The following articles have been featured on the Main Page for their excellence in creativity and writing.

June 2, 2006 – Krion
Krion, also known as the Force Center Point, was a planet directly in the center of the Galaxy. Cloaked by strong force energies for millenia, it was the birthplace of Mal-Trido and Darth Zyre. It was also the site of the last battle in the Revival Wars, the Battle of Krion. Krion's north pole is the largest concentration of force energies, an infinite force storm mainly refered to as the Force Nexus. It was large enough to be seen from space but small enough not to cause any damage unless you were right next to it. If you were anywhere inside it however, it was completely harmless. Mal-Trido was born inside these force energies, making him incredibly powerful. However, he did not learn he was born on Krion, nor did his parents, until he went there in 37 ABY. Krion had no life on it but it was thought that before Darth Zyre was born, there was life on Krion and when Zyre was born, he killed whatever other life was on the planet.

June 15, 2006 – Di'e Go Am'er'ez
Jedi Master Di'e Go Am'er'ez was a Jedi warrior and general in the Clone Wars who managed to survive Order 66. Born on the Inner Rim world of Obroa-skai to Human slaves, he was found by the Dark Woman to be a very gifted child with an abundance in the force. Taken to the Jedi temple in 62 BBY, he trained under Yoda as a youngling. He showed considerable talent in many forms of lightsaber combat, and later incorperated elements of these forms into his own form, Sha'do Mediin.

June 22, 2006 – Scafa IX
The ecumenopolis of Scafa IX, more simply and commonly known as Scafa and also known as the Coruscant of the Outer Rim was the most populated world in the Outer Rim. It surpassed Nar Shaddaa after its devastation by the Yuuzhan Vong, as well as Eriadu in 69 ABY, when Imperial terrorists working for the Imperial Terrorist Alliance blew up a large section of Eriadu during the Bombing of Eriadu. Scafa primarily looks like Coruscant, due to the fact that the ecumenopolis designers wished for it to look like Coruscant. The world also challenged planet Ixtlar, as a being could find practically everything there is to buy on the planet.

Scafa had a long, rich history, filled with war, peace, devastation, and life. Scafa had birthed great people, such as the many members of the Imburiav Clan, and many others.

The planet has been the site of major Galactic events, such as the Dark Wars, the Restoration War and others, and was a major player in Galactic events, until it was mostly destroyed by the Reavers in the Battle of Scafa IX.

July 1, 2006 – Darth Abeonis
Darth Abeonis was a legendary Dark Lord of the Decreton Empire, Dark Lord of the Sith, Sith Knight and Sith Lord during the Legacy era.

Born Jasca Ducato in the year 6 ABY; on Taris, Jasca was alive several years after the Purge of the Jedi. Part of a moderately wealthy family and so received a fairly good education but with his world being heavily taxed and ravaged by the Empire he was born into a family sympathetic to the Rebel Alliance.

Following the defeat of the Imperial Remnant he joined the Jedi Order and became an influential figure, serving through-out many conflicts including the Yuuzhan Vong War. But in the years following the Alliance victory over the Yuuzhan Vong Ducato fell to the dark side of the Force and took up the mantle of Darth Abeonis. He was later redeemed, but fell once again years later.

Coming to the realization that the galaxy was facing a threat far greater than anything previously encountered, Abeonis decided to wage war against the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi in order to strengthen the galaxy, whether it be a Jedi, or Sith controlled galaxy.

Due to his exploits through the galaxy, he was even given the prestigious title of Tiorsiabeo, meaning The Honored Sith Warrior, Abeonis, by the people of Vania.

July 9, 2006 – Nathaniel Kenobi
Nathaniel Kenobi, or as he was more commonly known as Nathaniel Kenobi Clan Fett, was a former Jedi Knight and General for the Old Republic. He was a survivor of The Jedi Purge. He was also the husband of Abigaile Jade and the father of Abigaile Kenobi.

Taken away from his parents at an early age, just like every other Jedi before him, Nathan was given training under the maverick Jedi Knight Huk'le, a student of another maverick Jedi, Plett. During his childhood, he began early friendships with Anakin Skywalker and. The Clone Wars soon happened, and during them, Nathan found the path to the way he would view the Force for the remainder of his life.

Seeking to grant him the title of Jedi Knight, the Council arranged for him to conduct the Republic forces involved with the Vandal Wars. After showing off his prowess and skills, he was given the title of Jedi Knight, although it cost him his Master and his beliefs. Finding like-minded individuals like himself, he began to seek other ways to learn how to use the Force. Unfortunately, Order 66 prevented that.

The fall of the Jedi forced Nathan to flee with his two new apprentices&mdash;Ada Fey'lya and Udo Karr&mdash;and eventually, he was able to save many Jedi from extermination and slavery. His new vagabond life led him to Kamino, where he met the love of his life: Abigaile Jade. Saving the Kaminoans and finding them a new home, Nathan sought to destroy the Sith.

After his wife died during his reckless attempts to kill Vader and Palpatine, Nathan lived the next part of his life in a state of self-exile. Eventually, Nathan died of natural causes, and his legacy was left in the form of his daughter.

July 16, 2006 – Battle of Leziquk


The Battle of Leziquk was a very violent battle in the Clone Wars. Even with the help of the 233rd Line Regiment and the 52nd Republic Fighter Wing, Republic defenses were quickly overrun. Only about 1/90 of the Republic forces retreated. It also saw some of the most diverse usage of vehicles and droids in the War.

The planet Leziquk was home to a large stockpile of resources and a Republic research base, in which a counter-agent for Trihexalophine1138 was in developement. The Grand Army discreetly sent a small division (4608 soldiers) of the 15th Defense Corps there to defend their project. No planetary shield or orbital naval support was erected, but the CIS soon learned of the world's value and prepared to attack.

The Confederate fleet came out of hyperspace just before reinforcements from the Republic Navy arrived. Before engaging with most of the Star Destroyers, the CIS managed to get most of their transports to the atmosphere.

The tactically best landing zone was decided to be an area several kilometers offshore from the continent containing the Republic base. Leziquk was approximately 76% ocean, but the media's images and description accidentally misled many into believing the planet only had about as much land as Kamino or Manaan.

July 23, 2006 – Fourso Taa


Fourso Taa was born in 51 BBY on Geonosis. By the time of 48 BBY a small meteor impacted on the small colony of Geonosians. A Geonosian warrior named Taleek Kaun rescued him and took him to a cave. For the next 10 years he trained under the warrior. He learned how to fight on a battlefield and learned many strategies from the man. Fourso’s adopted father fell ill in 34 BBY and soon died. Fourso grieved for his father’s death but set out on an exploration.

In his exploits he wandered upon an abandoned spire and inhabited it. In 30 BBY a enormous rumbling awoke Fourso. He grabbed his axe and peeked outside. A gargantuan rancor towered at least 13 meters tall. Fourso leapt back just before it noticed him. It was attacking his spire for some reason; perhaps it had already smelled him. “Wait. Why is there a rancor on Geonosis?” he thought. “More so, how could he escape it?” He panicked and grabbed his sonic rifle. He ran out blasting it continuously. It seemed to hardly notice. It looked at him for a few moments, and then lunged. He couldn’t stop the massive claw from clutching him. He was lifted high into the air. He struggled for freedom fruitlessly. It was no use. He was pulled to its mouth.

Fourso was tossed into its mouth like a snack. He pulled out his axe and dug it into the beast’s insides “If I’m going down, you are too!” he screamed as he hacked and slashed. It roared and fell to its knees. Blood spilled onto Fourso. He leapt into flight up its esophagus. It collapsed into the spire, leveling it. Through the smoke and rubble flew an near-dead Fourso. Once he had flown out of the smoke he collapsed.

He regained his strength and reemerged into Geonosian civilization. He soon became a captain the military. By the time of 24 BBY the Geonosians joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

July 31, 2006 – Kirid Ground Forces
The Kirid Ground Forces (commonly abbreviated as KGF) is the primary division of the Kirid Grand Army, alongside the airborne forces and the naval forces. It was formed in 624 BBY, after the First War for Kiridak. It is the nation of Kiridak's main infantry and armoured warfare organisation, but also contains a small number of airborne elements. As of the Third War for Kiridak in 146 BBY, the entire KGF consisted of approximately 480,000 troops with 52,600 in reserve.

August 6, 2006 – IG-13
IG-13 was started on a short time before the IG-88 droid was started. At first the droid performed better than expectations, although that was not to last. The droid was continually in the wrong place at the wrong time, and after many malfunctions and breakdowns the droid found itself in the scrap heap. The droid, with his weapons all removed, escaped its destruction from the furnace. With nowhere to go and no friends to speak of, the droid stole a ship and began to explore the galaxy. It did small favors for many small businesses but demanded a high amount of secrecy and credits, the main reason why he was unknown to most of the galaxy.

IG-13 made many changes to his structural form, adding many new weapons into his hardware. He even built and old lightsaber into his right arm, because of his increased reflexes the droid could even block a small amount of blaster fire with it. With his new hardware he began to steal and buy weapons from across the galaxy. Eventually having built up a weapons supply of a small planet, IG-13 began recruiting droids to become part of an organization of droids. The droids would do any work as long as the client paid handsomly.

August 20, 2006 – Dustin Fayne


Dustin Fayne was born on Doluc Prime in 45 BBY to the Dolucians Zerray and Silf Fayne. When his homeplanet was destroyed by criminal overlords, he was taken in as a member of the gang. Growing up to be a respected (and feared) killer, he gained his famous assassin-based alias the Cerberus' Fang. However, he was betrayed by the Black Sun and was forced to join the Old Jedi Order in its remaining years, only to see it crumble. After surviving Order 66, he became a wanted Imperial fugitive, though he eventually discreetly joined the Empire.

After returning to the side of of the Jedi, he joined Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order, and remained allied with them throughout the next forty years; though he occasionally left to fulfill his own agenda. He left the New Order for good to form the Confederation Knights during the Second Corellian Crisis. After the war, he allied himself with the New Order, but wasn't an official member and still held his doubts about its leaders.

When the Sith Order of Decreto rose to power, he temporarily joined their ranks. This act would see his permanent separation from the New Jedi Order. He eventually abandoned the known Galaxy to its fate, and died in the Unknown Regions shortly before the end of the Zao tenj War.

August 28, 2006 – Qui-Gon Jinn


Qui-Gon Jinn, in the widely-known fan-made WK207 alternate universe, lived the same life he did, until Tahl's death. When Tahl's death struck, however, he became someone completely different. As in the main universe, Qui-Gon becomes dangerously close to turning to the Dark Side. In this universe, he actually did. For information on Qui-Gon Jinn's past, read Qui-Gon Jinn until the third paragraph of "Forbidden Love".

When Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan finally found Balog, he had already drugged Tahl. The Jedi managed to rescue her, but despite Qui-Gon’s attempts to heal her through the Force, Tahl passed away.

The death of Tahl drove Qui-Gon into a terrible state of depression and a rise in strong dark side emotions. He blamed himself for Tahl's death and even recalled his past failure with Xanatos. He swore revenge on Balog and made it his top priority to track him down. Obi-Wan, who was worried about his master, tried to assure him that there was no thing that he could have done to save her, but Qui-Gon wouldn’t hear it. Blinded by the fate of his former-apprentice, as well as the death of his closest friend, Qui-Gon set out to murder the foe. Although he had learned from his mistake with Xanatos, his misery brought him even closer to the dark side.

September 5, 2006 – Nathaniel Kenobi Solo


Nathaniel Kenobi Solo or as he was less commonly known as, Nathaniel Kenobi Solo Clan Fett, was a male Human/Zeltron Jedi. His mother was Abigaile Kenobi and his father's name was Nat-ahn Mandrex, a Clawdite Dark Jedi. His mother did not know of a father, because he had seduced her and used a special plant to make her forget everything.

After the death of his mother on Jomark, Nathan was adopted into the House of Solo. There, he met his future wife, Jaina Solo, and grew in his knowledge of the Force and everyday experiences. After joining the Jedi Academy at the age of eight, he was given his grandfather's holocron, which would later tell him during the Yuuzhan Vong War the mysteries of his past and of the people he was ordained to save.

After finding and killing his father, who had been the threat he was supposed to remove, he became an honorary member of the Novus Kamino Prime Jedi Knights. Through the help of the Ottiumigos Centrality, he was able to save the Galactic Alliance from losing the last battle of the Yuuzhan Vong War and married Jaina. Over the next couple of years, he had children and began to help the Jedi Order police the Galaxy.

After the introduction of the Sith Order of Decreto, Nathan's life as a family man was almost torn asunder when his wife died. Despondent, he went to his honorary home of Novus Kamino Prime and remained there until the war came back to haunt him. Banding together with survivors just like him, he helped to form the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People and the Galactic Commonwealth.

Unfortunately, the Sith would eventually make Nathan lose his life, or so it seemed. Thanks to the help of loyal allies, Nathan was placed into cryostasis, to remain there until he was needed again by the Galaxy. Although he sporadically came out to help several different problems, Nathan remained in cryostasis until the Reaver War.

Helping to lead the Jedi to a temporary victory, he was able to save the remnants of the Fifth Republic, find new love, and protect his descendants. Unfortunately, Nathan died as a result of leading Sith Lord Darth Aemulus back to the light. But even in death, Nathan was useful, helping to lead his family to a brighter tomorrow.

September 24, 2006 – Zack Fayne


Zack Fayne was a Dolucian born to Anjon and Silf Alkir-Fayne. He and his sister, Alinia Fayne, were taken in for Jedi training early in their lives. Trained and raised by the Jedi, he was always surrounded by beings clothed in the Light side of the Force.

However, upon the death of his master, Jyubara Uzuma, he fell to the Dark side and became the feared Darth Atravir. Taking control of his father's company, he created a technological terror known as the Doombringer. He came close to destroying Coruscant and would've succeeded, if his conscience hadn't kicked in and he stopped the machine and destroyed it completely.

After rising again as the Dark Lord, he summoned the ancient Sith beast known as the DRACOSTORM, which he almost unleashed upon the Galaxy. However, multiple visions and dreams, as well as visits from Force ghosts, caused him to change his ways permanently and destroy the DRACOSTORM in exchange for his life.

However, he was revived near the end of the Infinbelum Era through the New Sith Revival Project. Reborn as Redempto Runus, he redeemed himself in the eyes of the Jedi, and he was able to return to the Jedi Order as a Jedi Knight, fighting alongside them in the Reaver War. He died near the end of the war defending what he held dear.

October 8, 2006 – Jack Phoenix


Jack Phoenix was a former CTU Coruscant agent and its former director. During the Clone Wars, he caused a lot of trouble to CTU, Division Command and even to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. One reason why he wasn't caught by the authorities of Coruscant was that he had friends in high places, all willing to help him if he needed help. He also had several powerful enemies, such as Clone Commander Veridovich, Anakin Skywalker and Iceheart.

He managed to survive Order 65, and this made him the number one target on Vader's blacklist. Vader hunted him down, and almost killed him in 9 BBY. However, unknown to Joseph Auda and Vader, Jack survived. After Auda and Vader had both left planet Geonosis, Jack left it too. Later on, he founded the Order of the Phoenix, an organization designed to train new Jedi Knights.

Because of two spies inside the Order, it's location was soon revealed to Darth Vader, who had wanted to capture Jack Phoenix for a long time since he escaped Vader's grip on Geonosis. The Order's best swordsmen, trained by Jack himself, were mostly killed by Vader on 3 ABY, and after this, Vader had Jack Phoenix imprisoned and brought onboard his Star Destroyer, the Executor.

In 4 ABY, exactly one year after his imprisonment, he was poisoned by a spy onboard the Executer. When he was taken to the medical clinic, he had a change to escape, and so he did, escaping to the Forest Moon of Endor, where he would later meet his brother.

He was only 5 months old at the time so the Jedi took him to the academy on Kashyyk to train him and deny that they killed his parents. 20 years later he was already a Jedi Master.

When he returned from an assignment on Malachor V, he was fully immersed in the Dark Side. He struck down his former master, a Bothan named Ksathor Jungruth with ease and then led a Dark Jedi revolt against the Jedi with his friends: Darth Faule and Darth Veluss.

Form DCLXVI: Atra-Manua or the Way of the Black Hand, the Art of the Black Hand (simply known as Atra to its practioners) was the primary lightsaber form for the Hand during the Successors War.

Although originally an experimental form created by the Jedi Knight, Jasca Ducato, Atra-Manua was instantly recognised as one of the hardest forms to master. Following Jasca's fall to the dark side, the new Darth Abeonis decided that he would not teach the form to his followers so that they could not challenge him in a duel effectively.

November 5, 2006 – Darth Nihilus


Darth Nihilus was a Sith Lord and the first of Wyyrlok's "Hands" and the commander of the Sith Order of Decreto's forces on Korriban and its nearby systems. A close "friend" of Darth Raith, the two were barely seen apart, let alone out of contact with one another.

A Korribanite, Nihilus was taken into the Sith fold early on, quickly showing his tenacity for combat and strategy. By the time of the Zao tenj War he was one of the most powerful Sith of his age and a force to be reckoned with.

Although his exact age is unknown, it is known that a figure matching Nihilus' description had inconsistently appeared and disappeared through-out the years; giving assistance to both the Jedi and the Sith.

Alu-mann miraculously escaped the Dark Jedi, then left the planet, and began to work in the Republic. He swore revenge on each one of the seven Dark Jedi that destroyed his home and his family.

November 20, 2006 – Hapan Dragon Speeder


The Hapan Dragon Speeder, or Dragon Speeder for short, was a popular craft that used a powerful reactor. The speeder was popular among civilians as a hunting/joyriding craft, and bought by numerous police and military organizations for its speed and fighting capability. Numerous dragon speeders were integrated into the New Republic Grand Fleet, and saw much action in the Second Clone War and the Next Sith War. The craft was easily modified and was sometimes equipped with flachette missiles instead of laser cannons.

Though wider, heavier, and less aerodynamic than most vehicles of its size, the Dragon Speeder became the primary land-based reconnaissance vehicle for the Hapans in particular and several New Republic fleets. It lead to be considered a new class of vehicle, between a speeder bike and a landspeeder, though capable of higher altitudes than either. Some considered the Dragon Speeder to be a counterpart to the Hutt Battle Rover, which was used in similar ways, though the Dragon Speeder's repulsorlift made it tactically superior to the cheap Hutt-produced vehicle, which depended on wheels for movement.

The Dragon Speeders weren't cheap, but they were enough for civilians to purchase when there was a need for the vehicle. The speeder's price was much lower on the homeworld of Hapes, where the large surplus and the lack of interstellar transport made the military craft desirable for the Hapan Royal Security forces. Hence, while there were millions of Dragon Speeders used for reconnaissance and elite hit-and-run missions in combat throughout the Galaxy during the Second Clone War and the Next Sith War, nearly a majority of Dragon Speeders were in service on Hapes. The surplus of these vehicles was one of the factors that led the Hapans to win the Battle of Reef Fortress and the Battle of Queen's Palace.

December 16, 2006 – Sith Crusade
The Sith Crusade was a devestating galaxy wide conflict between the New Jedi Order, the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances and their allies; and the Sith Order of Decreto and the Mando'ade Alliance that took place during the late 50's, early 60's ABY.

The decade long war that began in 56 ABY would see the total destruction of the Galactic Alliance, the decimation of the Jedi Order at Ossus and the civil strife that constantly plagued the Sith throughout their history.

The Seperatists were destroyed, and Karaane had missed his chance to avenge his father's death. He heard rumors of remnent rebel forces, but it wouldn't be the same. After another three years, Karaane could hold in his blood-lust no more. The Rebels had occupied Ralltiir, and he could take out his rage on them. He decided to work for the Empire-but indirectly. He would be like the great Boba Fett. A bounty hunter. A mercenary. He would do whatever the Empire asked of him, if it fit his morals. Karaane left Ralltiir for his new life, leaving his mother behind. He never heard from him again.

January 17, 2007 – Battle of Maryl

He, along with his family and friend, Ehma Savoh, traveled deep into the Unknown Regions, where he found the planet O'Tayum and took on his first official apprentice, Voh'deh'mo. The two ended up fighting against one another in the Great War of O'Tayum, which Narod managed to win by leading the Jedi Army to victory. Narod would later help unite the entire region under the banner of the Republic of P'ur, by traveling from system to system. In 7 ABY, Narod and his crew were stranded on Vuur, and after a conflict with Darth Baas, he ended up in the midst of the battle that would end his life, at the hands of the one known as Mandalore the Vanquisher. However, Narod lived on through a holocron he created over a decade prior, which was used to train Roviik in the ways of the Jedi to stop the Mandalorians of A'den and save the P'urikan Republic. Narod was ultimately be responsible for the redemption of his son in 21 ABY, once again saving the Republic he helped forge.

Narod possessed many talents and traits, which served him well during his life span. Narod's strongest point was his dueling ability, which was unmatched by anyone he ever faced. Narod's techniques were unique and unprecedented, especially after Narod created the lightsaber form known as Desnium. Narod was also known for his great leadership, compassion, and willingness to succeed throughout his life. Narod pushed for success as he led the KrypTek Insurgence, the Jedi Army and the Republic of P'ur. Narod was honored all throughout his life, even beyond his death. He also had a few nicknames, one of which came from the shadow affiliation he joined, known as the Skadukliek, where he was referred to as the Vij'nata'para, which meant the holder of supreme knowledge. In the end of it all, Narod had a major influence on all those he ever came across.

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, 2007 – Bendu Order
The Bendu Order was an ancient and noble monastic peacekeeping organization in the Ashlan Expanse that was one of two great orders that emerged during a schism within the Jedi Bendu Order 15,000 years before the Battle of Yavin IV. The Bendu Order was unified through its belief in the God Yahweh and his omnipotent presence, known as the Force of Others. Wielders of this mystic energy and signature long swords, the Bendu Knights were revered as guardians of an everlasting peace in the Ashlan worlds.

The Bendu rarely left their home planet of Kal'Shabbol to fight, but there were three major instances when they did. Under the leadership of Ussej Padric Bac and Ussej Padric Bac II, the order quelled a tyranny on Had Abaddon, fought in the Great Sovereign Crusades under the leadership of Ussej Padric Bac III and helped destroy the Galactic Empire and the Sith Order under the leadership of Ussej Padric Bac LXIV.

A very 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 Jedi Bendu Order. Many of their own people, such as Ussej Padric Bac, Ussej Padric Bac II and Ussej Padric Bac III, fulfilled a group of these prophecies while many others were fulfilled by Jedi Knights and Jedi Bendu Knights after the reunification of the orders.

March 4, 2007 – Sith Order of Decreto
The Sith Order of Decreto, also known more commonly as the Decreton Empire was an ancient and powerful faction of the Sith Empire. Designed to be the shadow force 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 Battle of Primus Goluud, in which the Sith warship Devastator&mdash; flagship of the Order of Decreto&mdash; was destroyed, drastically thinning their ranks.

They later went on to rebuild their forces and conquer the galaxy under the command of the Dark Lord Darth Abeonis, and would rule it for almost two-hundred and fifty years before they were eventually forced to withdraw.

By the year 1,400 ABY the Sith Order of Decreto had pretty much retreated within it's borders, having been severely weakened by almost two hundred years of continuous warfare (56 &mdash; 246 ABY); but it still remained a power to be reckoned with, depsite taking no part in the Restoration War.

The Sith Order continued to grow in power and strength, once again remaining hidden from the galaxy. But, with the close of the Second Galactic Civil War and the total collapse of the galaxy's infarstructure the Sith Order of Decreto beleived the time had finally come to make their return.

March 11, 2007 – Alpha-Ø4
Alpha-Ø4, also known as Gulo was an Alpha-class Advanced Recon Commando who fought during the Clone Wars.

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 and would likely have been one of the Empire's elite had he not abandoned his post shortly after the instating of Order 66.

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.

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".

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, 2007 – Hei-Ri Devon

Devon was born in Naboo, in the capital city of Theed. Born in a rich family of Senators, Devon had everything a young boy could ever dream of. But, unfortunately, destiny turned its tide against him...

April 1, 2007 – Dark Guardians of Lettow
The Dark Guardians of Lettow were a group created by the self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness Carden Mannux that worshiped the Dark Side of the Force and, in time, was bent on aiding the Sith Empire in destroying the Jedi Order. They were galactically renowned for their brutal discipline and lust for power in their upper ranks, along with the unholy methods they used to attain it.

During the early days of the faction, the Lettow simply worshiped the Dark Side of the Force, getting ready to unleash their fury when they were called upon to do so. They were rediscovered by a Dark Lord of the Sith during the Millennium of Hiding and served the two Sith Lords for nearly eight hundred years.

The Lettow were instrumental in many battles during the Galactic Civil War, most notably the First Battle of Alderaan, the Battle of Endor, the Sieges of Naboo and the First Battle of Coruscant. However, during the First Battle of Coruscant, all but two Dark Guardians were destroyed, thus wiping out almost four thousand years of hard work and determination on the part of Carden Mannux, Damien Starkiller and many others.

April 8, 2007 – Reven
Duke Simeon Alkir, or his aliases Commander Reven, Lord Reven, or Grand Emperor Reven (81 BBY-31 BBY), was a Korun (Human) born on the world of Haruun Kal in 81 BBY to Lance and Serri Alkir. Raised by the Jedi, he was corrupted to by the Dark side during his time as a Jedi Knight. After his fall to the Dark side, he became Reven, though he didn't necessarily claim the title of Darth.

He hoped to rule the Outer Rim through his vast tactical knowledge, mass amount of troops, and great charisma that persuaded many systems to his side. Combined with the powers of the Force, these qualities and gifts made him a powerful foe to be reckoned with.

Reven then established an Outer Rim empire, known as the Regalak Empire. Based on the Outer Rim moon of Regalon V, his Empire continued to expand and Reven eventually became a threat to the Galactic Republic itself. He attempted to overthrow the Republic, and made his way to the Galactic capital of Coruscant. He most likely would've been victorious if he wasn't defeated at the hands of his officer, Luto Garr, who betrayed him in his quest for power. Upon his death, Reven's empire collapsed, and the Republic healed itself in preparation for their next war.

April 15, 2007 – Ussej Padric Bac III
Ussej Padric Bac III was born on Aquilae to Ussej Padric Bac II and Tesiana Al-Dubrir during the Ashlan Civil War, making him a part of a long line of legendary war heroes, politicians, tyrants, Jedi Knights, Sith Lords 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 first born 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 one of the main catalysts in bringing about a disastrous holy war that exiled the Jedi Order and inadvertently brought the Third Sith Empire to power once again and nearly annihilated the Galactic Republic in the process.

During the war, Ussej was one of the players in a major trinity of the three most unlikely individuals. Falling in love with Isabella Dashin and eventually allying himself Kalel Kitsune, Isabella’s eventual lover and father of her daughter, he was able to use the trinity to rectify his mistakes, thereby becoming a Prophet of the Whills as stated in the Prophecy of the Nine Prophets. His spirit was carried to Ashlan Four after he sacrificed himself to save Kalel and kill Carden Mannux 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, 2007 – Battle of Vuur
The Battle of Vuur was the first battle of the Dar'yaim War. The conflict began after Darth Baas kept Narod Antrell's son, Roviik, captive in his palace located on Vuur, after the group had been stranded following a crash landing. Narod and his companions were thrown into the wild. Darth Baas never expected Narod to return and fight as he did; Narod rallied the Vuuranians of the South, known as the Suides, and took them into battle up north.

However, the Mandalorians of clan Usti'jin also were planning an invasion, and they interfered and fought against both armies, with hopes of victory and conquest of the entire planet. Darth Baas, his army of Bogenoemd soldiers and his Sith assassins were all outweighed on two fronts against Narod's Jedi Army and the Mandalorians. During the battle, Li Usti'jin ended up killing both Darth Baas and Narod Antrell.

In the end, the Mandalorians successfully defeated the opposing armies and took over the planet entirely. This began the Mandalorian's quest for power within the S'Voet region. Luckily for the Republic of P'ur, Zeri Undis Antrell and Roviik survived the encounter and managed to escape death by retreating to O'Tayum, and notifying Jerr Adoh that war had begun. Also, Narod Antrell, though killed in battle, lived on through a holocron he made years prior to the battle, to train his son Roviik Antrell, as for Roviik was the last hope for the Republic's survival.

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 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.

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.

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 22, 2007 – Lah D'ar
Lah D'ar was a Bith Jedi, born on Clak'dor VII in 15 BBY. He started playing music at a young age, and was eventually recruited to the Modal Nodes. He eventually quit because of his dislike of their leader: Figrin D'an. Following his leave, he joined the Jedi Praxeum and was taught by Yoda's Force ghost. While a Jedi, he went on a mission to confront the New CIS, but a duel with Darth Tyler eventually ended in a draw. Upon his return from the failed mission, he began wanting more power. Despite the efforts of Luke and Yoda to persuade him otherwise, he soon joined Lumiya as a Sith. He learned the ways of the dark side and went on several different missions for Lumiya, including one that gave him revenge over former Modal Node, Figrin D'an. Some time after joining the Sith he decided he had become powerul enough to confront Luke Skywalker. He did, and after a long and fiercesome battle, nearly defeated him, before being stopped by one of Luke's apprentices, named Erip. After his defeat he turned back to the light side. Lah had been greatly damaged by Erip's blows, and did not fight again until the Yuuzhan Vong war. During the war, D'ar died while attempting to protect his padawan.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

December 2, 2007 – Darth Krayt
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 – 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.

December 30, 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.

January 6, 2008 – 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.

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.

February 3, 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 10, 2008 – 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 Chiss also created a varient, called the Chiss Bladewing.

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.

February 17, 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.

February 24, 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 2, 2008 – 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.

March 9, 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 16, 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.

March 23, 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.
