These Then Are The Force Wars

The Force Wars were a ten year long series of conflicts that took place on Tython more than seven centuries before the formation of the Galactic Republic. They were considered the first conflicts between the followers of the light and dark sides of the Force. The Force Wars originally began as an invasion by the forces of the Rakatan Infinite Empire.

While the Rakatan threat was diminished, a schism grew within the Order between those of Daegen Lok's followers, and the Je'daii Council. Eventually the two groups were defined by an ideology divided between the use of the Ashla, or light side of the Force, and the followers of the Bogan, otherwise known as the dark side of the Force. Both sides utilized the traditional metal swords augmented through the Force, as well as the Bogan Je'daii fighting with Forcesabers. When the Ashla Je'daii reorganized as the Jedi under the leadership of a High Council, peace seemed imminent until the defection of revered Master Rajivari. Holing up within Kaleth, Rajivari's followers fought to the death, and were subsequently defeated.
