Dark Crusaders

The Dark Crusaders were a dark side organization that was dedicated to destroying the Jedi Order and ruling the galaxy. They were created after a group of individuals split from the Jedi Order in pursuit of their own goals. This schism led to a conflict between the Jedi and the Dark Crusaders, which eventually led to the near utter defeat of the Crusaders and the displacement of the Jedi Order (which eventually moved to ). The two factions developed a rivalry, and caused many conflicts, nearly all of them for control of the Republic. By 1,000 BBY the organization faded away in favor of the Sith; an organization of dark side Force users that were led by two members over a small group of lesser dark side members, this was unlike the Crusaders philosophy of fielding an army of dark side users.
