Soundless War

The Soundless War was a conflict that occurred during the Old Republic Era between the Republic and the Followers of the Infinite Darkness.

After a massacre committed by Republic soldiers took place on the planet Malachor, The Black Hand, the leader of the cult declared a silent war on the Republic and ordered the assassination of many Republican senators across the galaxy. On cultist, Fenn was nearly able to assassinate the Chancellor of the Republic, but was thwarted by Jedi Knight Ly Jaena.

In 5943 BBY, after 1 year of assassination attempts, Jedi Knights Malcolm Orres and Tibann were sent for peace negotiations with the cult. When the negotiations failed, Tibann offered himself as a sacrifice to the cult. The Black Hand accepted his offer and he became a prisoner of the cult for over 22 years, however, peace was restored to the galaxy.
