Jedi Order

The Jedi Order was an ancient monastic peacekeeping organization unified by its belief and observance of the Light Side of the Force. The Jedi were the guardians of peace and justice in the Republic, and became perhaps the most well known of the various groups that relied on the Force for their power. They were the nemeses of the Sith, followers of the Dark Side of the Force who shared an ancestral history with the Jedi.

The precursors of the Jedi, the Djedah were formed many tens of thousands of years prior to the formation of the Jedi. After the Djedah Civil War in 3,997 BBY, the Sith Dynasty was born on the planet of Korriban and the Djedah Empire relocated from Djedah to Tython. Led by the rogue Djedah Evvret Darth, the Sith retaliated in the War of Revelations several decades later in 3,940 BBY. Although the war was a loss for both factions, the Djedah relocated to the planet of Gameth where they reformed into the Jedi Order in 3,934 BBY.

Living in peace for many thousands of years, the Jedi returned to the known galaxy in 3120 BBY when the Sith Dynasty began attacking the fledgling Republic, defeating the Sith and helping the Republic confine them to Korriban for almost 100 years.

Despite their victory, the Sith later returned in the form of the Sith Empire. During the Great Annexing, the Sith invaded the Republic once more and conquered the Core Worlds, causing the Jedi Order to fragment in the year 3024 BBY.
