Djedah Empire

The Djedah Empire, sometimes called the Old Jedi Empire, was an ancient authoritarian government that existed on the planet Djedah. It was the ruling government of the Djedah, an order of Force-sensitives that was the precursor of the Jedi Order.

Formed in 5,800 BBY, the Djedah Empire stood peacefully for tens of thousands of years until in 3,997 BBY, a Holy Scholar named Evvret Darth was imprisoned by the Empire for questioning the Emperor's will. After three years imprisoned, he was broken out of prison and began the Djedah Civil War. After the Empire defeated Darth's rogue followers, he and his children, Hyst and Embak, were exiled.

The Empire was forced to relocate from Djedah to the planet Tython after Darth returned with the newly formed Sith Dynasty searching for revenge. The War of Revelations led to the Empire and the Dynasty being heavily crippled after the Tython Bloodbath. The Djedah decided that they had to reform their ways in order to protect themselves against the Sith and so they transformed into the Jedi and the Jedi Order. They culled their civilian population and relocated to the planet Gameth, leaving Tython in burning ruins.
