising rapidly through the ranks. It is known that at a few points in his Imperial career, he attracted the attention of Emperor Palpatine for his outstanding performance at battles.

Unknown to everyone but himself and a small amount of others, Nebulax was Force-sensitive, but not enough to attract the attention of the Jedi Order. Nonetheless, Nebulax knew from a young age he would become a naval commander, and even after finding out about his Force-sensitivity, he did not dream of becoming a Jedi as most others would have.

The highlight of Nebulax's career came after the Battle of Endor when he set up the Nebulax Empire on Had Abbadon with himself as leader. Nebulax would serve as Emperor far into the Legacy and Unity eras.

July 1, 2007 – Swerto Dragonouve
Swerto Dragonouve was a human male that was born a year into the Clone Wars under the parentage of a mercenary that fought with the 501st, Swerto (I) and an ex-Jedi Mira Dragonouve. Swerto grew up on his own on Tatooine after his mother died when he was eight and before his father found him at fourteen. Swerto was part of the young stormtroopers and found himself in military service quickly. Swerto was stationed aboard the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin at which he grabbed a TIE fighter and began fighting in the space battle.

Swerto flew his way to Yavin IV just as the Death Star was destroyed which pushed him there faster than the rebel ships behind him. He crashed on Yavin and fought in that battle. Swerto was promoted and soon demoted and placed on leave on Tatooine once again. There he joined TIS and made his way back to Colonel and later resigned due to personal differences with a new member. Swerto joined ODS after being in a Rebel prison camp for months. Swerto made his way back and joined ODS under an old friends advice.

Swerto resigned from ODS after the Battle of Restuss and soon went to the Rebellion to spy. After his spying was finished Swerto returned to the Empire and fought at the Battle of Hoth, being one of the first to march into Echo Base. He also fought at the Battle of Endor a year later where he was shot down and stranded on Endor for a year. After returning to the Empire for a few years Swerto secretly joined the Dark Shadow Sith and destroyed it from the inside taking it as his own and forming the Dark Order with Kenya as his apprentice. Years later Swerto proposed to Kenya during a war with the Light Order temporarily ending it as the fought against Neal and his Chaos Order together. Swerto and Kenya married becoming co-leaders of the Dark Order.

July 8, 2007 – Ussej Padric Bac II
Ussej Padric Bac II was born to a long line of legendary war heroes, politicians, Jedi Knights and Sith Lords. His ancestor, Jonathan Bac, was the first Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. His grandfather and great-grandfather were both Senators of Alderaan. His parents were Laili Jeyna Rendar, the sister of his uncle Kit Corwin Rendar, and Saint Ussej Padric Bac who went on to become the Shaman of the Whills. His mother and uncle originated from Corellia. His wife, Bara ErMez, would eventually give birth to a son named Ussej Padric Bac III, a legendary Bendu High Priest that brought about the Holy War during The Great Sovereign Crusades.

The second Bac to bear the name “Ussej Padric”, he fought in the final battle of the Great Rim Lines War on Dxun where he met a young Republic Colonel named Cos Jonathan Dashin who would later go on to be one of the most instrumental Supreme Chancellor’s in galactic history.

After he died on Dxun, the newly elected High Priest Neil Rendar analyzed the Jedi Bendu Prophecies and realized that Ussej was one of the Prophets of the Whills spoken of in the Prophecy of The Nine Prophets. His mistakes during his life helped to bring about an age of awakening for the Bendu Order. During this time, not only were there changes in appearance to a more formal and monk-like style, but also a change in the way that the Order viewed itself. The three men of the Bac Family helped them to realize what happens when pride gets the best of people, including those held in such high regard.

July 15, 2007 – Steel Legion
The Steel Legion, often known simply as the Legion, was an extremely powerful criminal organisation, based on Nar Shadda and later Dac, ruled by the old CIS battle droid Unit 8311, during the times of the Empire and beyond. At it's height, it had influence and presence on countless worlds in every sector in the galaxy, and was feared by many.

It dealt with many criminal activites, from piracy to major theft to drug running. Over time, it gained a reputation for its large galaxy-wide activities, which provided it with a near-constant source of income. With these large amounts of funds, it gained large military forces, augmented by various technologies, some of which were exclusive to the Legion. Unlike other criminal organisations, the Legion was not afraid to attack the Empire and other governments in its quest for profit.

The Legion, despite being broken up shortly before the Battle of Yavin, would later be reformed. Throughout its history, it remained a highly powerful body, rivalled only by Black Sun and the Hutt Cartel. After the Yuuzhan Vong War, it would become the most powerful criminal syndicate in the galaxy due to the elimination of its main rivals. It would go on to survive into the Legacy era.

July 29, 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.

Though he was an angry individual, Malik was quite attached to his sister,and it was this bond that drove a great deal of his anger. Seeing her in any kind of pain, set him over the edge, as he would violently attack anyone who harmed her. Perhaps the best example of this would be when Malik murdered his father in defense of his sister.

Fate would give Malik the chance he was waiting 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. Perhaps even more disturbing, the more power he used, the less others would be able to distinguish between each. The normal, if he could be considered as such, or the darker, more sadistic persoanlity that surfaced whenever that power was harnessed.

Fate, however, would conspire against him, as he would eventually be forced into a confrontation with his beloved sister. A violent encounter that saw no winner, and ended with the disappearance of the two.

August 5, 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.

August 12, 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 "daddy's 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, for the constant abuse...

Her wish would eventually come true, when her father would attempt to murder her, and her brother. When she was in danger, Malik came to her rescue and killed their father in defense of her.

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 gave in to her dark side when she brutally tortured, and killed her ex-boyfriend, Tiro. Proving that she was more than just a pretty face.

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

August 19, 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 Voktunma, to challenge Narod to one last duel. After Si'va lost the final duel, he let go of his hate for his nemesis, and after being left alone, Si'va killed himself under the shame of ultimate defeat.

August 26, 2007 – Merc Gev, Sr.
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 Galactic Alliance, 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.

Merc Gev was known to be a powerful and unrivaled Mandalorian, and as one of the greatest legends to ever live. He even rivaled the popularity and inspired as much fear as Boba Fett once had. Most importantly, Gev was fiercely loyal to his family, and most of those he affiliated himself with knew that his family always came first.

September 2, 2007 – Order of the Whills


The Order of the Whills was an order of beings in the pocket dimension of Ashlan Four tasked with recording the history of the galaxy in a document called the Journal of the Whills. This historical documentation, along with the foundation of the Order, was seen in the visions of a holy man, who transcribed his findings in the Prophecy of the Whills. The holy man’s prophecy was proven true when, as he foresaw, the Great Order, led by Matthew of Skywalker, brought the Whill species from their homeworld of Brodo Asogi to Ashlan Four and founded the Order of the Whills.

After the Order’s formation, the Whills began to view the history of the galaxy using the time stream, a body of water that contained moving images of the universe’s history. The Whills were unable to use this to its fullest extent, however, until the arrival of their shaman, Ussej Padric Bac. This was because the shaman was the only being capable of taking part in the historical events. The Whills and the shaman continued to record the history of the galaxy at least until the formation of the New Republic, the galactic government that came to power after the fall of the Galactic Empire.

September 9, 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 50,000 BBY. The use of Shikkri 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 Purebloods are known to use this language, and then only with each other.

Shikkri is typically very flowing and easy to say quickly, with very few 'harsh' sounds. This is a kind of anomaly, considering a Shapeshifter's vocal cords and general oral and jaw construction, but it is likely that they borrowed vocal cords and skull structures from other creatures of their planet. From evidence in the language construction and phonetics, it is likely that they copied a kind of songbird's vocal capabilities. Shikkri is a phonetic language, and is fairly wide in the amount of races who can accurately pronounce it, though this was probably unintentional. Written Shikkri was at first composed of hard, straight lines due to their limitations because of their claws, but this changed when they discovered opposable thumbs. Their appreciation for aesthetic beauty led them to greatly stylize Shikkri into the curving, flowing letters it is written in modern Shikkri. This also continued the trend in making their language sound musical, and easy to incorporate into music.

September 16, 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. The battle itself ended in a catastrophic loss on all sides, with the armies of the Jedi, Sith, and the enigmatic Army of Darkness all completely decimated.

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 in the political spectrum, 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, led by an extragalactic warlord would lead the largest battle of their time.

September 23, 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 30, 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.

October 7, 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&mdash;a shadow war launched to conquer strategic space and planets around known space, and the Sovereignty Campaign&mdash;a massive war that was divided the galaxy between the unknown regions and known space.

October 14, 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.

October 21, 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.

October 28, 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.

November 4, 2007 – Battle of Bestine IV
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 11, 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.

Hasti was the first, last, and only leader and creator of the Verpine army. He captured countless planets during his life. During the Clone Wars, he helped capture Jabiim, Kamino, Felucia, and Nickel One. While in command of the Verpine army, he captured Duniir, Nickel One, Mygeeto, and Murkhana. His generals looked up to him when in command. Other than being in control of the Verpine army, during the Clone Wars, he lead the 38th Armored Division along with Commander Ryan.

November 18, 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 25, 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.

Darth Krayt was a former Jedi Knight during the and later a Learner, Sith Knight, Sith Lord and a Dark Lord of the Decreton Empire during, and following the Successors War. Born A'Sharad Hett, Hett was a promising Jedi throughout the waning days of the Old Republic. Following the Krayt took to founding his own Sith Order, and settled upon Korriban as his headquarters.

During the Krayt's Sith harassed the forces of both sides before, during and after Krayt's capture by the Yuuzhan Vong warrior. Krayt's escape, and the eventual defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong left the Sith on Korriban free to interfere with the lives of those in the galaxy, particularly during the, as part of his alliance with. Following the conflict Krayt's Order was absorbed into the Sith Order of Decreto, and Krayt trained under the tutelage of two Decreton Sith Masters, the second being Darth Debello.

Following his overthrow of his Master in 126 ABY, Krayt slowly reclaimed all the Sith territories lost to the usurper, Darth Proditor and, within three years had become Emperor, and head of the Sith Council. 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.

December 9, 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.

December 16, 2007 – Battle of Almania
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 23, 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 30, 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 to escape.
