Odan-Urr begins to teach a new interpretation of the Jedi Code at his library/school on Ossus, one that emphasizes emotional control. Urr believes that any emotion, even positive ones such as love and loyalty, can blind Jedi to the will of the Force. In time his teachings come to be adopted by the entire Order.

4,996 BSW4

The ‘Jedi Shadows’ are formed, a secretive band of Jedi Knights who devote much of their time to gathering information on the users of the Dark Side of the Force, including the Sith. They are often charged with infiltrating Sith territory in order to gather information.

A fierce series of wars occur on the world Mon Calamari (then known as "Dac"), between the surface-dwelling Calamari and the underwater Quarren. The primitive Quarren were jealous of the more advanced Mon Calamari, and were driven by a fanatic pride. The Quarren, despite the overwhelming odds, fight until only just over a million of them are left – all prisoners of the Mon Calamari. In the most daring social experiment of their history, the Mon Calamari attempt to civilize the Quarren and bring the two races to an equal level. They ruthlessly separate the Quarren young and teach them relentlessly for a decade, then return them to their elders. The younger Quarren were forced to defeat and kill their recalcitrant elders, then restart their civilization and tie them with the Calamari in an uneasy peace that continues into the Imperial era and beyond.
“SW RPG: Death in the Undercity.” Date is conjecture.

c. 4,470 BSW4

Freedon Nadd, a Jedi apprentice of unequalled enthusiasm and dedication, approaches what he believes to be the end of his apprenticeship and promotion to Jedi Knight. However, when the time comes, the Jedi Masters refuse to grant him the title. Stunned at this contradictory action, he seeks the advice of Master Matta Tremayne, who tells him “some things you must find in yourself.” She will not tell him what is keeping him from Knighthood. Enraged, he murders Tremayne, steals a ship, and flies toward the worlds of the former Sith Empire.
“SW RPG: Tales of the Jedi Sourcebook.” [Page 69-70]

c. 4,465 BSW4

After several years of searching, Freedon Nadd comes upon the planet Yavin IV. He briefly battles the Massassi, which by this point have degenerated into savages – but his vicious ways with the Force awakens memories within them. They bring him to the ancient temples, where he finds and revives Naga Sadow from his cryogenic slumber. Sadow spends the rest of his natural life training Nadd in the ways of the ancient Sith.
“The Essential Chronology.”

c. 4,450 BSW4

Freedon Nadd comes to a primitive world called Onderon, on the (then) outer edges of the Republic. He subjugates and rules over the planet, bringing to the walled civilization of Iziz (Onderon’s only city) the dark power of the Sith. He institutes a policy of banishing criminals (those who would not worship him) out into the lethal jungles of Onderon to die. The policy backfires, however...

4,400 BSW4

Chamma begins his service as a Jedi Knight. His first mission as a Jedi (answering a distress call on the planet Athiss) is a total disaster: Attacked by a spirit of the Dark Side, he panics and turns to anger to destroy the beast. Convinced the Force had betrayed him (it gave no warning of the creature), he abandons his fellow Jedi and spends the next century in seclusion on the barren planet H?ratth.

4,300 BSW4

Chamma?s solitude on H?ratth is disturbed by the arrival of a Miralukan Jedi named Noab Hulis, who explains to him what happened on Athiss a century before. The creature that had attacked him was an escapee from the fall of the Sith Empire, and he and two others had lured Chamma and his two friends there in hopes of breaking them and turning them into new Sith acolytes. The reason the Force had not warned him or aided him was because the Dark Side had momentarily disconnected him from the Light. Chamma breaks down into tears as he realizes the Force had not betrayed him ? he had betrayed the Force. Noab then adds that his defeat of the one dark being had scared off the two others, saving the lives and souls of his friends. He offers to take Chamma to Ossus to restart his training, and the fallen apprentice gratefully accepts.

The planet Tatooine is settled by offworld miners. The oldest city on Tatooine, Anchorhead, is established near the site of a very deep well. When the ore mined from the planet proves substandard, many miners abandon the newly-created colony. This pattern is repeated over thousands of years.

Conjecture based upon “Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith.”

4,156 BSW4

Thanks to a buildup of toxic pollution, the few agrarian areas of the city-planet Taris are gripped by famine. The rich citizens hoard food, leaving the poor to starve. Class warfare soon escalates to civil warfare, and after much destruction and death (in the millions), the surviving poor are permanently banished to the horrid Undercity of the planet. Lost during this war is a self-sufficient colony founded just prior, a “Promised Land” beneath the Undercity and tended by droid workers. The banished poor hope against hope that someday, this Promised Land will be rediscovered.

The Hyabb-Twith Campaigns take place between the Jedi and the Nelori Marauders of Dachat at the Hyabb-Twith Corridor (a disputed parsec on the spinward arc of the Core Worlds that had been embroiled in conflict since the birth of the Republic). Jedi Master (and master swordsman) Arca Jeth plays a key role in resolving the conflict.

Czerka Corporation helps to establish the then-latest mining colony on Tatooine, centered around the community of Anchorhead. Many unfortunate encounters with the indigenous Tusken Raider tribes in the area over the next century will inflame relations between the Czerka colonists and the Sand People, almost to the point of open warfare. As the years pass, the local ores will gradually peter out, forcing the colony to once again become abandoned until another entrepreneurial group takes up the task. The Jedi Knight Sidrona Diath settles on Tatooine during this attempt to colonise the planet. His son, Dace Diath, is trained in the ways of the Jedi while living here.

?SW RPG II: Secrets of Tatooine Sourcebook,? [Page 18] and ?Knights of the Old Republic.? Josh Ehrnwald: It seems likely that the colony resided in by Master Sidrona Diath and his son would also be the most recent one leading into the years of KOTOR; Anchorhead's size in the game suggests at least a century of growth.

4,015 BSW4

Around this time, the Ukatis system is interdicted by its own King. He prefers to keep his people starving and poor, and closed off from the galaxy at large, the more easily oppressed. The Galactic Senate attempts to negotiate a peace settlement, but as happens all too frequently with the bureaucracy, the discussions go absolutely nowhere. So the brash Jedi Padawan Jolee Bindo decides not to wait any longer. Quite the young hellion (even to the Jedi Council), foolish and eager to take on the galaxy, Bindo always does things his way. With the help of a partner (Andor Vex?), he acquires a ship and begins smuggling food and water to the Ukatis system, through the blockade.

However, not all of his food and supplies are exactly acquired by...legal means. Many of them are "liberated" from those well off enough to afford a small loss, yet who are unwilling to contribute to the liberation effort. Jolee considers it to be "a tax on the greedy." At one point, however, his luck runs out, when he and his partner are intercepted by an Ukatian frigate and are shot down over the planet. Although, this incident turns out to be quite the turn of fortune for the Jedi, as he first meets his future wife not long after the crash.

"Knights of the Old Republic." Entry by Josh Ehrnwald. Dating approximate, but is placed shortly before the First Sith War, considering that Jolee returns to the Jedi ranks to fight alongside his fellow comrades during the conflict.

4,014 BSW4

Jolee Bindo decides to begin training his wife in the ways of the Force, despite the Jedi Council's initial misgivings against such a course of action. They feel that to train one so old -- despite the precedent that would soon be established by Nomi Sunrider -- would pose too great a risk for the individual to fall to the Dark Side. Nonetheless, Jolee and his spouse continue to enjoy many years of marital bliss. "Knights of the Old Republic." Entry by Josh Ehrnwald.

As he grows up, young Ulic Qel-Droma becomes driven to succeed at any cost. The Alderaanian Royal Court, where his Jedi mother served, often treated him with disdain and pity. Derisive looks and whispers seemed to follow him everywhere, and he became obsessed with proving his worth. In each subject he studied, he would gain the respect of his teachers and fellow classmates ? only to become bored and move on to something else. He deliberately avoids trying to learn about the Force for the time being, as he doesn?t want to be seen ? or to feel ? as if he were riding his mother?s coattails.

?SW RPG Tales of the Jedi Companion.? [Page 34]

4,012 BSW4

Around this time, young Jolee Bindo begins journeying with another fellow Jedi named Andor Vex. The Force was said to have "swirled like a hurricane" around Andor, prompting many Jedi to believe that a great destiny awaited him...a mythos of perceived infallibility which, unfortunately, Andor himself soon began to buy into. During one particular trip, Andor and Jolee are captured by Dimean raiders led by a politically strong lord named Krant. Upon being hauled up to the bridge of their ship, Andor's arrogance takes over. He begins demanding their freedom, lording his supposedly enormous "reputation" over all of the Dimeans, etcetera. Krant simply grabs him by the throat and tosses him down the nearest reactor shaft. However, the interaction of Andor's corpse with the reactor's energy controls sets off a chain reaction, destroying the Dimean forces and killing Krant. Jolee just barely makes it off their ship alive.

So...Andor Vex's "great destiny" DID meet up with him, although not in a way he or anyone else could have ever predicted. This incident changes the political course of the entire sector for centuries to come.

Reluctantly, Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma?s mother begins training them in the ways of the Jedi. The mechanically-minded Cay does okay, but Ulic excels ? for the first time he doesn?t have to expend all of his energy to learn something. He seems to be a natural in the ways of the Force. The more he learns, the more he wants to learn ? so much so that his mother begins to fear he?s getting too intense in his studies. She warns him that he may be missing the underlying meaning of the Jedi way and he?ll get himself in trouble if he continues on this course. He laughs off the notion, quoting the Jedi Code to (unsuccessfully) calm her down.

Kith Kark, a Gotal who?d come to realize he had no direction in life, encounters a group of Jedi apprentices while on a sightseeing excursion in the Truuine system. Kith, sensing the inner peace and calm of the Jedi (a calm that appeals to something inside him), decides to follow them to the training compound of Jedi Master Mroon Jassa. The Jedi apprentices are welcomed, but Jassa ignores Kith. Shocked and offended, Kith declares that he wants to become a Jedi. No answer. When he loudly demands Jassa?s attention, the Jedi Master tells him ?By your own actions, you have proven that you are not ready to commune with the Force. Now I suggest you leave. Perhaps the next time you return, I will be ready to make a commitment.?

Two years into his training, King Ommin becomes too ill to continue mentoring Novar. Luckily (and to Novar’s surprise), Queen Amanoa took Ommin’s place as mentor, bringing him through the next levels of Sith technique. In time, Novar grew in power, eventually becoming a minor dark side wizard. King Ommin’s Dark Side caused illness worsens, as his very bone marrow degenerates. His personal physicians construct a durasteel exoskeleton to support him and keep him alive. He goes into hiding to pursue Dark Side studies, leaving Queen Amanoa in charge of Iziz. Rumours circulate of his death, and he does nothing to discourage them.

Churabba, a female Hutt with a cunning business mind, controls the Si'Klaata Cluster during this period of time. She was there when the Cult of M'dweshuu once again rose to power on Kintan. It was believed that she admired the Cult for its ability to galvanize the Nikto race, even as she sought to destroy it to gain control of the Nikto race. She ordered that the Cult's main headquarters be bombarded, killing off many of the Cult's leaders and leaving the Nikto people without a strong leadership. The Nikto then signed their support over to her.

Old Corellian, or ‘olys Corellisi’, an archaic dialect still found in some sections of the Corellian sector and the galaxy, fades into extinction. There still exists a secluded sub-culture that insists on using the language, so as to remember the past and the Corellian forebears who helped open up the galaxy. Socorro, for instance, is a planet with a known Old Corellian dialect still in active use.

Dace Diath?s Jedi training on Tatooine goes hard ? almost too hard for him for take. He abhorred the level of discipline he had to maintain, but didn?t want to fail and disappoint his father. His doubts plagued him, and Sidrona tried his best to encourage the boy ? those who worked hardest to attain their connection to the Force often proved the most proficient teachers. After a hard day of training in the Jundland Wastes, Dace is finally ready to give up altogether?then, as he meditates at the edge of the Dune Sea, he realizes that it?s his own doubts that are holding him back. Regaining faith in himself, he rededicates himself to his training and finds it goes a lot easier this time.

Matri Bey serves as the Governor of the Trans-Nebular Sector. She was more of a bureaucrat and less of a politician, and found that she was overwhelmed with the running of an entire sector. Governor Bey was unaware of the brewing trouble between the Corellians and the Aqualish factions that were mining on Goroth Prime, and was powerless when full-scale war broke out.

D'Jar'Min, a military police force, is created by the Gorothite people to try and hold off any hostilities between the Corellian and Aqualish factions which controlled the hyperbaride mining operations on Goroth Prime. The name D'Jar'Min literally meant "Planetary Defense Arm.” Initially, the D'Jar'Min was little more than a symbol of autonomy for the Gorothites, but it evolved into a powerful police force.

J'Kek D'rith Kalama, a Gorothite and member of the J'Kek j'ber, becomes the Rel'Kan of his people. It was Rel'Kan J'Kek who mediated the initial discussions between the Corellian and Aqualish factions which desired to mine hyperbarides on the planet. J'Kek struggled mightily to remain neutral throughout the negotiations, vowing to give each side equal opportunity to match the bids made for various mining rights. In this way, Rel'Kan J'Kek obtained great wealth for the P'Dar'Ken, but he was blinded to the fact that the Corellians and the Aqualish were gearing up for a confrontation which led to The Scouring. For his part in securing this wealth, J'Kek's supporters wanted him to be given the position of Rel'Kan until his death, but the P'Dar'Ken voted against it. Modern Gorothites viewed J'Kek D'rith Kalama as evil incarnate, for his part in The Scouring, and the insult of being tainted with "the blood of the J'Kek" was a venomous attack.
