Legend

formed after the destruction of the Dozen-and-Two Avengers at Helska, this band of vigilantes was led by Kyp Durron. They were classified by the New Republic military as a support unit, provided that drop the "Avengers" from their name. The group was made up of Durron and eleven combat veterans who had come out of retirement to fight back against the Yuuzhan Vong. They traveled to Kalarba, hoping to intercept the Yuuzhan Vong ship carrying Wurth Skidder. They managed to overtake the Creche', but were unable to cripple it. The Creche' jumped into hyperspace, bound for Fondor to meet with the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. Kyp's Dozen followed the ship to Fondor, but were too late to rescue Skidder. Kyp and his squadron vowed to avenge Skidder's death, further dividing themselves from the rest of the Jedi Knights. However, as Kyp's own personal agenda began to take less precedence over the needs of the galaxy, Kyp's Dozen began to work more closely with the New Republic Navy, until they were an accepted part of the armed forces. It was Admiral Traest Kre'fey who requested that Kyp's Dozen be fully reinstated to the military, in the wake of the Second Battle of Coruscant.
