Force Wars

The Force Wars was a ten year long conflict that took place on Tython more than seven centuries before the formation of the Galactic Republic, and considered the first battle between the followers of the light and dark sides of the Force.

History
In 25,793 BBY, the conflict arose between the followers 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 metal swords augmented through the Force. In 25,783 BBY, the Bogan's followers were defeated. The light Force users of Tython established a monastic society of guardians of the peace, known as the Jedi, and eventually left their world, settling on the planet Ossus 730 years later.

The Jedi Order would not return to its homeworld until the Cold War, after Grand Master Satele Shan rediscovered the planet during the early stages of the Great Galactic War.
