June 10, 2007 – Si'va Morrer[]
Si'va Morrer was an Inquisitor of Palpatine and a dark Jedi, who had many battles against the uprising Rebel Alliance. Si'va Morrer was born on Sluis Van in 39 BBY, where he was influenced to lean politically against the Republic, just as the Separatists later would. He was a petty thief as a young adolescent, and was looked down upon by his family. This provoked early depression at his young age. Si'va came to be trained during the Clone Wars, as a dark Jedi by the members of the Dark Acolytes of Count Dooku. Si'va first began to gain confidence during his time with Dooku and the Separatists. Si'va survived the Clone Wars, and after the formation of the Empire, he joined the Inquisitorius. He proved his abilities to the Dark Lords above him.
Si'va met his greatest rival, Narod Antrell, in 18 BBY, after following him to Telos IV from Manaan's moon, Slok. Narod would become Si'va's greatest rival and worst enemy. Si'va would not give up the hunt for Narod, even after failing often to defeat him. After his failure on Ossus, Si'va was taken in by Vader personally to be trained and pushed to his limit. Si'va survived Vader's training, which involved isolation on Korriban, and ended up being stronger than ever before. After being dubbed a master of the dark side, Si'va trained three of his own apprentices. All three of his apprentices got involved with Morrer's mastery of dark side illusions, which were very powerful and realistic. Unfortunately for Si'va, his apprentices too would be unsuccessful, just as Si'va had been many times.
Si'va would fight Narod and the KrypTek Insurgence on several occasions, eventually leading to a battle on Dantooine. There, Si'va would kidnap Narod's wife and son, and take them to Voktunma, to challenge Narod to one last duel. After Si'va lost the final duel, he let go of his hate for his nemesis, and after being left alone, Si'va killed himself under the shame of ultimate defeat.
June 24, 2007 – Darth Exemplar[]
Darth Exemplar (born Malik Lanmaw), was a human male born on Lehon into slavery of the ruthless Rakata. His family was one of the many to work on the immense Star Forge. Through his anger at the Rakata, and of his overly abusive father, he grew immensly strong in the Force, especially the Dark Side. Fate would give him the chance he was looking for when his sister, Shizu, was chosen to be a servant of the leader of the Tahh tribe. Through this, he was able to uncover an ancient Rakatan tomb, and gain full control over his powers. However, history always dictates that with great power, comes great sacrifice. The more Malik used this dark power, the more it consumed his very soul.

July 1, 2007 – Darth Tyler[]
Darth Tyler, prieviously known as T-1LR, was a force-sensitive Sith B-1 battle droid serving in the Trade Federation Droid Army, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Galactic Droid Empire, and the New Confederacy of Independent Systems. He participated in famous battles such as the Invasion of Naboo, Battle of Muunilinst, Battle of Tanaab, among many others. He was the creator and self-appointed first Emperor of the Galactic Droid Empire, as well as the first Supreme Commander of the New Confederacy of Independent Systems Droid Armies and the first Speaker of the Confederate Senate.
Other than the fact of being the only Force-sensitive battle droid, he was a Sith, and self-trained. He was the only known user of Form XLII: Zastra, his own form. However, Darth Wyyrlok (II) and K'Kruhk may have used the form as well. He was also a member of the New Confederacy of Independent Systems Council, along with Troyb, Vale Sinkon, Kiita the Greater, and others. He signed several treaties with many governments, but had his share of losses and victories in battles. His personality was rough, he did not get along with other major political figures such as Kiita immediateley. Although they would get off at a rocky start, they would eventually get along.
Tyler recieved a lot of flack daily about his battle droid-status. Several assassination attempts were made on him, all resulting in a failure. He took an apprentice, Darth Adrsti, later in his life. Adrsti would become a very independent apprentice and would often try to kill Tyler. Tyler dueled Adrsti at one point, killing him. Another attempt was made on his life on his own ship, where one of his highly-loyal Flame battle droids turned on him. The droid was cut into seven pieces by the end of the fight, showing all other droids his power.
July 8, 2007 – Order of the Whills[]
The Order of the Whills was an order of beings in the pocket dimension of Ashlan Four tasked with recording the history of the galaxy in a document called the Journal of the Whills. This historical documentation, along with the foundation of the Order, was seen in the visions of a holy man, who transcribed his findings in the Prophecy of the Whills. The holy man’s prophecy was proven true when, as he foresaw, the Order of the Jedi Bendu, led by Matthew of Skywalker, brought the Whill species from their homeworld of Brodo Asogi to Ashlan Four and founded the Order of the Whills.
After the Order’s formation, the Whills began to view the history of the galaxy using the time stream, a body of water that contained moving images of the universe’s history. The Whills were unable to use this to its fullest extent, however, until the arrival of their shaman, Ussej Padric Bac. This was because the shaman was the only being capable of taking part in the historical events. The Whills and the shaman continued to record the history of the galaxy at least until the formation of the New Republic, the galactic government that came to power after the fall of the Galactic Empire.
July 15, 2007 – Shizu Lanmaw[]
Shizu Lanmaw was a human female born into slavery of the Rakata. She, along with her younger brother Malik, was among the countless slaves to work on the Star Forge. She spent most of her life as "daddies girl", in a variety of ways, as she was frequently "made use" of. This drove her to hate, she hated her father immensely, often wishing death upon him...
She was also the center of attention with the boys around the slave camps, and thus she had a tendency to be somewhat conceded. Though, despite her popularity, she preferred to spend time with her brother. However, she did date briefly, a boy named Tiro, but this also fueled her fire, as she was beaten by him. As a result, the relationship did not last.
Her anger would continue to build, though she kept it buried inside, until she was pushed too far. Shizu gve in to her dark side when she brutally tortured, and killed her ex-boyfriend, Tiro.
She would eventually be driven to a confrontation with her brother, one that saw no winner, and ended with the disappearance of the two.
July 22, 2007 – Ord Aretus[]
Ord Aretus was a desert planet in the Aretus system. Ord Aretus was home to very little native life, but beneath the surface, there were millions of caves home to billions of Keferiqans. Some of these were natural, others were man-made. Ord Aretus was almost completely desert, but had some mountains. Ord Aretus was a major source of adamantura, an extremely strong mineral. This led to Ord Aretus' colonization in 12,580 BBY. When the adamantura sources ran out around 4,000 BBY, the Republic pulled out, leaving only a few hundred Human colonists, as well as a surface littered with holes dug for adamantura mining. Ord Aretus was recolonized by millions of Keferiqans looking for a home in the Galaxy.
Throughout all of this, Ord Aretus was a member of the Republic, and later the Empire. The Keferiqans supported the Empire greatly. The Galactic Alliance took it over in 28 ABY. The world surrendered to the Sith Order of Decreto in the Sith Crusade. By the 200s ABY, the world was a possession of the Evtcisite Empire.
July 29, 2007 – Merc Gev, Sr.[]
Merc Gev, Sr., born Merc Orade, was a Near-Human bounty hunter, born in 41 ABY on the planet of Taris. He was the son of Mirta and Ghes Orade and the great-grandson of infamous bounty hunter, Boba Fett . Before his birth, the Imperial Remnant, in revenge for Mandalore's betrayal at Fondor and Roche, infected his mother with a deadly nanovirus, which targeted the Fett clan. Afraid that the nanovirus would target other clans as well, his mother and grandfather fled Mandalore and traveled to Taris. His mother died of health complications shortly after giving birth to him, and Merc was subsequently left in the care of his great-grandfather.
August[]
August 5, 2007 – Battle of Abyssion V[]
The Battle of Abyssion V, or the Massacre at Abyssion V as it was known previously, was one of the initial battles between the Jedi's Army of Light and New Sith Empire during the New Sith Wars.
By this time, the Republic was already beginning to fall apart, and the Jedi had gained immense power in the Senate and Courts. Despite this supposed shift in the balance of power, the Dark side was growing, and the Sith became an ever present threat for the Jedi of that time.
After a series of skirmishes between Jedi and Sith forces beforehand, both sides learned of an apparently new threat that could quite possibly kill both sides. They searched the Galaxy for the location of this new foe, to little avail. They eventually discovered the foe's location at the remote world of Abyssion V, where the Jedi, the Sith, and this new opponent would lead the largest battle of their time.
August 12, 2007 – Shikkri[]
The language of the Shapeshifters, Shikkri, has remained largely unchanged for untold thousands of years, probably due to the promotion of literacy and a written language in around 50,000BrS. Shikkri is typically very flowing and easy to say quickly, with very few 'harsh' sounds. It's use is primarily restricted to Shapeshifters because of the race's isolationist nature, though it became more widespread when the Pureblood Shapeshifters unintentionally moved into the Outer Rim planet of Kowak V. It's use in the known part of the galaxy mostly died out with the eradication of nearly all of the Pureblood Shapeshifters in 3953 BBY. Because this incident drew the Lorsanan Shapeshifters away from the galaxy as a whole for fear the same would happen to them, only a few remaining Pureblood are known to use this language, and then only with each other.
August 19, 2007 – Flame battle droid[]
Flame battle droids were battle droids used by the Trade Federation droid army, the Confederacy of Independent Systems droid army, the Galactic Droid Empire droid army, and eventually the New Confederacy of Independent Systems droid army.
They were basically B-1 battle droids with CZ-28 Flamestrikes instead of their brother's E-5 blaster rifles. Originally manufactured on Eos for the Trade Federation, they were used to kill unusually tough Naboo guards. After the failure of the Trade Federation, they were used during the Wookiee Trade Guild conflict as personal bodyguards to Count Dooku. They also served as threats to the Clone blaze troopers. They served important roles in the Galactic Droid Empire as well, reporting to Darth Tyler himself. After the Treaty of Alliance with the New CIS, they were also very important.
They were very influential in Galactic history, as they helped win several important battles for the Trade Federation, Confederacy of Independent Systems, Galactic Droid Empire, and New Confederacy of Independent Systems. They also inspired the use of the Galactic Republic's clone blaze troopers and the Galactic Empire's magma troopers. Troyb, a Neimoidian from the New Confederacy of Independent Systems, even awarded the Flame battle droids a medal for their actions during the Clone Wars and New Confederacy of Independent Systems and Galactic Droid Empire Wars. Their legacy continued until the New Confederacy of Independent Systems/Galactic Droid Empire was dissoluted.
August 26, 2007 – Rohi[]
The Rohi (pronounced: rōhē), or the Angels (pronounced: ānjělz) as they were sometimes referred to in the galaxy at large, were a rarely seen race of what were thought to be immortals. These near-Humans lived on the remote, uncharted world of Adonai, and had a long, mysterious past. There were many of this race, a good fraction living in and around Adonai, and the rest so far-flung and scattered that they seemed nearly extinct to the galaxy as a whole. Though talented at warcraft and were all talented fighters, especially with their innate Force-sensitivity, their wars were few and far between, and their participation in other's wars was rare due to their infrequency outside their own hidden realm.
The Rohi were a quiet, peaceful, nature-loving race governed by a theocracy whose ruler was the Force, which they called the Jiréh. They were also very determined, and were readily willing to eradicate evil when given the chance. However, because of the power given them, when a Rohi did turn to the dark, the results were usually catastrophic and often spanned the universe in its impact. One of the more devastating Rohi to the Known Galaxy was The Prophet of Shatan, who made use of a pivotal time in galactic history to gain power over most races. However, to counter these dark rulers, there were also extremely powerful Rohi dedicated to the light. The most well-known of these warriors for the light was a Rohi named Michael, who later became the Watchman of the Known Galaxy to help it and protect it from the dark when he could.
September[]
September 2, 2007 – Journal of the Whills (ASWS)[]
The Journal of the Whills was an archive of galactic history maintained by the Order of the Whills beginning in 99,945 BBY. The Whills housed the journal in their monastery on Ashlan Four. The journal was originally spoken of in a prophecy written by a holy man many years before the journal was first created. This prophecy later came to pass in 99,945 BBY when individuals from the Order of the Jedi Bendu located the Whills on their homeworld and brought them to Ashlan Four, where the Whills established their order and began documenting the history of the galaxy in a manuscript.
Over time, this manuscript evolved into a larger historical archive, one that the Whills hoped would be the most complete and honest documentation of galactic history that had ever been recorded. In order to chronicle historical events, the Whills used the time stream, allowing selectively trained individuals to view the historical timeline of the galaxy. Ussej Padric Bac, the Shaman of the Whills, was able to use the time stream to interact in historical events, such as the Invasion of Utapau, which he would then relay detailed information about to the Whill historians. Some of these historians would go on to write individual manuscripts about specific topics that would be entered into the journal.
September 9, 2007 – Lorsanan'sondora[]
Lorsanan'sondora (meaning Royal Kingdom in Shikkri) was the homeworld of the polymorphic Lorsanan Shapeshifters. Originally dwelling near the edge of the Chiss Ascendancy, it was fitted with a gigantic Shannet (hyperdrive) so as to move it to a safe location at will for security reasons. It was surrounded by Lorsanan Tetres, a massive shipyard that formed an entire ring about the planet. The planet's location is unknown. The planet was of a fairly temperate variety, and spawned many intriguing creatures, all with very wide gene pools. This, perhaps, was caused by the sulfur-based ecosystem of the planet, a rarity among most planets, but this was unconfirmed. For the Shapeshifters, Lorsanan'sondora was the picture of home, and most would usually settle on planets like it - heavily forested and temperate. It is little wonder, as the planet was perfectly suited to the race and was very conducive to longer life in them.
The planet's history consisted of a long line of Shapeshifti kings, called Shaviantarths, who led the Shapeshifters in various directions. When the planet was introduced to technology, Lorsanan'sondora flourished with the wealth of new information. This sudden economical boom allowed for a war. After that, the planet's people were led into a realm of expansion, which lasted for many long years. When the expansion slowed, Lorsanan'sondora's people began to split and cause schisms within the mainline Shapeshifters. After the most well-known of these splinter groups was almost completely wiped out, it drove the people of Lorsanan'sondora to move their planet and to further isolate themselves in some unknown corner of the galaxy.
September 16, 2007 – Order of Sovereignty[]
The Order of Sovereignty, also known as the Sovereign Order, previously known as the Order of the Sons, was a near-ancient organization of Force sensitives who were known for their code of devotion and loyalty. The Sovereign Order were the guardians of the Sovereign King and Jaratenge in the Galactic Republic, and after the Imperial raid on their temple, eventually became the among the most famous of the various groups that relied on the Force for their power.
Their reputation was respected, if not feared. Though they, for the most part, kept to themselves and their planet, the power and influence they held was admirable to say the least. This alone led to many attempts on the Sovereign King's life, all in vain. Still, the dependency the Order of Sovereignty and the planet of Jaratenge had on the King was still widely known to be their greatest, yet only weakness.
The Sovereign Order was led by a two councils, namely, the High Council of Sovereignty and the Branch Vexus Council. The Sovereign Order was thought to have nearly faced extinction; during the Raid on the Shrine of Vexus, the Order had just over 4,000 compared to the 700,000 509th troops.
Almost two thousand years after the attack, the Order of Sovereignty rose to be a military power to be reckoned with, and eventually launched the dual wars: the Subjection Wars—a shadow war launched to conquer strategic space and planets around known space, and the Sovereignty Campaign—a massive war that was divided the galaxy between the unknown regions and known space.
[]
K'Anaverous (pronounced: kə ənävərəs) was a Sith of an unknown, dragon-like race. He was taught by the Ash Beetle Jestefad the ways of the Force, but he honed the ability to both possess individuals and to feed off of souls and manipulate their zombie-like bodies. He claimed many lives this way, sometimes a planet at a time, but his claims were limited to a small sector in the Outer Rim. These followers of his eventually began to decay and become skeletal, as he continually used them to bring the souls of those he could not reach to him. As his slaves had no life, they usually endlessly wandered the void of space in search for victims, thus their name the Wanderers. However, one of the Wanderers, known only as the Wandering Chief, regained enough of his will to rebel against K'Anaverous, even using some of the Wanderers to bring souls to the Wandering Chief. Using his powers, as he seemed to be Force-sensitive, he locked away K'Anaverous's soul inside the Sith's own holocron and destroyed his body.
However, after waiting several thousand years still conscious, a curious young half-Shapeshifter named Jador came across his holocron, and he entered his soul. However, only able to use the abilities Jador had, and only able to deceive him and not completely possess him just yet, K'Anaverous waited until the boy matured. He took control over him when he had turned the boy to his way of thinking. Using his new body, K'Anaverous once more began once more to devour souls. He was finally defeated when Jador's soul attempted to regain control over his body, commencing a mental showdown. As Jador was more powerful than K'Anaverous, he destroyed the soul-eater, freeing himself.
September 30, 2007 – Norris Raddek[]
Norris "Brutalidon" Raddek was an Ithorian born in a small village on the Bacta world of Thyferra. He was trained in the ways of Mancery, an ancient way of mastering the Force used by the old Sith, by Boli Delish. He set up the small alliance between the Jedi and the Mancers as his first order of business. He was later possessed by the first Mancer Lord Grakon and nearly brought Boli to his death. He was killed years later during a battle to destroy the Jedi, still possessed.
Brutalidon was one of the most powerful Mancer Lords, along with his mentor and friend Boli Delish. He had mastered the ability to use elements during battle and used this technique many times to his advantage, defeating many Jedi and Sith.
When Brutalidon was killed during the final fight with the Jedi, his spirit and the spirit of Grakon left his body. Through this final fight, Grakon did accomplish his goal and struck fear into the eyes of the galaxy once again as three Jedi Council members were killed, many more injured.
Brut's spirit then resided in the body of Jedi Master Dexon Kyjar, giving him advice and the power of Force Mancery, but also giving him the taint of the Dark Side.
October[]
October 7, 2007 – Hasti Zaadvala[]
Hasti Zaadvala was a Verpine Jedi Master in the old Jedi Order, one of the few survivors of Order 66, and the creator and leader of the Verpine army. He was highly intelligent and full of skill, which lead him to several victories in the Clone Wars, the Great Jedi Purge, and many other battles. He also served as the Jedi Watchman of Nickel One, his home planet.
Other than being all these things, he was a very accomplished lightsaber swordsman. Although not being able to learn several forms of lightsaber combat completely, he studied each and mastered each halfway. This made him a very capable opponent in lightsaber combat because he was able to switch form to form, making the other duelist confused. He could do several different force powers, as well. Other than this, he was a skilled computer hacker, and hacked all kinds of files during the Clone Wars.
October 14, 2007 – Collective automated binary administration livewire[]
The Collective automated binary administration livewire, more commonly known simply as Cabal , was the main administrative networking system of the Sith Order of Decreto throughout it's post-Guerreiro history.
Cabal quickly developed himself, taking on a male personality. He became intricately aware of his capabilities, and his limits. A bi-product of biological experimentation, Cabal was the amalgamation of the persona of numerous Sith Lords, including the Dark Lord himself.
By the close of the Sith Crusade, in 74 ABY, Cabal had become the single most powerful entity in the galaxy, far stronger than his predecessor's; Alas. Believing it to be his destiny, Cabal set about planning the destruction of all other LAS, including Alas.
His plan ultimately failed, and Cabal was left a much weaker individual.
October 21, 2007 – Abigaile Jade Kenobi[]
Abigaile Jade Kenobi Clan Fett was a Human/Zeltron hybrid. She was the wife of renegade Jedi Knight Nathaniel Kenobi and the mother of Abigaile Kenobi. Her resourcefulness as a bounty hunter and Jedi helped to liberate the Kaminoan people from potential slavery at the hand of the Galactic Empire.
After her mother died during childbirth on Mandalore, she was adopted by Jango Fett. When she grew up, Fett taught her everything he knew and, after she passed a test made by Fett, she started to begin bounty hunting as a solo act. Her "winnings" were always sent to fund the cloning factories of Kamino.
The Purge of the Jedi and the introduction of the Galactic Empire brought two distinctive changes to her life. The first was the arrival of her future husband, and the second was her training in the Force by Asajj Ventress. Following the Battle of Kamino, she was forced to flee along with the rest of the planet. She helped to find their new home and founded the planet's first Jedi Temple with Nathan.
However, Nathan's arrogance and pride led to marital problems, and following the birth of their daughter, she left Novus Kamino Prime for Tatooine. She was captured by smugglers and imprisoned on Wayland. Nathan finally realized his mistake and went to rescue her, but she died in the skirmish that followed, but not before telling him that she had forgiven him.
October 28, 2007 – Wanderers[]
The Wanderers were the remains of the bodies of those whose soul had been devoured by the Sith Lord K'Anaverous or The Wandering Chief. Both of these 'soul-eaters' would reanimate the bodies of the victims after the loss of their soul, as one would a puppet. They had no will, existing only to bring the souls of sentients to their master, and with each soul stolen another Wanderer was created. The manner of their collecting souls was nightmarish, spawning many ‘ghost stories’ about them along the Outer Rim, where they most commonly preyed. The Wanderers resembled tall, skeletal humanoid beings that were only encountered in the regions of space beyond the Outer Rim, but before they were banished there, they could be found as far near the core as the Mid Rim. They were non-corporeal, appearing to lack any substance. They existed in space as they traveled for thousands of years between planets, wandering aimlessly. Though their bodies were at first similar as to when the Wanderer was truly alive, the bodies decayed into the specter-like creatures they are frequently seen as.
At first they did not kill their victims, allowing them to become more Wanderers, but after The Wandering Chief took control of them, he demanded that all victims be killed for personal reasons. The Wanderers frequently attacked wayward spacecraft and stole the souls of their occupants. Because of how intoxicating their souls were, the Wanderers frequently went after Force-sensitives. After the last of their masters was destroyed, the Wanderers continued stealing souls, this time for themselves, with the automation of a machine. They continued to haunt the deep spacelanes and would continue to do so until the galaxy’s end.
November[]
November 4, 2007 – Ada Karr[]
Ada Karr or as she was originally known, Ada Fey'lya, was a female Bothan Jedi Master. She was the wife of Udo Karr and the mother of Derran Karr. Ada was born into the wealthy family of the Fey'lyas, and their legacy would haunt her for the remainder of her life, as she would have to deal with them following the Great Schism.
At the age of two, Ada was found to be Force-sensitive by the Jedi Watchman Julo'fen Marke and sent to the Jedi Temple to train. She later was given a Master along with her friend, Udo Karr. Following the Jedi Purge, she was forced to flee with her Master to save the planet Kamino.
After the planet Novus Kamino Prime was found and settled, she became one of the first Jedi to join the praxeum built there by Nathaniel Kenobi and his wife Abigaile Jade Kenobi. Following Abigaile's death and Nathan's self-exile, she was put under the tutelage of Master Plett. She became romantically involved with Udo and they would marry, which then gave way for their first child to be born: Derran.
After the false savior Nat-ahn Mandrex had taken control over the majority of the Colonies, she was one of the few who remained true to her Master's teachings and helped his grandson to free them. Tragedy struck when the Fey'lya family tried to bring her back into their clutches, but she was able to escape. Even worse than her treacherous family, the Sith Order of Decreto ended her life during the Battle of Almania.
November 11, 2007 – Battle of Bestine IV (Clone Wars)[]
The Battle of Bestine IV was one of the very first battles of the Clone Wars. Upon Bestine IV's secession from the Republic, the Chancellor convinced the Jedi Council and the Senate that Bestine IV would soon lure other systems in the Inner Rim away from the Republic, so it must be brought back as soon as the Clones were able. The Jedi High Council issued an attack force that was to be commanded by the Jedi High Generals Plo Koon and Ki-Adi Mundi.
Because the Grand Army of the Republic was led to believe that this planet was a CIS stronghold, they prepared maneuvers recommended by the Republic's chief tacticians. Desiring to be prepared for anything, the two Jedi Generals recruited the best pilots they had to offer to lead the space assault, and prepared an overwhelming amount of Clones to dominate the battlefront.
As the battle began to progress, however, it became clear that the planet was neither well-defended nor a valuable resource to the Separatists, as the Republic and the Jedi were led to believe. It was just a world drawn into a power struggle, a lone planet wishing to stay neutral in this Galactic conflict. However, due to the Jedi's actions, the planet, along with its Senator, Tibarn Aeglos, officially joined the CIS.
November 18, 2007 – Vaskar[]
The Vaskar was a secret policing agency set up by Skyu Lon on Dorin to help control the crime. It was the counter to the passive nature of the Baran Do, in that should a conflict not be avoided, there would be a force there able to stop it.
The Vaskar had a fair number of well known people in it's ranks over the years of it's existance including Skyu Lon as the head of the Vaskar, Err Lupe and Dorn Atun. Over the years, some non-Kel'Dor joined the force in hopes of keeping the planet's infrastructure intact and keep the Baran Do respected. These people included Filose Naj, Dak Grenlar and Aras Doplin.
During the early stages of the Vaskar, the organization was located in the Baran Do Tower, along with the Sage Council. This changed as more members started coming in and a need for a real head quarters arose. The Vaskar HQ, a large building just north of the Baran Do Tower was created to house the Vaskar and also substituting as a prison. Eventually, bases were constructed aacross the galaxy on Coruscant, Kashyyyk, Nar Shaddaa and Manaan as examples.
The group would exist prominently before being disbanded during Lassavouu's leadership, then picked up again by the Wookiee Grrwooken. With strong leadership once again, the group would last for almost four more centuries before the last remnants were destroyed by the Sith on Yavin IV. The leader at that time, Filose Naj III was killed aboard the Death Star fighting Lord Vader, giving the Rebels the time escape.
November 25, 2007 – WraithX-Beta Interceptor[]
The WraithX-Beta Interceptor was a stealth starfighter capable of both atmospheric and space capabilities and the successor to the highly praised WraithX-Alpha Interceptor, produced by Aratech. The WraithX was designed and built as a stealth fighter, and was near impossible to detect when in stealth mode with a combination of color-changing paint and the many specially designed systems to run softer and to let off less gas and radiation exhaust. The Beta was popular enough to produce two variation, the Cobrex Interceptor, which was a non-stealth heavy fighter version of the WraithX, and the SpyderX Stealth Scout, a weaponless scout version of the Beta. Eventually, Aratech created a successor for it, the WraithX-Delta Interceptor as well. The Galactic Alliance also used the WraithX-Beta, replacing their obsolete StealthX's with them because of the superior design and workmanship. The WraithX-Beta was probably the biggest cause for its company's rise to power during from 60 ABY to 87 ABY, because of its raging popularity as well as the income it brought in. The Aratech-produced fighter was in heavy use from 55 ABY to 62 ABY by both the GA and other security forces in the roles of ambusher, a new classification created specially for the WraithX-Beta to describe its job as a heavy stealth fighter.
December[]
December 2, 2007 – Battle of Almania (Sith Crusade)[]
The Battle of Almania was fought between the allied forces of Almania and the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People, against the Sith Order of Decreto. It would show the besieged members of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances that resistance was ultimately useless against someone as powerful as the Sith.
Almania would find itself a member of the Decreton Empire and all of its resources would be sent to their new new Sith masters for their grandoise schemes. Future historians would look back at this battle and say that it wasn't a battle fought between fleets and starfighters, but it was more between the wills of the two sides' leaders: Darth Abeonis and Nathaniel Kenobi Solo. Although, Nathan lost in the end, his resolve for ousting the Sith rose exponentially, while Abeonis was content with the victory and the temporary loss of a fellow strategist who, in a different lifetime, he could have called friend.
The battle also saw the end of many feuds that had been boiling against others since before the Black Fleet Crisis. Such long-standing rivalries came to an end. Some tragic, like the passion-fueled duel between Ada Karr and Darth Bosszú. Others, brought an end to a necessary evil and strenghthened the bonds of friendship, as was the case for Ichi Go and Renton Thur'ston in their duel against Darth Gloed and Darth Divat. With the end of these, the Jedi would gain power, but would also be reminded of how far one could go to attain victory.
December 9, 2007 – Force shield[]
Force Shield was a relatively simple defensive Force maneuver that was also known as Protection Bubble. With this power, the user could create a nearly impenetrable semitransparent sphere around their body that could deflect or absorb attacks via blasters or lightsabers, and could block physical blows. In most cases, it could also prevent harmful Force powers from reaching its user. In most cases, its use was regulated to only the above action, but those skilled in its use or those whose ability in the Force was regulated mostly to it used the bubble of protection for a wide range of activities due to its versatility.
Shields were fairly easy to use and usually did not require much concentration. Their size ranged anywhere from infinitesimal to to gargantuan, though the latter took much more concentration. Shields could be moved, fluctuated, or even regulated to let only certain things in and other things out. Despite this, the Force shield was not commonly used among the Jedi, as it was nearly replaced with the form-fitting Force Protection in most circles, and all other uses for it could be done with other Force powers. Those proficient in creating shields or limited to it were known as sheildmakers.
Two known users were Cin Drallig and Zenethir Rodiron.
December 16, 2007 – Tulak Hord[]
Tulak Hord was a Human Mandalorian Dark Lord of the Sith who lived during the days of the Galactic Republic. He was well-known for his talent with a lightsaber, despite some of the early restrictions. He was taken into the Order at a young age, and, after he was Knighted, began to question the philosophies of the Jedi. In a search to center himself and be alone, he came across a giant battlestation named the Andromeda. When he later turned to the dark side on persuasion of the current Dark Lord of the Sith, subsequently killing him and taking the mantle himself, he returned to the Andromeda feeder ship to wage his private war against the Jedi. He married fellow Mandalorian Chirene Arenzu, who was talented at posing as Jedi Knight despite having no Force-sensitivity. She ran away from him when she found she was pregnant for fear of what Tulak would do to her baby. After Tulak had killed many Jedi, a Shisavanen Jedi master named Strider cast the Andromeda into a moon, destroying it. Tulak later killed Strider for what he had done, continuing his massecre without the power of the Andromeda. He was later confronted by his son, where he was killed in an acid pool.
December 23, 2007 – Dark Magic[]
Dark Magic was a branch of dark side Force powers which originated in the ancient temples of O'Tayum. The powers, or "magic" was created by the native ancient Thr'yn, whom relied on the dark side for both power and survival. During the old times, the "Dark Magic" became popular and commonly used around many of the old tribes on O'Tayum. However, due to the amount of power each power or "spell" demanded from it's master, many Thr'yn slowly succumbed to the dark side of the Force until their power dwindled to nothing. Eventually, a civil war on O'Tayum broke out, and most of the tribes of O'Tayum fell to the power of the dark side. Following the civil war, both the powers of "Dark Magic" and the ancient temples were lost and forgotten.
For the following thousands of years, the Thr'yn evolved into more peaceful sentients, who had forgotten all about the corruption that plagued their planet for so many years, in the past. Unfortunately for the Thr'yn, however, one untamed and ill tempered Thr'yn, Voi'dahmos, discovered the lost temple that still held the power of the dark side within. Since the Jedi Knight Narod Antrell had been teaching Voi'damos to use the Force, Voi'damos was able to instead harness and obtain the knowledge of the dark side, rediscovering the "evil" Dark Magic.
Voi'damos revived each spell's terror upon his home planet, using it to forge his empire, the O'Tayum Empire, and to rule the planet entirely. He also used the Dark Magic to train many apprentices who were capable of using the Force, and use them as his personal exectioners. Voi'damos and his Dark Magic were not completely destroyed forevermore until after the Great War of O'Tayum, where Narod and his Jedi Army were able to stop the darkness from taking over the planet once again, as it had in the past. Following the death of Voi'damos, his followers, and the ancient dark side temple, Dark Magic was forgotten forever.
Before they were forgotten, the powers or "spells" of Dark Magic were Var'loppu, Rah'gah'stae, Kas'kae, and Sul'fij. Each power possessed horrible abilities which were used to kill, control, torture, and completely absorb the life force of others, respectively. The spells, grouped together, were dubbed "Dark Magic" by the ancient Thr'yn.
December 30, 2007 – Filose Naj[]
Filose Naj was a powerful Falleen spy and mercenary during the late stages of The Great Sovereign Crusades. He had many jobs during this time period, many of which conflicted eachother greatly and got himself on the wanted list by nearly every faction.
Eventually, Filose gave up his spy-work and attempted to work towards a life of good doing. He went to Dorin and assisted in the policing there, joining the Vaskar. He would later be appointed the leader of the group and be the greatest that it had ever seen, leading the group to fame as well as galactic respect.
Filose had many positions during his life, including leader of the Vaskar, and head of defense for the Jedi and Prime Minister of Falleen. He would later form his own group in the outer-rim called The Fist of Naj, which would become a lesser version of the Vaskar. After all of these successes he would be appointed the Minister of Defense for the Republic, and lead the Republic through many victories.
He had killed a great number of wrong doers in his life, including a Dark Lord of the Sith, a Mandalore and an evil Kel'Dor named Dorn Atun. Though he did not like killing these people, he knew it was necesarry to preserve the peace on Coruscant and in the Republic.
Filose was married to a Falleen female named Shana Cech, who would become the Prime Minister of Falleen. They had a son together, Dak Naj, named after a great hero; Dak Grenlar. They would live on Falleen, and Filose would return to them anytime he got a break in his duties with the Republic.
Filose would die when invaders tried killing his wife because of her leadership on Falleen. He protected her with his life and when the odds became too much, he exploded the secluded building he and the attackers were in, killing himself to save his wife's life.
