Taskforce of Concord Dawn

The Taskforce of Concord Dawn was a Jedi Taskforce consisting of over 300 Jedi sent to the world of Concord Dawn to stop a Mandalorian Uprising. The Taskforce was important to history due to the fact that they stopped the Mandalorians from making another army. Ever since the battle of Concord Dawn, the Mandalorians started dying out. Master Salon Trisea led the Taskforce and after the battle only 2 Masters, a Jedi Knight and a Jedi Padawan survived not including Kylan Saes.

Formation of the Taskforce
When a Mandalorian named Barkuun, gathered a Mandalorian army to conquer the planet of Concord Dawn and beyond, Jedi Master Mace Windu took immediant action against this. He gathered over three hundred Jedi to lead an assault on Concord Dawn to defeat the Mandalorian Army. He appointed his good friend Salon Trisea, leader of the Taskforce and allowed Triseas Padawan Kylan Saes to accompany him on the mission. Mace Windu gathered the best of all the Jedi and their Padawans and even appointed himself as a member of the Taskforce. However he was called away on another mission the day before the Jedis departure.

The Battle of Concord Dawn
When they arrived on Concord Dawn, Master Trisea sent about 50 Jedi to inflitrate the main city to evaluate the situation. He then proceeded to gather intel on Barkuun, the Mandalorian Leader. However when the spies were discovered all out battle ensued in which Barkuun immediantly attacked the Jedi.

Charging the city, Master Trisea and 10 other Jedi including Saes rescued the Prime Minister and the entire government. However, Barkuun successfully assassinated the Prime Minister and the other government members. The surviving members fled the battle.

Devising a plan, Trisea confused the Mandalorians by having Trisea go one way out of the city, and the other half of the taskforce go the other way. Barkuun divided his troops and Trisea and Saes rendevouzed with the other half and killed one of the other halves of the Mandalorians. A final confrontation then issued in the field. Barkuun led his forces hed on and personally dueled Trisea for 10 days straight! The battle laster 5 weeks with each side retreating for sometime then coming back. On the final day 20 out of 300 Jedi remained and 50 out of 1000 Mandalorians remained. In the middle of the final battle, Trisea unlashed a weapon he had been building uring his breaks. It was small but lethal and powered by the Force. As Trisea launched it, the Mandalorians suddenly became confused allowing the Jedi to pick them off. However Barkuun destroyed the device injuring Trisea in the process. The Jedi held their ground and in the end it was 10 Jedi against 20 Mandalorians. During the battle, Kylan Saes recklessly charged to do battle with Barkuun. After over an hour, Kylan was finally struck down injured. Trisea however thought he was dead and in grief attacked Barkuun injuring him fatally. Together, the remaining four Jedi (including Trisea) unleashed a powerful Force Wave subduing the rest of the mandalorians.

Aftermath
In the aftermath of the battle, 4 out of 300 Jedi remained not including Saes. Trisea left the Jedi on Concord Dawn and reported back to the Council. The 4 "Saviors of Concord Dawn" were honored by the Council. Though they separated the Council would sometimes have them reuinte for challenging missions.

The Great Purge
During the Jedi Purge, only 2 Jedi of the taskforce survived. They would go on to hide and wait until Luke Skywalker invited them to join his Order. Kylan Saes also survived having been captured by the Mandalorians thus surviving and later going on to join the Cathros Jedi Order.
