Old Jedi Empire

The Old Jedi Empire was an Empire that existed during the Post-Boshru Era. The government was an authoritarian form of the Jedi Order that would exist tens of thousands of years later.

The Empire was formed by the Boshru race in 102,000 BBY, shortly before they evolved into the Human race. In 90,000 BBY, the Chief Librarian Evvret Darth stood before the Prime Jedi and the High Council and questioned the Empire's use of the Force as a tool to build rather than a weapon to conquer. His words were seen as heresy and he was imprisoned by the Council.

However, the librarian's words resonated with some other members of the Empire and several warriors staged his escape, sparking the Jedi Civil War. The Empire emerged victorious and exiled Evvret Darth and his followers to Korriban. Despite the victory, Jedha was decimated and the Empire relocated to the jungle world of Tython and built a great civilisation there.

Several hundred years later, the Sith returned under the leadership of a new Dark Lord, Wrensk, Evvret Darth's descendant. Tyhton is burnt in the attack but the Sith are pushed back, with Wrensk being killed along with the majority of the Sith.

The Jedi Empire, realising the error in their ways, decide to purge their civilisation and begin anew. They culled the surviving civilians and left Tython in ruins after burning their sacred texts and removing all evidence of their existence.

After relocating again, the Jedi reformed into the more peaceful Jedi Order that would exit for the next 90,000 years. The Order built a temple on Ahch-To as well as a mosaic to commemorate the Prime Jedi, one of the last reminders of the Jedi Empire in the galaxy other than the ruins on Tython.
