Jedi Order V (Jedi Renaissance)

The fifth iteration of the Jedi Order was organized at the end of the conflict with the Eternal Imperium by Darth Imperius, the Supreme Commander of the Eternal Alliance and the leader of a coalition of Sith and Jedi who stood against the tide of war created by Emperor Valkorian on Zakuul. Under Imperius' rule, the allied Sith Lords, Jedi Knights, and Knights of Zakuul who disavowed the Eternal Imperium formed a new Jedi Order, with Imperius taking the title of Grand Master and resuming use of his birth name, Tulon Chamra. Espousing a creed of moral relativism based on the ancient codes of both the Sith and the Jedi, Chamra's Order occupied the Temples on Tython and Coruscant in an attempt to secure legitimacy for the new Order. Vowing allegiance to the new Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, the Sith followed their leader in discarding their Darth titles and the most violent among them were sent to meditate on Tython. Serving the Alliance from the Galactic Core, the Jedi Order once more began to flourish as the galaxy stabilized under Alliance control. Despite their early growth and development, the Jedi Order would forever be plagued by warring factions of Sith on the galactic rim and the Imperial Knights in the northern galaxy. Over time, the Order began to fracture as the Council was seen as being ineffectual at dismantling the disparate Sith tribes across the galaxy. Many Jedi left Coruscant to form their own kingdoms throughout the galaxy, offering protection from Sith marauders in exchange for fealty from local systems. Attempting to heal the galaxy using ancient alchemy, the Order was undermined by Sith infiltrators who quickly eroded trust in the Order and allowed the Imperial Remnant to launch an assault on the Alliance with the aid of Darth Krayt's Sith army. Unable to muster a strong defense when the Sith attacked Coruscant, the Jedi Temple was raided and emptied at the end of the Sith-Imperial War, forcing those surviving Jedi to flee to Tython. It was at Tython that over half of the Order was slaughtered, with the rest of all active Jedi fleeing underground or taking refuge at the so-called Hidden Temple on Taivas. Eventually, the Sith Dominion launched an assault on the Hidden Temple, ending the Jedi Order built by Darth Imperius.
