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, 2007 – Vaskar
The Vaskar was a secret policing agency set up by Skyu Lon on Dorin to help control the crime. It was the counter to the passive nature of the Baran Do, in that should a conflict not be avoided, there would be a force there able to stop it.

The Vaskar had a fair number of well known people in it's ranks over the years of it's existance including Skyu Lon as the head of the Vaskar, Err Lupe and Dorn Atun. Over the years, some non-Kel'Dor joined the force in hopes of keeping the planet's infrastructure intact and keep the Baran Do respected. These people included Filose Naj, Dak Grenlar and Aras Doplin.

During the early stages of the Vaskar, the organization was located in the Baran Do Tower, along with the Sage Council. This changed as more members started coming in and a need for a real head quarters arose. The Vaskar HQ, a large building just north of the Baran Do Tower was created to house the Vaskar and also substituting as a prison. Eventually, bases were constructed aacross the galaxy on Coruscant, Kashyyyk, Nar Shaddaa and Manaan as examples.

The group would exist prominently before being disbanded during Lassavouu's leadership, then picked up again by the Wookiee Grrwooken. With strong leadership once again, the group would last for almost four more centuries before the last remnants were destroyed by the Sith on Yavin IV. The leader at that time, Filose Naj III, was killed aboard the Death Star fighting Lord Vader, giving the Rebels the time to escape.

January 13, 2007 – Unit 8311
Unit 8311 was a rogue CIS battle droid who survived the Clone Wars and would go on to form a major criminal organisation, the Steel Legion. Due to a programming glitch in his production, he was intelligent, had a free will, and had emotions. He had a somewhat cynical personality, which over the years would develop into a slightly more understanding one.

8311 had a somewhat turbulent history, especially during the Galactic Civil War, in which he was almost killed by Imperials and was forced to join the Rebellion. However, he would return to his homeworld of Hypori, where he began his return to power.

8311 would later reform and voluntarily relinquish control of the Legion, and in the aftermath of the Yuuzhan Vong War, he would take control of some systems devastated by the war, expanding his influence.

Over the course of his life, he woud have many bodies and forms, being a droid, and was intelligent and scheming. He also possessed superfast reflexes, enabling him to destroy all but the most powerful opponents within a matter of seconds when in an armed body.

January 20, 2008 – Filose Naj
Filose Naj was a powerful Falleen spy and mercenary during the late stages of The Great Sovereign Crusades. He had many jobs during this time period, many of which conflicted eachother greatly and got himself on the wanted list by nearly every faction.

Eventually, Filose gave up his spy-work and attempted to work towards a life of good doing. He went to Dorin and assisted in the policing there, joining the Vaskar. He would later be appointed the leader of the group and be the greatest that it had ever seen, leading the group to fame as well as galactic respect.

Filose had many positions during his life, including leader of the Vaskar, and head of defense for the Jedi and Prime Minister of Falleen. He would later form his own group in the outer-rim called The Fist of Naj, which would become a lesser version of the Vaskar. After all of these successes he would be appointed the Minister of Defense for the Republic, and lead the Republic through many victories.

He had killed a great number of wrong doers in his life, including a Dark Lord of the Sith, a Mandalore and an evil Kel'Dor named Dorn Atun. Though he did not like killing these people, he knew it was necesarry to preserve the peace on Coruscant and in the Republic.

Filose was married to a Falleen female named Shana Cech, who would become the Prime Minister of Falleen. They had a son together, Dak Naj, named after a great hero; Dak Grenlar. They would live on Falleen, and Filose would return to them anytime he got a break in his duties with the Republic.

Filose would die when invaders tried killing his wife because of her leadership on Falleen. He protected her with his life and when the odds became too much, he exploded the secluded building he and the attackers were in, killing himself to save his wife's life.

January 27, 2008 – Tulak Hord (Solus)
Tulak Hord was a Human Mandalorian Dark Lord of the Sith who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic. He was well-known for his talent with a lightsaber, despite some of the early restrictions. He was taken into the Order at a young age, and, after he was Knighted, began to question the philosophies of the Jedi. In a search to center himself and be alone, he came across a giant battlestation named the Andromeda. When he later turned to the dark side on persuasion of the current Dark Lord of the Sith, subsequently killing him and taking the mantle himself, he returned to the Andromeda feeder ship to wage his private war against the Jedi. 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. Tulak later killed Strider for what he had done, continuing his massecre without the power of the Andromeda. He was later confronted by his son, where he was killed in an acid pool.

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.
