A
Brief History of the JEDI REPUBLIC; PART II
With such a discovery, the baffled Jedi of that
day set out on a hunt for information regarding
this strange artifact, one that was hidden right
under their noses..
But, more importantly, an intergalactic war was
being fought at the time. Strangly enough, the
leader of the opposing forces was a former Jedi.
This particular Jedi had often fought in battles
for the Republic, but after one such battle, he,
and the entire fleet at his command, came back
changed... This valient Jedi had fallen to the
Dark Side.
Years of bloodshed ensued between the Republic
and the minions of Darkness. The Jedi Council of
the time was very strong, and thousands of Jedi
from around the galaxy had been trained. The
Jedi/Sith war raged on with even more intensity,
a war started not out of greed, but rather a
disagreement on ideals.
The Sith of this day like those found now were
mearly the followers of an ideal, a Sith was
originally a species, not a follower of a
religion. Sith were not always twisted and evil,
but rather a very proud race, a race with
tremendous power. The Sith held a huge Empire,
stretching even further than the Republic would
years later. The source of their power was from
a machine called the Star Forge, a massive
"factory" that ran off of the
incredible energy created by Stars.
The machine itself was like a living being, it
craved power, and went to any lengths necessary
to gain its indulgance. The Star Forge corrupted
its users, and eventually those Sith came to be
what we now know them as. The race that was the
Sith finally realized the source of the
corruption, and they cast the Star Forge deep
into space. But, in doing so they destroyed the
only thing keeping their massive and rebellious
Empire in check. The ensuing civil war destroyed
the remaining Sith, only those who had been
corrupted survived, and thus the Sith lived on,
no longer the grand race of their predecssors,
but rather twisted and evil peoples, corrupted
by their own thirst for power.
