Antar Kogos

Antar Kogos was a Human male officer of the Republic Judicial Forces who lived c. 600 BBY and was the founder of the Antarian Rangers, a paramilitary force who directly served the Jedi Order from its formation until the Jedi Order's dissolution in 19 BBY.

Overview
In 620 BBY, the Galactic Senate reached an impasse after multiple Coruscant journalists were captured by pirates during trips to Hutt Space. Fearing a war with the Hutts, which many suspected would plunge Republic worlds into an economic depression, the Senate ordered that neither the Jedi nor Judicial Forces retaliate to the kidnappings. A diplomat was sent to negotiate with the pirates, only to be murdered; this prompted Antar, a lieutenant of the Judicial Forces' director, to conspire with the Jedi High Council to form a secret paramilitary in what historians would later call a "Revanchist action". Thousands of Judicials and Jedi Knights were gathered for an incursion into Hutt Space, culminating in an invasion of the planet Nar Kreeta, where the surviving journalists were being held. Although the journalists were liberated and the Hutt rulers of Nar Kreeta were forced to pay reparations, Antar Kogos was killed during the invasion. Upon returning to Coruscant, all of the renegades save for the Jedi were detained. However, the public media, who hailed the renegades as heroes for their actions, protested the Senate until they were released and allowed to continue serving the Jedi Order directly, forming the first generation of the Antarian Rangers.
