2009[]

January 4, 2009 – Sela Kerroro[]
Sela Kerroro was a Mandalorian, and mother of Rufar Kakhuzi. Born on the forested Mandalorian controlled planet of Dxun, Sela was born into a small but powerful southern clan. At the age of two, another clan destroyed hers, and she was adopted into that clan after her parents were killed in the raid. Eventually, she was thrown out of this village, and forced to fend for herself on Dxun. Eventually, she found the Nobrezan Remnants, and lived with them. She cared for a young Feeorin called Keshu Trom, and eventually fell in love with him, before turning him away. Trom took revenge by betraying the Nobrezans to their death.
Sela was then captured by Trom and made a slave, before becoming a bounty hunter, both for Atrum Vesica and for the Assassins Guild. Eventually, Trom framed her and she was forced to escape with Masu Hath, who she then fell in love with. After the couple embarked on their quest to find another House of Light, Sela was captured by Trom once more, but was able to escape. After escaping, She and Hath married.
Finally, they realized that they couldn’t complete their quest and Sela, who by now had become pregnant, was instructed to go to Dantooine to give birth to their son by Hath, who revealed to her that he was really The Light. After returning to Dantooine, she raised her son and Danreb, a young Rodian orphan she had found. After Rufar went to become a Jedi, Danreb eventually killed her.
January 11, 2009 – Battle of Gand[]
The Battle of Gand was the preliminary battle in the Galactic Civil War, and believed to be the first armed conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Beginning with the capture of Gand by early Rebel forces, they managed to take the Empire by surprise and capture the planets and its numerous floating cities. The Empire responded by sending in a small scout fleet to find out their opponent's military strength, but the scout fleet was destroyed before it returned to the Imperial Capital.
Following the destruction of their fleet and the capture of Gand, the Emperor demanded that Darth Vader go to Gand personally with a large assault force and destroy any resistance on the planet. Vader complied with orders, and with another Dark acolyte (presumably Jerec) assembled the largest fleet the Empire had constructed in years, and assembled a powerful infantry/mechanized infantry attack force, consisting of the famed 501st Legion and the 671st Stormtrooper Platoon, both relatively powerful in their own right.
The attack would start in orbit miles above the planet, and the Imperial fleet would continue to defeat the Rebel fleets, defeating them at several pivotal locations around the planet, sending them retreating inside Gand's atmosphere. With the rebellion force in full retreat, Vader and his armada descended planetward, and began to defeat enemy ships in the skies as they approached the largest floating city. Defeating several enemy bases set up around the planet's gaseous skies, the bulk of the Imperial ground forces eventually made it to the largest floating city.
Following the Imperial infantry landing Gand Erx, they were forced to remain near their landing zones as the rebels opened fire on their positions. With the eventual arrival of air and mechanized support, they managed to push back rebel forces from their lofty locations into their bunkers and outposts, which were subsequently destroyed by heavy Imperial walkers. As the rebels were routed, Vader himself landed on the surface to assist in moping up the remaining resistance forces. However, a tremor in the Force caused him to travel to the depths of the Gand Megaplex; where he discovered the ringleader of the entire attack; an Order 66 survivor named Ra Blin.
In an intense duel between the two, it seemed that Vader had the upper hand for most of the battle. However, with the arrival of Blin's apprentice, Cori Benn, the tide turned in favor of the two Jedi. Managing to get a lucky shot, Blin temporarily incapacitated the Dark Lord, and was about to strike him down, if not for the timely arrival of the Dark acolyte, who struck Blin with Dark side energy, killing him.
Though the battle had been won for the Empire, it had been a catastrophic victory. Nearly the entire alliance force that attacked the planet was wiped out, and the remainder of the forces that survived were either captured, or were hunted down by Bounty hunters. The Empire lost most of its attacking Stormtroopers, along with other casualties that set back the Empire a few months in an attempt to regain their military prowess.
January 18, 2009 – Sarus[]
Sarus was the leader of the Ophuchi Clan during the time of the Invasion of Utapau. When he was young, he found out that he was carrying a spirit inside of him that had lasted for over one hundred thousand years, a destiny that he did not originally accept until he came to realize that if he believed in the possibility then he would do the right thing when the time came. In the years that followed, Sarus met Shmi Skywalker who was pregnant with a son, despite the fact that she was a virgin. After he fought off a supposed Sith assailant, Sarus helped deliver the child whom Shmi named Annikin Skywalker. Sarus believed that Annikin would go on to be the Chosen One based on what was said in the Prophecy of the Chosen One and the circumstances surrounding his birth. Shortly thereafter, Sarus was contacted by the Shaman of the Whills who told him of the destiny he would play in Annikin's life. In the years that followed, Sarus kept a close eye on Annikin, and he also had dealings with the Trade Federation.
Years later, Sarus came into contact with Annikin once again, as well as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jard Dooku, Jar Binks and Sabé Arcadia, the outsiders that Annikin was allowing to stay at his home. Sarus led them into the Ophuchi Sanctuary in the Dune Sea where he told them about the Ophuchi people, and later the prophecy of the Chosen One. Annikin had a difficult time accepting his possible destiny, but Sarus was able to convince him to believe that it could be true. Later, they traveled to Anchorhead where they were able to negotiate with Bib Fortuna at Jabba the Hutt’s regional office to release Annikin from the Lars family’s sharecropping contract, though Annikin would first have to win a swoop race against his rival Sebulba.
Annikin won the race, partially because of the fact that Sarus damaged the stabilizer on Sebulba's racer. After securing Annikin's release from the contract, Sarus confessed this to Annikin who did not take it well. Shortly before saying goodbye to Annikin, Sarus transferred something from inside of himself into Annikin, though he did not tell Annikin what it was. Sarus left and spoke with the Shaman of the Whills once again who told him that his role in Annikin's destiny was over, though he would still have preordained roles to play in the future.
January 25, 2009 – Tarisian Drewton[]
Tarisian Drewton, born in 43 BBY, was a recruited Clone Lieutenant during the Clone Wars. His father, Drazil Drewton, was killed by an assassin in 32 BBY. Tarisian and his brother, Larry, barely escaped and crashed on Dantooine via escape pod. A Jedi Master named Idnum-Ki rescued them soon after, and took them back to their homeplanet.
Ten years later, Tarisian and his brother joined the Republic Peace Keepers and fought skirmishes against the Nockudumey Terrorists led by Bodotor Thuvat, the first on Mithus and the second on Coruscant. Later, they were recruited into the Clone Army. Tarisian became a Lieutenant, and fought many battles in the Clone Wars. He first met Dular on Getato and encountered Daklif Ordo while defending Kamino. One of the most notable battles he fought in was the Battle of Sriran, when the Republic assaulted Delta Station, a Separatist base.
Months into the war, he and his brother were captured by the Nockudumey. Bodotor Thuvat told Tarisian that the Nockudumey was not actually meant to be a terrorist organization by its founder Revan, but that his successors had turned it into one. Tarisian's doubts were eventually weakened, and later, he was told by a terrorist named Mecupa that he had killed his father. Tarisian tried to avenge Drazil, but his brawl with Mecupa was interrupted when Daklif Ordo arrived unexpectedly. Ordo told Mecupa that Thuvat was making a speech, one that Mecupa visited, and while present, denounced Bodotor. A skirmish followed which Tarisian and Larry participated in, ending with the arrival of Republic forces which rescued the Drewtons forced the Nockudumey to retreat.

February 1, 2009 – Battle of Cul-Huq (Cruentusian War)[]
The Battle of Cul-Huq was a major battle of the Cruentusian War, and arguably a major turning point. Its roots lay at the time when Carsal Redharn noticed that the Srav Federation was setting up a major base on the idyllic world of Cul-Huq, which was rich in natural resources, providing a base of great wealth to the Srav Federation. He planned a major assault on the world, deciding that it would better serve Necasian assets and would help forward their war efforts. However, his treacherous commander Askar Invado sold valuable information to the Srav Intelligence units about the planned assault, and made sure that pre-battle Necasian sabotage failed dismally. When the Necasians arrived at the planet, they met with a large Srav force, ready and armed and completely unharmed by their planned sabotage.
As a battle raged in space, a Necasian fleet managed to land on the world, where they engaged Srav forces, offloading their heavy weapons in an attempt to storm them. A group of Savi Alliance mercenaries were also present, however, and got caught in the crossfire, and began fighting both sides, pushing the Necasian storming attempt back. Eventually, however, with the loss of several Necasian ships and therefore a large part of their anti-missile laser countermeasures, Ivran Gresev, the Srav commander, lost patience and ordered a full nuking of half the planet. Nearly all of the Necasian and Savi forces, as well as some Srav troops, were annihilated, causing severe damage to the Necasian war machine in that system, and offering all Redharn critics ammunition. After the battle, Redharn received most of the blame for the defeat, with Askar Invado using it to call for a new leader, starting great political turmoil amongst the Necasians that would, eventually, lead to civil war.
Force Exile series (deleted)[]
The Force Exile series is an ongoing fan book series written and produced by Atarumaster88, currently distributed via request with the author and on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki. The first novel, Force Exile I: Fugitive, was released in June 2007 and set at the tail end of the galaxy-spanning Clone Wars. Fugitive introduced several original characters to the Star Wars universe, including the Jedi Padawan Selusda Kraen and ARC trooper Alpha-28, also known as Spectre. In the novel, the characters of the story must each confront the grim reality of Order 66 and the rise of the Empire in their own way, finding their way in a galaxy changed forever by the revenge of the Sith. For the cover, Atarumaster88 was able to procure art from a user on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki named Solus, and the detailed covers have been a mainstay of the series. Fugitive garnered critical acclaim from several reviewers, including the Star Wars Fanon Newsletter's staff, as well as winning the Best Novel Award in the Third Wiki Awards.
With the completion of Fugitive, Atarumaster88 began working on its sequel, Force Exile II: Smuggler, which continues the story of Selu and Spectre a few months after Fugitive, while bringing previously minor characters introduced in Fugitive to greater prominence. These included Sarth Kraen, Selu's brother, and R'hask Sei'lar, the captain of the freighter Hawk-bat. It also introduced Milya Tayrce, a runaway Echani who went on to play a large role in the novel. Smuggler finished with an explosive ending, with the final novel compiled in November 2007—a total writing time of less than six months for a 193 page book. Although the sequel received less critical notice, Atarumaster88 continued on with the final book of the trilogy, Force Exile III: Liberator, an even longer work that ended up spanning 295 pages. Set in 16 BBY, Liberator brought resolution to characters and events introduced throughout the books, setting them off in new directions at the end. It was finished in May 2008, again with a total writing period of only five months. Atarumaster88 attributed this pace to his extensive pre-planned outlining and layout work, as well as the multiple revisions the story underwent as it evolved and grew. However, Solus left the project after Smuggler, leaving Atarumaster88 to contact Darth Nyne to continue the production of covers for the series.
The latest additions to the Force Exile saga have not been novels. Starting in the summer of 2008, Atarumaster88 began work on a follow-on work to Liberator, an anthology of short stories known as the Yanibar Tales, stating that the stories within in it followed looser guidelines and could be written in a couple of weeks. Another follow-on work, The Essential Guide to Force Exile, is currently in the drafting stages, being partially complete as of this writing. Atarumaster88 has hinted that a second trilogy of Force Exile novels exists as well, but so far details have yet to be released.
February 8, 2009 – Tiberius Henry Zaren (deleted)[]
Tiberius Henry Zaren, known by Estellians as Frelser, was a legendary explorer and diplomat of the Galactic Republic. As an explorer, he found numerous planets outside the Outer Rim Territories in the Beta Expanse, being the first of the Galactic Republic to do so. In his role as a diplomat, he made contact with beings of different species and introduced their worlds into the Republic which helped them prosper. His first impression upon the beings he encountered would affect there views on the Republic, and he performed very well with peaceful species and civilizations. Tiberius also had the permission to command the Constitution, which became on of the most famous starships in history after it's exploration and combat missions it undertook.
One of the most important explorers in the early history of the galaxy, responsible for the findings of nearly seventy star systems on his enterprise over a span of thirty years, also credited with the discovery of nearly one hundred different species, languages, and cultures. He brought the Galactic Republic beyond the Outer Rim. He was a legend among spacers and pilots of his successful navigation of the thermobraic clouds outside the Beta Expanse. He was also the ancestor of individuals whom would affect billions throughout history, such as Judah Matthew Zaren and Victoria Engel Zaren.
February 15, 2009 – Second Battle of Bakura (Dark Order War)[]
The Second Battle of Bakura was one of the most pivotal battles of the Dark Order War. It was fought by the New Republic against the Dark Order of Korr, one of the most powerful Imperial Remnant factions existing at the time. Spiritually the successor to the Disciples of Ragnos, the Dark Order's top leadership consisted mainly of force users, led by the fallen Jedi Jaden Korr. The main reason Bakura was attacked was Jaden's presence on it, which prompted the dispatchment of a large Republic fleet, aiming to capture or kill the renegade before he could cause further damage to the galaxy. Jaden had already inflicted several severe blows to the New Republic within the first year of his leadership, with his attack on the Jedi Praxeum, the neutralization of one of the galaxy's largest shipyard planets, and a terror campaign launched against heavily populated planets.
The battle began in orbit, where the Dark Order's fleet was attacked by a Republic armada led by Supreme Commander Dagmar Morlev. Initially using the subsequent fleet engagement as a diversion, Morlev deployed a ground army on Bakura's surface, which marched to Salis Omega, the main Imperial stronghold where Jaden was located. Commanded by General Rogar Garret, the ground force moved west and engaged the Imperial army, which had been positioned to protect Salis Omega from the impending assault on short notice. Although Imperial troops were simultaneously under attack by rebel citizens in the nearby capital city, Salis D'aar, they held their ground against the advancing Republic forces. Stormtroopers and other Imperial infantry stationed in the city was forced to regroup several times in the hopes of putting down the rebellion, but took heavy losses due to numerical inferiority despite vehicle support.
While the battles raged in orbit, in the city, and outside Salis Omega, Jaden Korr was confronted inside the base by Darth Imperious, the apprentice of Darth Persia, the self-proclaimed Dark Lord of the Sith. Persia had infiltrated the Dark Order under the guise of a Dark Jedi and used his strategic and tactical prowess to build a power base for himself, hoping to usurp Jaden's rule and take control of the Order for himself and his apprentice. Imperious had been sent to the planet surface to kill Jaden, allowing Persia to gain the confidence of the other military leaders, many of which had lost their faith in the Dark Jedi. The Jedi Master Kyle Katarn also arrived, having traveled to Bakura to capture his former apprentice. Katarn's appearance prompted a three-sided duel inside the stronghold, during which Imperious was incapacitated. As a result, Darth Persia, who was commanding the Imperial fleet in orbit, was unable to sense his apprentice through the force and eventually came to the conclusion that he had been killed by Jaden. Fearing that the Dark Jedi would escape and pose a future threat to his own power, Persia ordered the fleet to execute a Base Delta Zero operation, bombarding and destroying the surface of the planet. Although Imperious and Katarn both managed to escape, Jaden Korr died in the holocaust and the New Republic fleet was routed.
February 22, 2009 – Exodus from Had Abaddon[]
The Exodus from Had Abaddon was one of the single most important events in the history of the galaxy, according to many historians, as it was responsible for the creation of the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi and, therefore, all of the events that followed that took place because of the Jedi Bendu, particularly the Kal'Shabbol Civil War and the foundation of the Galactic Republic. The conflict began when The Skywalker, who was then named Jedi Bendu while living as the adopted son of the King of Had Abaddon, found a group of slaves from the Ophuchi Tribe and realized he was one of them based on the powers that he and they shared. Days later, The Skywalker spoke to Yahweh, the creator of the universe, on Mount Sky who sent The Skywalker on a quest to free the Ophuchi from their enslavement.
The Skywalker later returned to face his brother Achab Tarea, who had become king in their father’s place, and with him he brought plagues from Yahweh that were used against the monarchy in an attempt to force it to free the Ophuchi. In the end, the Ophuchi were freed, but Achab changed his mind and entered into a duel with The Skywalker, a duel that The Skywalker won by killing Achab. The soldiers under the fallen king’s command followed the Ophuchi as they left the planet for Kal'Shabbol, the planet that was said to be the Promised Land, but the soldiers were stopped and killed due to divine intervention.
When the Ophuchi arrived on Kal'Shabbol, they began setting up a colony where they would be able to live. During that time, they formed the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi and began to put together their beliefs and ideals into a collective group. This event led to further colonization of the planet when settlers from many planets across the Ashlan Expanse heard about the exodus, though when the Eternal Order of the Vipera settled on the planet following the First Had Abaddon Civil War it also led to the Kal’Shabbol Civil War. Nevertheless, the event was said to have had mainly positive results based on the events that followed because of it.
March[]
March 1, 2009 – Kal'Shabbol Civil War[]
The Kal'Shabbol Civil War was a conflict on Kal'Shabbol between the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi and the Eternal Order of the Vipera, as well as the colonists of Ashla Prime and Vattica who sided with the Jedi Bendu. The conflict traced it’s origins to the aftermath of the Exodus from Had Abaddon which saw the collapse of the monarchy of Had Abaddon. The Eternal Order of the Vipera, which had been residing on Had Abaddon, was under the protection of the monarchy to avoid persecution for their darker yet quiet arts, and when the new monarchy rose to power they were forced to flee from persecution to Kal'Shabbol where they hoped to begin a new and peaceful life. However, because the Jedi Bendu had been responsible for the overthrowing of the monarchy, they became a taboo culture to the other colonists and the cultists developed an anti-social culture within a valley.
During one poor season, a famine overtook Kal'Shabbol and the Valley People believed that the Jedi Bendu were stealing their food. This led them to attack the Jedi Bendu, officially beginning combat operations. However, when the Valley People discovered the existence of the Force of Others, which they believed was a treasure, they demanded that it be given to them. They were angered when the Jedi Bendu offered to share it with them and continued the war. The war stretched on for nearly one year, forcing the colonists to eventually become involved, until the Valley People were finally able to discover the location of their supposed treasure. When they found it, they realized it was nothing more than the peace and love of Yahweh, the creator and God of the Universe.
The Valley People returned to their valley, ashamed of their actions during the war. Within weeks, cultist General Anguigena led most of his army in a ritualistic suicide, as the customs of the people dictated that it was the only way to atone for their crimes. The High Shaman Nazzereal was arrested and charged with crimes against sentience, and many of the other valley townspeople either assimilated into the colonies of Kal'Shabbol or moved to other worlds in the Ashlan Expanse. The aftermath of the war saw the Jedi Bendu fulfilling their mandate of establishing the Order of the Whills, and the legacy of the conflict was eventually one of the reasons that Fillorean, a Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic eighty-five thousand years after the war, caused the schism that saw the creation of the Jedi Order and the Bendu Order.
March 8, 2009 – Battle of Kothlis (Cruentusian War)[]
The Battle of Kothlis was a large battle that took place during the Cruentusian War. It occured when the Srav Federation, deciding to exploit the turmoil amongst the Necasian Military, launched an attack on the Necasian-controlled world of Kothlis, which was rich in resources and also a strategically located point. Outnumbered and taken by surprise, the Necasians dug in the Freta Archipelago, where their forces were concentrated. For two days they held out, fighting on land, sea, and air, with the Sravs gradually pushing forward along the Archipelago using island-hopping tactics, until the arrival of the Necasian figher ace Renard Curl, who turned the tide of the battle.
Although the battle did not massively impact on the course of the war, it came to be remembered as one of the bloodiest battles of the conflict, due to the loss of life on both sides and the brutality enacted by troops of both factions.
March 15, 2009 – Raymus Drewton[]
Raymus Antilles Drewton was a recruited Captain and excellent pilot in the Clone Army during the last days of the Galactic Republic. He was born on Naboo, a year after the birth of his brother, Tarisian. His father, Drazil Drewton, was assassinated in 32 BBY on the Legacy. Raymus himself was nearly killed by the assassin, barely escaping with his brother by crash-landed via escape pod on Dantooine, which was being attacked by the Kaleesh as a result of Drazil's death. After the battle, they were brought back to their homeplanet by Jedi Master Idnum-Ki.
Almost ten years later, Raymus and Tarisian joined the Republic Peace Keepers and fought skirmishes against the Nockudumey Terrorists. A few months later, they fought in the Battle of Geonosis and became recruits in the Clone Army. Raymus was soon promoted to the rank of Captain by Jaric Mothell at the Battle of Muunilist, where his actions saved the Republic from defeat.
Months into the war, he and his brother were captured by the Nockudumey. During their captivity, it was revealed that an assassin named Mecupa had killed their father. A skirmish which Raymus and Tarisian participated in followed the denouncement of Bodotor Thuvat, ending with the arrival of Republic forces which rescued the Drewtons forced the Nockudumey to retreat.
At the time of Order 66, he was temporarily the Captain of the Tantive IV, the starship of Senator Bail Organa, under the guise of the prince of Alderaan.
March 22, 2009 – Rhadé Sarasvati Nalanda[]
Rhadé Sarasvati Nalanda, also known as Rhadé Nalanda, was the Queen of Naboo from 32 BBY - 24 BBY and was Senator of the Chommell Sector from 24 BBY until her death in 22 BBY.
Displaying wisdom far beyond her years, as Queen, Nalanda managed to liberate her planet from the forces of the Trade Federation during the Naboo Crisis with the help of the Gungans. As Senator of Naboo, she was one of the members of the Loyalist Committee and was the public face for the campaign against the Military Creation Act. Nalanda fought tirelessly to stop the war that seemed to overwhelm the Republic, having seen the effects of war in her reign as Queen. She also arranged the Imbroglio Summit, managing to meet with Count Dooku prior to the beginning of the Clone Wars, despite two attempts made on her life. However, she was betrayed by Kanesh Dijoro and was killed during the Battle of Imbroglio by Jango Fett.
March 29, 2009 – Daklif Ordo[]
Daklif Ordo was a Human Mandalorian during the last days of the Galactic Republic. When the Mandalorians became all but extinct following the Battle of Galidraan, Ordo joined the Mandalorian Crusaders, a group of the last remaining Mandalorians, and fought in their nomadic battles. However, when crushed by a defeat, Ordo began to rethink his life and sought a purpose that was more than simply killing and violence. After learning of a terrorist organization called the Nockudumey, he infiltrated it and attempted to learn of its ways so that he would be able to destroy it. During the Clone Wars, Ordo assisted the Galactic Republic, though mostly because a Separatist Commander named Durge sought to destroy all Mandalorians. During the war, he attempted to kill the Nockudumey leader, Bodotor Thuvat, though only before learning of Thuvat's true goals. Thuvat was trying take the Nockudumey back to its founder's original intentions, which did not involve terrorism. Because of this, Daklif assisted him in the Nockudumey Civil Conflict.
April[]
April 5, 2009 – Travot Terrin[]
Travot Terrin was a Human Imperial Inquisitor born in 47 BBY on Dathomir. In his early age, Travot left Dathomir with his parents and settled on Taris, and was later found to be Force-sensitive, but wasn't allowed to join the Jedi Order. Travot grew up as an angered child, neglecting his own hygiene and social life, becoming a rejected individual amongst his peers. He associated with criminals and grew up despising the Galactic Republic, due to the poor condition his family lived in.
Regardless, he joined the ranks of soldiers fighting for the Republic, participating in all major events up to the Clone Wars. At one point in the Clone Wars, Travot and his legion were faced against a dark-sider of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and was intrigued by the dark side. When Palpatine reformed the Republic into the First Galactic Empire and founded the Inquisitorius, Travot immediately joined, becoming a Dark Jedi that same year.
As the years passed on, Travot gained more experience as a dark-sider and became a diligent combatant, focusing his studies on using the Force to enhance his abilities as a lightsaber duelist after choosing to use the double-bladed lightsaber. Five years after joining the Inquisitorius, Travot officially became an Imperial Inquisitor, at the same time that Bau Kora and Chanay were promoted. Travot was then partnered with the more experienced Si'va Morrer, and the two were involved in a mission to Ossus, where Travot killed K'Kruhk and was consequently defeated by Narod Antrell. Travot survived the encounter, but was later killed by Darth Vader for his failure.
April 12, 2009 – 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 "daddy's 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 for the constant abuse.
Her wish would eventually come true, when her father would attempt to murder her, and her brother. When she was in danger, Malik came to her rescue and killed their father in defense of her.
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. She did date briefly however, 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 gave in to her dark side when she brutally tortured, and killed her former boyfriend, Tiro. Proving that she was more than just a pretty face.
She would eventually be driven to a confrontation with her brother, one that saw no winner, and ended with the disappearance of the two.
April 19, 2009 – Ophuchi Sanctuary[]
The Ophuchi Sanctuary was the main location of the Ophuchi Clan in the Dune Sea on Tatooine. It was built nearly one thousand years before the Invasion of Utapau and was, essentially, one of the final resting places of the entire Prophecy of the Chosen One. There were numerous areas within the compound for residences, common areas and worship services. One of the more known but lesser used places of worship was a cave sanctuary nearly one kilometer away from the main compound, though it was used when Sarus told Annikin Skywalker that he was the Chosen One spoken of in prophecy.
Though there was little documented history on the sanctuary, it was known that the construction of it was credited to the Shaman of the Whills. In 1,045 BBY, the Shaman began appearing to many of the disorganized people that later became the first members of the Ophuchi Clan and led them to the area in the Dune Sea where they built the compound soon after. There was little documented evidence of the sanctuary's existence on Tatooine, though there were many rumors about it. Regardless, the respective local governments on the planet chose not to investigate it and, for reasons unknown, always dismissed any accounts of it as urban legends.
April 26, 2009 – Hayai Oujou[]
Hayai Oujou was a lightsaber form developed by Cyril Ahlen Khan in 3,872 BBY. The form was originally created from the techniques of various common lightsaber forms. Cyril had taken what he had considered to be the more useful moves from the forms, Makashi, Soresu, Ataru, Juyo, and Sokan and transitioned them into a single style. After a few years, however, the combat form took a unique route when it started to appear identical to Niman in both strengths and weaknesses. Khan kept the techniques he had put into his style, but he modified the execution and application of them.
Hayai Oujou grew into an anti-melee form that many sword masters considered to be powerful. It harnessed swift and unpredictable strikes that overwhelmed the opposition. One important advantage of the style was the use of never ending momentum. The immediate moment a strike would fail or a block was executed, the blade would move into the next motion without stopping or hesitating. The style seemed reckless, and when being used by an initiate or advanced student it very much was. Once training was fully completed, a student would have perfected the precision and grace the style needs. A master of the style could take what first appeared to be a reckless technique and deliver a series of chained techniques that could devastate opponents. Also, the form had interchangeable blocks and strikes. The statement, “Every strike is a block, and every block is a strike,” had been used to describe the style. This does not apply to every technique, but it does to a great many.
The style of Hayai Oujou was noted for its graceful, never-ending motions. It was also, however, noted for one unusual trait among sword forms. It had originally been designed to fit a combatant with a weighted sword, not a lightsaber. When applied to the metal sword the form was swift and overpowering. The effects of using a lightsaber were then much more astonishing. Seeing a Jedi apply this style did not fully reveal the fact that the style was originally designed for the weighted sword. Only the blaster defense techniques revealed this detail. Hayai Oujou was extremely vulnerable to ranged weapons. This weakness existed because a combatant with a weighted sword was not likely to stop the incoming fire anyway. The weighted sword was also used primarily in training, regardless of whether the trainee was to use a lightsaber later. Often times a Hayai Oujou master would not switch to the energy blade and remain with the metal one.

May 3, 2009 – Duel in the Phydah Forest[]
The Duel in the Phydah Forest was a duel that took place in 4 BBY in the Phydah Forest of Dantooine. The Jedi Knight Narod Antrell was taking a walk in the Phydah Forest one day to keep to himself and focus on his thoughts, meditating in the process. When he arose from his meditation, he realized a Human dressed in dark clothing with a fair complexion was heading towards him, and, through the Force, he could sense the being had the intent to harm him. The two fought, first with their lightsabers and then in hand-to-hand combat. Antrell won the duel, only to have the attacker disappear following the the conclusion of their fight. He later realized the attacker was merely an apparition created by his own mind and the Force, as a way for Antrell to deal with the stress that the Galactic Civil War had caused him.
May 10, 2009 – Invasion of Utapau[]
The Invasion of Utapau was a conflict between the Trade Federation and Utapau in 22 BBY. The conflict began after Senator Malus Palpatine and Queen Sabé Arcadia supported successfully passed Galactic Senate legislation that prevented Galactic Republic corporations such as the Trade Federation from using slave labor outside of Republic jurisdiction, thereby hurting a large part of Federation commerce and workforce. With help from Lord Maul, in the hopes of repealing the law, and for a degree of revenge, the Federation blockaded Utapau, choosing the planet because they felt it was relatively helpless.
After days of failed negotiations on the part of Arcadia, the Federation cut off all communication on the planet and began landing their invasion force. It did not take them long to control most of the seemingly peaceful planet, though while the Federation droid army was moving the citizens of the cities and villages into internment camps that they had built, Arcadia was able to escape where she eventually made it to Coruscant, albeit after a detour on Tatooine, to formally request assistance from the Galactic Senate.
While Arcadia was off of the planet, HoloNet news reports suggested that thousands had been killed by the Trade Federation and millions had been displaced. The Federation also converted underground factories into droid foundries to produce additional battle droid soldiers, and they began to search the swamps of the planet to destroy the settlements of the Gungan Empire.
May 17, 2009 – Zeltron Osteoporosical Monoamine Gangliate[]
Zeltron Osteoporosical Monoamine Gangliate, better known by its Imperial designation as ZO13, was a type of Imperial biological weapon that amounted to a genetically engineered viral pathogen. Based on an aborted project originally developed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, it was created by genetically engineered Zeltron antigens with added genetic codes from what were said to have been some of the most dangerous diseases in the galaxy. According to researchers, the disease itself was tailored not to discriminate when it came to victims.
The virus gained a reputation for the painful and slow death that beings who became infected with it supposedly suffered, and due to its tendency to spread in large-scale epidemics when administrated efficiently. It was also feared for its ninety percent death rate. During development, ZO13 was responsible for the destruction of several small civilizations, and it almost resulted in the destruction of all life on Utapau shortly after the Battle of Endor. However, ZO13 did not become a regular Imperial weapon due to the Emperor's lack of interest in it and the Imperial High Command's worry that it could do more harm than good. Nonetheless, it was still used in warfare during the Yuuzhan Vong War, albeit on a limited scale.
May 24, 2009 – Aiddat[]
Aiddat (pronounced /eɪdæt/) was a male Gran born on Malastare approximately four years after the rise of the Empire. He became a New Republic officer and Jedi. He was born the son of simple middle-class parents. As a child, his friends considered him a dreamer, but humble and content. At the time, Aiddat did not expect to even ever leave his homeworld. Late in the year 3 ABY, however, Aiddat was convicted of murder when he killed someone in self-defense as the result of a Force-triggered reaction. As traditional punishment, he was exiled from all Gran planets.
He soon joined the Rebel Alliance as a starfighter pilot late in the Galactic Civil War, and played a minor role in the Battle of Endor. To many, this battle was considered pivotal, since it resulted in the deaths of Emperor Palpatine and his Sith apprentice, Darth Vader. In the years following that battle, he became a flight commander for the New Republic.
After what his superiors considered to be exceptional performance in one military campaign, he was found to be strong in the Force and joined Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order. Master Gir Kagn was chosen to train Aiddat and another Jedi Initiate, a Vurk named Okl Qe'lad. Aiddat was a Jedi apprentice for ten years. When he was Knighted, he took Bob Shinmertarpi as his apprentice. Like Aiddat, Bob had served in the New Republic military prior to becoming a Jedi.
Aiddat and Bob served in the Yuuzhan Vong War, but in 26 ABY Aiddat became stranded on Erishpamhwen for the remainder of the war. His homeworld of Malastare was one of the many planets ravaged by the war. Three years after the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, he and Bob went on a mission to Malastare to help restore the world. The mission resulted in Aiddat being promoted to Jedi Master and Bob to Jedi Knight. Also, after thirty years of exile, Aiddat was pardoned by the government of Malastare. In the following years, he also participated in other conflicts in the era, such as the Swarm War and Second Galactic Civil War.
May 31, 2009 – Darth Taral[]
Darth Taral, previously Idnum-Ki, was a Cerean and Jedi Master during the last years of the Galactic Republic. As a Padawan, he had an interest, later leading to an obsession, of Sith holocrons. This entailed much discussion over him from the Jedi High Council, but at the time they merely dismissed it as curiosity. After being made a Jedi Master years later, he took Dular as his apprentice in 34 BBY when the Padawan was abandoned by his previous Master, Xarkun.
In 32 BBY, Idnum-Ki joined the Jedi Council of Seers, a group dedicated to stopping the return of the Sith. He did whatever necessary to stop their possible return, even if that meant killing Ibtiseh, a fellow Jedi who he had foreseen would indirectly cause the death of the Jedi Council members. During the same year, he participated in the Siege of Dantooine, in which he was turned to the dark side of the Force by an ancient Sith named Darth Desolous. Idnum gradually began to feed his own Padawan the same teachings, and made occasional visits to Dantooine for further training from Desolous, though he did not consider himself a Sith at the time.
By the time of the Clone Wars, Idnum-Ki had become a manipulative Dark Jedi. He placed seeds of doubt within his own Padawan, and used even Count Dooku, the leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, as a tool. He had grown powerful enough to strip the Force away from a Jedi or Sith, and conferred once with Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith.
June[]
June 7, 2009 – Regalon V[]
Regalon V was a satellite orbiting Regalon, the primary body of the Alon system. Regalon V was initially an independent planetoid; it was drawn into Regalon's orbit sometime before the formation of the Galactic Republic and remained in its gravitation pull. Over time, Regalon V continued to orbit the gas giant, becoming its fifth satellite.
Regalon V was initially a lush, jungle world, ruled by the native Re'Gloi people. When Regalon V joined Regalon as an orbiting body, however, the planet's climate experienced a massive change. As the water sources began to evaporate and the climate began to become more arid, the flora and fauna that were unaccustomed to the heat and dry environment began to dwindle and die. After a century of extinction and rising temperatures, the Re'Gloi people themselves perished, killed as their last settlement was destroyed under the ashes of the Arddo La volcano.
The planet itself remained abandoned for almost ten-thousand years, and it remained abandoned until it was rediscovered by Simeon Alkir during his brief rise to power. He temporarily settled the planet, building several training academies and shipwrights for his Regalak Empire. After his death, however, the planet was slowly evacuated, and by the time of the Clone Wars, the planet was once again abandoned.
However, Simeon's discovery of the Alon system allowed travelers and settlers to arrive on the planet and set up multiple mercantile outposts on the planet's desert surface. During the reign of the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, the Alon system was entered into the galactic databank, and it was frequently used as crossroads between the Outer Rim and the Unknown Regions. After the Sith Order of Decreto abandoned the world sometime around 140 ABY, the planet was abandoned yet again, its surface deserted and lifeless.
June 14, 2009 – Battle of Tahu (Cruentusian War)[]
The Battle of Tahu was a fairly large battle of the Cruentusian War. It occurred when the Death's Tongue Militia, having recently attacked the Necasian Military and Srav Federation and spread terror amongst their civilian populations as a result, decided to try and 'take some of the heat off [its] back' by tricking both other factions into attacking a decoy base on Tahu which they would disguise as a major base. The Death's Tongue Militia placed minimal forces on the planet, and instead goaded the local population into fighting for them, and laid many traps for the Necasians and Sravs. Arriving at the planet, the Sravs and Necasians came under heavy fire from Death's Tongue militants, rioting natives, and biological weapons laid by said militants, and for the duration of the battle went into an unofficial ceasefire, staying out of the other's way. Eventually, both sides tracked the Death's Tongue decoy base in the desert not far from the planet's main city and destroyed it. Both sides felt that they had dealt a heavy blow to the Death's Tongue Militia, whereas in reality they had only caused it moderate damage, and unwittingly caused its support to grow due to their treatment of the native populace.
June 21, 2009 – Darth Desolous[]
Darth Desolous was a Pau'an Dark Lord of the Sith who lived from the time of the reign of Darth Haagen to the Siege of Dantooine. Once a Jedi Master revered by the Jedi Order, his lust for battle led him to the dark side of the Force and in search of Sith teachings. Thus, he was expelled from the Jedi Order, took on his Sith name, and vowed to have his revenge. In a battle with the Jedi on Yaga Minor, the Sith Lord was defeated and thought to be killed, while in reality he gave up a life of war and chose to live in a small cave on Dantooine.
Many millennia later, Desolous trained the Jedi Idnum-Ki during the Siege of Dantooine and told him that he could ascend from simply being Jedi or Sith. In 2 BBY, a simulacrum of Desolous fought Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Galen Marek, inside the ruins of the Jedi Trials Chamber.
June 28, 2009 – Duel on Tatooine (ASWS)[]
The Duel on Tatooine was a brief duel on Tatooine during the Invasion of Utapau between Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul, a man who was believed by Kenobi and some members of the Trade Federation to be a Sith Lord, that resulted in the escape of Utapau Queen Sabé Arcadia from the planet. After discovering the possibility that Annikin Skywalker was the Chosen One and his subsequent swoop race victory resulting in his release from a sharecropping contract, he and Obi-Wan Kenobi were making their way to the Utapauan royal starship when they were attacked by Maul. Skywalker escaped to the ship, although Kenobi and Maul engaged in a brief lightsaber duel. The two fought on the desert floor before dueling on the ramp of the royal starship, although Kenobi was able to knock Maul back to the ground. After Kenobi also escaped onto the ship, he believed that Maul's combat abilities indicated that he was a Sith Lord, making it the first possible documented encounter between a member of the Jedi Order and a Sith Lord in nearly one thousand years.
July[]
July 5, 2009 – Obi-Wan Kenobi (ASWS)[]
Obi-Wan Kenobi, later known as Ben Kenobi, was a Human Jedi Knight during the Invasion of Utapau, a Jedi General during the Clone Wars, and an exiled Jedi during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Born on Dantooine, Kenobi became a member of the Jedi Order and trained under Jedi Grandmaster Yoda as a child, but he had not been chosen by a master to become an apprentice by his thirteenth birthday. Kenobi was assigned to the Jedi AgriCorps on Bandomeer, but after saving Jedi Master Jard Dooku from an assassination plot Kenobi was chosen by Dooku to be an apprentice. Kenobi trained under Dooku for many years before becoming a Jedi Knight.
In 22 BBY, in retaliation for the planet’s sponsoring of the Republic Anti-Slavery Law, the Trade Federation shipping cartel blockaded Utapau to cut it off from the galaxy. After one month of failed negotiations, Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic Finis Valorum sent Kenobi and Dooku to the blockade command ship as ambassadors to resolve the situation. The two Jedi were targeted for assassination, so they stowed away aboard Federation landing vessels that were used in the subsequent invasion of the planet. Kenobi and Dooku met Jar Binks, the exiled Crowned Prince of the Gungan Empire, who took them to the Gungan city Otoh Gunga for refuge from the Federation. After receiving transportation from the Gungans, the group freed Queen Sabé Arcadia and her advisers from Federation forces in the capital city of Ogana before escaping, along with the queen and a dozen of her guards and advisers, the planet. In order to make repairs to their escape vessel, they traveled to Tatooine, where a sandstorm further damaged the ship. Annikin Skywalker, a local moisture farmer, agreed to help repair the ship while the entire crew stayed on Skywalker's moisture farm.
After the crisis on Utapau, Kenobi participated in the Clone Wars, a conflict between the Republic and the Mandalorian Clans. In 7 BBY, Kenobi was an exiled Jedi due to the rise of the Galactic Empire and subsequent destruction of the Jedi Order. He kept in contact with Senator Bail Prestor Organa of Alderaan, and the two often spoke of Organa’s daughter, Princess Leia Organa.
July 12, 2009 – The Fanon Menace: A Day in the Life of a Stormtrooper[]
The Fanon Menace: A Day in the Life of a Stormtrooper was a spin-off miniseries from the YouTube series The Fanon Menace. It aired shortly after the show completed its first season, starting on July 1, 2008, and continuing for six weeks. It was six short episodes depicting the life of two stormtroopers, TK-421 and TK-422, during their first day on the Death Star.
However, the first day turned out to be extremely hectic for them. During orientation, the two stormtroopers learned the number one rule around the Death Star was "Do not remove your helmet", which was considered worse than forming a plan to overthrow the Empire. With both stormtroopers sent to solitary confinement, together, they soon discovered the relationship between Darth Vader and Princess Leia. Through a turn of events, they met up with the escaped convicts back at the detention block and witnessed two men, a Wookiee and a Force ghost Jedi free the Princess and escape.
In this look with what went on in the Death Star during Episode IV: A New Hope, audiences get a glimpse of what a day in the life of a stormtrooper really was like. It was directed by Seth Hoover and released through the same two companies as the main series, College Kids Productions and The League of Extraordinary Jedi. It was also the beginning of what would be a continuous broadcasting of mini-series in between each season of The Fanon Menace.
July 19, 2009 – Siege of Dantooine[]
The Siege of Dantooine was a battle in 32 BBY that followed and partially resulted from the Attack on the Legacy. Originally, the Kaleesh had come to negotiate with the Republic. However, when Senator Drazil Drewton, acting as ambassador for the Republic, did not arrive, they thought that they had been tricked and therefore attacked Khoonda, the autonomous government of Dantooine. Not only Kaleesh assisted in the fight against Khoonda, but also Trade Federation B1 battle droids, mercenaries, and the Mandalorian Crusaders. Ludge Ganler himself, the administrator of Khoonda, was captured, along with Tarisian and Raymus, the sons of Drazil Drewton and sole survivors of the previous assassination attempt.
Searching for the captives, Jedi Master Idnum-Ki entered a cave in which he instead found the Pau'an Sith Darth Desolous. After brief resistance from the Jedi, Desolous taught him much of the dark side of the Force which Idnum would use in the concurrent battle. Meanwhile, his Padawan Dular located the captive Drewtons and freed them.
The Jedi then rejoined the battle, and Idnum-Ki fought against General Sheelal in a lightsaber duel. As he himself was not a Force sensitive, Qymaen was no match for Ki's abilities, and he watched as the Dark Jedi turned the tide of the battle in favor of the Republic with Battle Meditation. Though the defeated General was allowed to escape, Khoonda was victorious, and celebrated hours after the conclusion of the battle.
July 26, 2009 – Battle of Ahara (Cruentusian War)[]
The Battle of Ahara was a battle of the Cruentusian War. It occured when the elite Rakata commando group the Lost Ones, cut off from their civilisation, arrived on the desert world of Ahara to activate a secret cadre of Infinite Empire droids, having obtained the powerful artifact known as the Hand of Darkness several months before. However, in the process they destroyed a spy outpost on the world belonging to the Necasian Military, which managed to send off a distress call. Both an elite Necasian squad led by Necasian hero Haveer Jarn and a group of Srav Hammer Division troops led by Jarn's counterpart Nataska Vergulva picked up the distress call and arrived on the planet, and both had to reluctantly work with each other against the Ratakan droid legions. Meanwhile, the Zayre heroine Storm Ironwings would also participate in the battle, engaging the Lost Ones leader Ravyr in a violent duel. Nonetheless, with the combined efforts of the two commando groups, Ravyr was defeated and the Lost Ones were forced to flee, with their temple on the planet being razed by a Srav nuclear strike.
August[]
August 2, 2009 – Mace Windy[]
Mace Windy was a male Human Jedi Master on the Jedi High Council during the Invasion of Utapau. Born on Haruun Kal, Windy was taken into the Jedi Order when he was six months old. Trained by Jedi Master T'ra Saa, Windy rose through the ranks to become a respected member of the Jedi High Council, the youngest in history at the time of his appointment to the council. During the Invasion of Utapau, Windy was the Jedi Master of Jedi Padawan Padmé Naberrie, whom he described as the best apprentice he had ever trained.
In 22 BBY, shortly after the beginning of the armed conflict on Utapau, Windy, at the behest of Jedi Grandmaster Yoda, traveled to Kamino to investigate a Republic Senate report that the Kaminoans were creating a clone army to be used against the Republic. After arriving on Kamino and speaking with the planet’s Supreme Leader, Windy discovered that the army was being created to be used by the Republic, not against it. He did, however, feel that the Kaminoans were deceiving him, so after leaving Kamino he set out to find Jango Fett, the genetic host of the clones, to gather more information on the situation.
After his investigations, Windy participated in the Clone Wars. The Journal of the Whills later referred to him as a warrior who received mainstream galactic recognition.
August 9, 2009 – SB-3 frigid super battle droid[]
The SB-3 frigid super battle droid, more commonly known as snow droids, were a modification of the basic Confederate super battle droids used by the Trade Federation, Confederacy of Independent Systems, the New Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Droid Empire. Snow droids were created specially by Baktoid Combat Automata, the main droid manufacturer of the Confederacy, to solve the problem of regular battle droids and super battle droids performing lower than usual standards in icy environments. They were considered to be very effective and the snow droids were much taller than the other droids. They wore white plating and were capable of handling a handheld blaster and the blaster mounted to their wrist.
Snow droids won and lost many battles during the Clone Wars. Major battles they fought in included the battles of Rhen Var, Diado, and Mygeeto. After the universal control signal, the main control signal of all the battle droids on every planet, was disabled, snow droids, like all other droids, were shut down. However, after the Clone Wars, they indirectly inspired the Galactic Empire's snowtroopers, because the Empire knew that they needed a special unit for use on the snowy terrain, to increase efficiency in terrains their basic unit could not.
August 16, 2009 – Squishy Vic Series[]
The Squishy Vic Series, abbreviated as SVS, is a series of Star Wars fanon works created in 2005 by Victor Dorantes. The series' name was derived from Dorantes's nickname "Squishy Vic," which he received in 2004. The series is based in the Star Wars universe, and Dorantes attempts to follow Star Wars canon as closely as possible. The series has been made available on the internet through uploads on Star Wars Fanon, the Star Wars wiki of fan invention, of Wikia. Mirroring Wookieepedia, Wikia's Star Wars wiki, Dorantes has documented his works on Star Wars Fanon.
The SVS includes numerous works, mostly written, created by Dorantes. This includes the 2009 novel Acceptance, which focuses on Jedi Order purge-survivors Narod Antrell and Zeri Undis, and its 2010 sequel Deliverance; the Old Republic novella The Fallen, which focuses on Darth Malum, Sith Lord of the New Sith Empire; the reference works The Essential Guide to the Squishy Vic Series and Into the Realm of Star Wars; and the visual and audio media The Darkness of Phydah and SVS: The Soundtrack.
August 23, 2009 – Banik Kelrada[]
Banik Kelrada was the Grandmaster of the Jedi Order during the early days of the Alsakan Crisis of 13,000 BBY, and later an outcast Jedi Master following the events during and after the Conclave on Ossus that sparked a schism amongst the Jedi, creating the Ospion Guardians. Born on Coruscant, he was taken into the Order as an infant, and during his training he came to be seen as a skilled duelist by his masters. When he was eighteen years old, Banik was enslaved by a mining company in the Outer Rim Territories during a failed mission with his master, who was killed by the slavers. Although he initially attempted escape, the plot failed and he remained in custody, during which time he met and fell in love with a woman named Al'eal. Al'eal, however, was killed while saving Banik’s life, after which Banik was finally able to escape from the slavers and return to Coruscant. After psychological testing and a brief retraining period, Banik faced his Jedi Trials and was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight.
Many years later, Banik became a Jedi Master and was granted a seat on the Coruscant Jedi Council, the Jedi governing body in the Great Jedi Pyramid on Coruscant. He later became the Grandmaster of the Coruscant Council, giving him a seat on the Jedi High Council, and after then-Jedi Grandmaster Sarus Kappa resigned from his post, Banik was elected Grandmaster of the Jedi Order. Around this same time, the Alsakan Crisis of 13,000 BBY between the Galactic Republic and the Alsakan Union broke out after Coruscant was invaded and captured by the Alsakan Union, a religious organization seeking to claim control of Coruscant.
After the conflict began, Banik attempted to negotiate peace efforts between the Galactic Republic’s Supreme Chancellor Relana Isolde Tanoor and the Alsakan Vicar Lharra, in the hopes of avoiding a full-scale war, but Lharra was assassinated while meeting with Banik at the Jedi Enclave on Ossus and the Alsakans implicated Banik in the crime. One week later, Banik called and led the Conclave on Ossus. During the event, he was said to have had a psychotic break and was accused of murdering Jedi Master Edo Tesu, whom Banik had claimed to be a traitor. Although Banik was arrested for the murder, he was able to escape Ossus with the help of two other Jedi Knights and head for safe haven on Onderon.
August 30, 2009 – Battle of Slavabrya (Cruentusian War)[]
The Battle of Slavabrya was a fairly large battle of the Cruentusian War. It occurred when the Necasian Military assaulted a Srav base on the planet of Slavabrya, but heavy Srav resistance, coupled with bungling on part of the Necasians, stymied Necasian efforts. The Necasians attempted to launch an assault on a town where the Sravs were concentrated, only for their tank divisions to be repelled in the fields outside. Necasian regular and elite infantry made abortive progress in the town, but were eventually neutralized.
Following this, the Necasians launched an attack on a Srav missile base, which failed due to carelessness on the part of the troops and a rapid Srav response. With confidence in victory dropping, Necasian leader Askar Invado ordered the Necasians to commence guerilla operations. In response, the Sravs dropped orbital satellites onto their positions, causing heavy casualites and morale loss. Shortly thereafter, Srav commander Vlad Mutin arrived to assume command of the battle. Claiming that his actions would preserve Srav lives, Vlad destroyed several towns the Necasians were using to retreat with nuclear weaponry. With the Necasians driven away, the Sravs celebrated their victory.
September[]
September 6, 2009 – Project Jedimca0[]
Project Jedimca0 was a venture by a team of scientists from the New Republic towards attempting to replicate the cloning techniques of the Kaminoans, the creators of the first clones, prior to the Clone Wars, in which the Republic's Grand Army of clones battled with the Trade Federation. The project was named 'Jedimca0' after the Jedi Order, as the planned Clone Army, like the Jedi, were supposed to stand for peace and kindness throughout the galaxy, as planned by Caloi. The 'mca' part was an abbreviation of 'Males of Caloi's Army', and each Clone was given a number. As such, the project was named Project Jedimca0. Iaku Caloi, leader of the scientists, realized that the New Republic would never condone such a project, and so he conducted it in secret.
He planned the army to be a part of the New Republic once it was created. The original clones did not survive for longer than a weak, due to health issues, whilst, in the second batch, one Clone died within the month. However, the second batch did survive until adulthood, however were killed by the scientists due to being considered by the scientists to be too weak. The third batch were created and designed to be far more warlike. Eventually, they turned against their masters, killing all but Caloi and one other scientist and escaping, although one was killed in the fire they had started. Caloi, killing the other scientist, continued the project alone, this time working on a female clone. The female Clone had not yet grown to adulthood when the project was eventually discovered by Hiram Drayson, an Admiral of the New Republic who shut it down and arrested Caloi, freeing Janna0, the female Clone. Project Jedimca0 became the subject of many media jokes and political satires when the public eventually discovered it, whilst only two clones from the project were recorded to have lived on after it.
September 13, 2009 – Jard Dooku[]
Jard Dooku was a Human Jedi Master during the Invasion of Utapau. He had once been the master of Xanatos, who later tried to assassinate Dooku on Bandomeer. The assassination was unsuccessful as Obi-Wan Kenobi, a rejected Jedi Padawan assigned to the Jedi AgriCorps mine on the planet, was able to stop it before hand. This prompted Dooku to take Obi-Wan as his apprentice, and they trained together for many years under strained circumstances as their views conflicted with one another’s. After the Stark Hyperspace War between the Galactic Republic and the Stark Commercial Combine, Obi-Wan became a Jedi Knight, although he and Dooku still worked together. One such occasion was when Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum sent them as ambassadors to resolve the Trade Federation’s blockade of Utapau. Once they arrived on the command ship, Dooku and Obi-Wan were targeted for assassination and fled for the planet, where Gungan Prince Jar Binks agreed to take them to the Gungan city Otoh Gunga for refuge.
September 20, 2009 – Veruna Arcadia[]
Veruna Arcadia was a Human male member of the royal House of Arcadia and the King of Utapau, ruling the planet until his assassination in 24 BBY. After his death, Arcadia was succeeded by his daughter, Sabé Arcadia, who served into the Invasion of Utapau. Arcadia was remembered by his people as one of the more unpopular rulers from the House of Arcadia, having lost the trust of the majority of the planet's citizens. Most of the issues of his rule were due to his controversial security policies. Along with Utapau's Senator, Malus Palpatine, Arcadia supported the right of the Trade Federation to purchase plasma discovered on the planet at a fixed cost.
After dealing with the Federation for some time, the planet's government discovered that the Federation was cheating Utapau out of money by selling the plasma to buyers at a higher price. Utapau pulled out of the deal and, fearing a military confrontation with the Federation, Arcadia expanded the size of the planetary defense forces. Shortly thereafter, he was assassinated due to his controversial security decisions. Arcadia was succeeded by his daughter, who reversed many of her father's policies that were widely considered to be unpopular by the planet's citizens.
September 27, 2009 – Te'Nilag[]
Te'Nilag, which meant Engulf in Sith language, was a Sithspawn creature created by the dark side organization known as the Sons of Bogan. Created by alchemist Char Nel in the years following the collapse of the Dark Lord Naga Sadow's Sith Empire in in 4,990 BBY. Te'Nilag's masters could not control him, and it ended up wandering space via the otherspace pocket dimension for years. It resurfaced near the Mid Rim moon of Farlon V several decades later. Since Te'Nilag was a wound in the Force, Te'Nilag had the ability to absorb the Force from objects the size of planetoids; it utilized this ability to devour Farlon V. After the destruction of Farlon V, Te'Nilag saved Nergal, a warrior of unknown origin, from near death and made him its physical avatar in the galaxy.
When the Jedi Order heard of the destruction of Farlon V, the Jedi sent who they considered to be their most able-bodied Force-sensitives to destroy the creature. The Jedi constructed a temple on Jiaan that drew upon the the light side of the Force and lured Te'Nilag to the planet. Te'Nilag arrived on the planet several months later and attempted to destroy them, although the temple bound it to a Force-sensitive artifact located inside the temple. This sealed the Sithspawn away; however, Nergal was still active in the galaxy and searched for a way to save his master from captivity.
It was not until 90 ABY that Nergal received his chance to rescue Te'Nilag. Igniting rumors that the Sith were reuniting on Jiaan, Nergal fooled the New Jedi Order into sending an attack force to the planet. Once they arrived, Nergal found the squad's lieutenant, Zark Morean, and tricked him into destroying the artifact that locked Te'Nilag away. Upon Te'Nilag's release, the Sithspawn killed Morean by stripping him from the Force before destroying the remainder of the planet. Te'Nilag was allowed to roam free for several years before it was finally defeated over Xaava III by a Jedi strike force under Jedi Master Arnul Strassburg.

October 4, 2009 – Leia Organa (ASWS)[]
Leia Organa was the Princess of Alderaan during the reign of the Galactic Empire. She was the daughter of Imperial Senator Bail Organa and Alderaanian Queen Breha Organa, as well as the adoptive sister of Winter Celchu. Organa grew up in the Aldera Palace as a member of Alderaan’s high society, although she later became friends with and developed feelings for a nerf herder named Epin Lanmaw, who was the same age as her. As a member of the noble class, Organa attended Madame Vesta's Select Academy in the capital city of Aldera, and as of 7 BBY she was set to attend a matching event, which she felt would force her into an unwanted relationship.
Years later, the Sith Lord Darth Vader attempted to make Organa his secret Sith apprentice after the princess had discovered she had a darker side within the Force.
October 11, 2009 – Epin Lanmaw[]
Epin Lanmaw was a nerf herder from the Lanmaw family on the planet Alderaan, as well as a friend of Alderaanian Princess Leia Organa. Lanmaw was able to cultivate this friendship with Princess Organa after telling her that he thought she was pretty, despite her being from a different economic and societal class than him. Lanmaw had a somewhat tense relationship with his father, Sadvo Lanmaw, who frequently beat his son physically for what he felt were his son’s failures and shortcomings. Eventually, Lanmaw began having dreams about an unidentified woman who would point him to the Ophuchi Mountains on Alderaan, although he did not know the significance of the visions.
October 18, 2009 – Panaka (ASWS)[]
Panaka was the captain of the Utapau Security Forces during the reigns of King Veruna Arcadia and, later, Queen Sabé Arcadia. Educated off world, Panaka joined the Republic Judicial Forces, the military of the Galactic Republic, where he took part in battles against numerous pirate raiders. Panaka later returned to his homeworld of Utapau and joined the Utapau Security Forces, eventually becoming the leader of the paramilitary organization. He continued to serve in the position during the Invasion of Utapau, a conflict between the Trade Federation shipping cartel and Utapau, where he unsuccessfully attempted to mount a resistance against the Trade Federation Droid Army during the Battle of Ogana in the capital city. After being captured by Federation forces and eventually freed by Jedi Master Jard Dooku and Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, Panaka led the Jedi and the queen to a hangar to board the queen’s starship which escaped the blockade of the planet and headed for Tatooine.

He was also regarded by those on Alderaan to have been a hero of the Clone Wars, a conflict that took place before the Galactic Empire came to power and replaced the Galactic Republic. Around 19 BBY, Organa and his wife, Queen Breha Organa of Alderaan, adopted a daughter whom they named Leia Organa. They later adopted Winter Celchu, the daughter of one of Queen Organa's late handmaidens. Organa also kept in contact with a Jedi Knight named Obi-Wan Kenobi, even after the rise of the Empire, to discuss the well-being of Princess Leia, particularly after she began associating herself with a young nerf herder named Epin Lanmaw.

November 1, 2009 – L337 Model BFG blaster rifle[]
The L337 Model BFG blaster rifle was a long-range heavy assault weapon manufactured by Rheshalva Interstellar Armaments which was marketed to sportsmen and mercenaries. A comparatively large weapon, the L337 utilized Rheshalva's then-newly-developed phase-plasma technology, giving the rifle a vast range and high power level, which was the company's main selling point. The technology caused the blaster rifle to have a dangerous recoil when fired, which sometimes caused injury to the users. The weapon accumulated a sizable collection of accident reports pertaining to the recoil, but Rheshalva decided to keep the L337 on store shelves. It was not until the accidental death of a user that Rheshalva finally pulled the weapon off the market, abandoning the phase-plasma technology.
November 8, 2009 – Chamberlyn (ASWS)[]
Chamberlyn was a Human male lieutenant in the Utapau Security Forces and a member of the Veermok Resistance, a rebel group opposed to the Trade Federation shipping cartel's occupation of Utapau during the invasion of the planet in 22 BBY. Born on Utapau in 51 BBY, Chamberlyn was educated at a university, where he wrote a thesis on Jonathan Bac, the first Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. He later joined the Utapau Security Forces and lost his eye during a training incident.
After the Trade Federation invaded Utapau due to the planet’s support of the Republic Anti-Slavery Law, a law that Chamberlyn supported, he and a number of politicians from Queen Sabé Arcadia's Advisory Council joined together and formed the Veermok Resistance to forcibly oppose the Federation’s occupation. During the Rebellion in Ogana, Chamberlyn’s men discovered the Federation protocol droid TC-14 wandering the streets and captured it. Chamberlyn reprogrammed the droid to gather information on the Federation. Chamberlyn and his forces located an injured Rune Haako, a Federation executive, while escorting TC-14 back to Federation territory, so Chamberlyn had his men bring Haako to the resistance headquarters to heal him. Chamberlyn later confronted the Neimoidian, who did not understand why Chamberlyn would aide an enemy commander.
November 15, 2009 – Rune Haako (ASWS)[]
Rune Haako was a Neimoidian male member of the Trade Federation shipping cartel during the Invasion of Utapau in 22 BBY, serving as Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray’s personal adviser. In this position, he was one of the commanders of the Utapau invasion, serving aboard the lead blockade vessel orbiting Utapau in the month prior to the commencement of the invasion. After the planet was secure, Haako and Gunray oversaw the ongoing planetary subjugation from Ogana, the capital city of Utapau, where they eventually learned that the planet's queen, Sabe Arcadia, had managed to escape Federation custody and, subsequently, the planet.
