Order of the Old Tradition

The Order of the Old Tradition, sometimes referred to as the Jedi Remnant, was a Jedi splinter faction formed on Dantooine following Order 66. Its members were often known as "Remnantists" or "Jedi Traditionalists".

History
The Order of the Old Tradition was founded by a Jedi Knight who survived Order 66 while fighting as a Republic general. This survivor spent the weeks after Order 66 traveling across the galaxy and recruiting other survivors to his cause before setting up a base on Dantooine, where they served as peacekeepers among the local farming communities. Months into their existence as the Imperial grip on Dantooine tightened, the Remnantists left the planet after some of their members were discovered and captured. Many Remnantists gathered on Kashyyyk, where they established another stronghold and worked to settle disputes between Wookiee tribes. While on Kashyyyk, the Remnantists formed a resistance group against the Imperials, who had been enslaving many of the local tribes. After a series of defeats against the Imperial slave industry, what remained of the Remnantists went into hiding across the galaxy for years. The Inquisitorius, which was comprised of various Dark Jedi and other Force-sensitive Imperial agents, focused their efforts on tracking down and eliminating the Order of the Old Tradition. Some Remnantists later reemerged during the Galactic Civil War to fight for the Rebel Alliance and later became part of the New Jedi Order.

The term "Remnantist" was later used to reference a politician within the Imperial Remnant.
