Antus Ordo

"Therefore one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the most skillful. Seizing the enemy without fighting is the most skillful."

- Antus Ordo Antus Ordo was the son of the Mandalorian General Dacen Ordo and the Jedi Lara Bindu. He showed affinity to the Force at a young age. He lived on Kashyykk with his mother learning the ways of the force. He grew up to be a reveared leader and warrior that fought for Ordo's independence and established an underground empire known as New Moon. He also finished his training with the jedi council and became a jedi knight. He proved to be a brutal and wise military leader in his campaign and brought an end to the old ways of the mandalorian and brought about the new.

Early Life
Antus was born nearly 4 years after the jedi civil war. His father died when he was young and he never got to know him. Instead he was raised by his mother on their homeworld of Ordo. He was the child of two force senseitives and was therefore very strong in the force. His mother, who was a retired jedi saw this, but was reluctant to train him fearing he would follow his fathers path. However she also saw how Ordo would need a strong leader without the world would fall to pieces. When he turned five she began his training and was impressed at how quickly he grew in the force. When he grew a little older he also began his mandalorian training at the hands of one of the men in there town.

Clan Ordo Rebuilt
Another important thing was happening at this time. His uncle Canderous was reistablishing the clans under him and began retaking mandalorian worlds. One of the first to fall was Ordo because it was Canderous' home world. He then began drafting new mandalorians into his army. At this time Antus was the most promising of the young mandalorians. His mother did not want him to join Mandalore the Preserver because she feared that he would learn the truth about his fathers death. So she took him and left offworld and they traveled to Kashyykk where she finished his jedi training.

Kashyykk
There they gained the trust of the wookiees and Antus befriended a young wook by the name of Kreyyer. When he turned fifthteen his mother became one with the force. Although he was strong in the force he never completed his training. He was adopted into Kreyyer's family and was raised by them. By this time he and Kreyyer had become the best of friends and hunted together in the shadowlands. When he turned eighteen a small group of slavers known as New Moon Corp. invaded their village and took many of them captive including himself and Kreyyer.

New Moon Corp.
"Oh yes my favorite power hungry hutt."

- Antus Ordo aknowledging Tassek

They were brought aboard New Moon Corp.'s transport ship and taken to Nal Hutta to work as slaves in the spice mines. New Moon Corp. was run by a Hutt by the name of Tassek. Tassek controlled a large amount of spice smuggling on Nal Hutta as well as New Moon Corp. to supply him with fresh slaves. When they arrived they were sent to work Tassek's mines. After about six months on Nal Hutta, Antus and Kreyyer began plotting an escape. They succeded in their plan and in their escape they killed Tassek the Hutt. They left the planet aboard one of Tassek's ships the ShadowStar. In their escape offworld they had to fight off Tassek's men and destroyed his spice compound.

Kreyyer's Life Debt
"Me and you Kreyyer till the end."

- Antus after saving Kreyyer

After escaping Nal Hutta the pair docked at Nar Shada where they found work. They were working for they exchange as smugglers. They did smuggling runs from Nar Shada to Corelia and from Tatooine to Bespin. However one of Tassek's relatives discoverd where they were and decided to place a bounty on their heads. An Echani bounty hunter by the name of Jard Solus found them and attacked their ship. Antus and Kreyyer where taken by Jard to the Hutt who placed the bounty on his head. Once brought aboard the hutt's capital ship they were placed into force cages. Antus summoned the force to escape and saved Kreyyer. They went to the bridge in order to shut off the trackter beam and leave on the ShadowStar. While on the bridge they killed the hutt and escaped. Once in the safety of their ship Kreyyer swore a wookiee life debt to Antus.

The Jedi
After escaping the hutts yet again Antus recieved a vision through the force of a new mandalorian war. This war would be a civil war between him and the ressurected clans of his uncle. He was then visited by a force ghost of his mother who instructed him to go to the jedi council to finish his training. Shocked by this revalation he set cource for the jedi. Once he reached the academy he spoke to the jedi masters there about his visions and asked to be trained. At first they refused but jedi master Kel Varin agreed to take him as his padawan learner although he was already 23. Kel found that training Antus was supprisingly easy. Antus shared with Kel that he was trained by his mother as a boy. Kel tought Antus about the force and after about two years he felt he was ready to become a knight. First he needed two build a lightsaber. He sent Antus to Dantoonine in search of a crystal. While there he discovered the ruined enclave and was encountered by more force ghost this time of the fallen jedi from the bombing of that world during the jedi civil war. He asked them about the lightsaber crystals and they told him of the cave there. He traveled to the cave and found a pair of silver crystals. He went back to the enclave where he built his twin blades. Before he could leave the ghosts said he had to let them become one with the force. He fought and defeated the ghosts but was badly injured. He returned to his master who taught him how to heal his wounds. He explained to him that it was part of his test and that he was ready to be a knight. After his knighting ceremony he received another vision of his mother telling him it was time for him to fulfill his destiny and return to Ordo, but first he must assemble an army.

New Moon
Antus meditated on this and counceled with Kreyyer. He decided to return to Nal Hutta and attempt to capture a few flagships there. When he arrived he found that much had changed since his last altercation with the hutts. The remains of New Moon Corp. tore itself apart but continued to function somewhat. Antus took advanteged of this and siezed control of the company. He restructured it into New Moon so that he can have an army to free his homeworld. With New Moon under his control he began to build a fleet. After nearly five years his fleet numbered 100 flagships with 100,000 marines and a ground force of 75,000.

Encounter with Wei
During the time Antus was recruting troops a young force sensitive came to him by the name of Sima Yi. Sima was from the planet Wei and was seeking training in the ways of the force to free his people. Wei was under siege by their neighbors the deadly Kantels. Sima Yi pleaded with Antus to teach him since the jedi council turned him down. Seeing as this could mean potentional allies he agreed and taught Sima what he could. Sima in turn taught as many Weions and was able to defeat the Kantels. After which Sima Yi was named king of Wei and used his new power to supply Antus with more troops and resources. Also Sima and his aprentices the Weion disciples helped fight in Antus' war.

Mandalorian Civil War
"Do not look at me as the destroyer but as the remaker. Just like the mighty pheonix the Mandalorians have been engulfed in flames and have risen from the ashes. This is just another part of the cycle."

- Antus Ordo

After nearly seven years of preperation he felt he was finaly ready to go to war. He launched a simultaneous attack on two key locations. The first was Ordo which allowed for them to gather more resources and served as a foothold for an assault on Mandalorian space. The second was Dxun, the Mandalorians had already long left this world but still had a working outpost that served as a communication hub for the entire system. The Mandalorians reacted by mobilizing there 1/3 of their fleet to recapture Dxun. What the Mandalorians didn't know was that only a small army was sent to Dxun and the main fleet had attacked the planet of Goa which was a main source of fuel for the mandalorian fleet.
