Raid on the Armand Isard Correctional Facility
"Seff, things will be a lot better if you just surrender."

- Tahiri Veila, to Seff Hellin

The raid on the Armand Isard Correctional Facility was a rescue mission attempted in 43.5 ABY by rogue Jedi Seff Hellin to free Jedi Knight Valin Horn from the Armand Isard Correctional Facility, a Galactic Alliance prison. The two Jedi were affected by the same psychosis&mdash;an illness which caused the affected being to believe that everyone they knew had been replaced by impostors except for other beings that suffered from the disease. Hellin hoped to free Horn, who had been encased in carbonite and placed in the prison. The Galactic Alliance hoped to capture Hellin, while Darkmeld&mdash;a covert organization formed by Knight Jaina Solo to counter Chief of State Natasi Daala's efforts to weaken the Jedi Order&mdash;hoped to capture the Jedi as well, in order to study the disease.

As his raid began, Hellin was attacked by two Darkmeld members&mdash;Imperial Remnant Head of State Jagged Fel and bounty hunter Tahiri Veila. He managed to defeat them, but the two attacked again, and Hellin was forced to abandon his goal. As he left the prison, Hellin was caught by Galactic Alliance bounty hunters Dhidal Nyz and Zilaash Kuh. Solo, however, seized him from the bounty hunters, and loaded him into a speeder piloted by Darkmeld affiliate Mirax Terrik Horn, Valin's mother. A speeder chase ensued, and the bounty hunters and several security speeders pursued them, but Darkmeld managed to shake off all of their pursuers. Hellin was taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where he was to be studied in secret by Mon Calamari Jedi healer Cilghal. (Read more&hellip;)

Confrontation on Ambria
"I am Master Tho'natu of the Jedi. We're here to help you.''" "''No! You'll never get me! No! No! No!"

- Tho'natu and Darovit

This confrontation was a short duel on Ambria in 990 BBY between the failed Jedi Padawan&mdash;and later redeemed Sith&mdash;Darovit and a team of six Jedi Masters and eight Jedi Knights. Darovit had been on Coruscant, where he ran into his cousin, Darth Zannah, who was undercover as a Jedi. Fearing she would be discovered, she took him to her Master, reigning Dark lord of the Sith Darth Bane, on Tython. During a Duel on Tython&mdash;where a group of Jedi engaged the last two remaining Sith Lords&mdash;Bane suffered life-threatening injuries. After the duel, Zannah took Bane to the healer Caleb on Ambria, who refused to heal the dying Dark Lord unless Zannah surrendered her Master to the Jedi Order. Zannah accepted Caleb's demands and sent word to the Jedi that a Sith still lived, only to betray and murder the healer after his part of the bargain was upheld. Zannah then used Sith magic to drive Darovit insane, and furnished him with a gold-bladed lightsaber.

When a team of fourteen Jedi, led by Twi'lek Jedi Master Tho'natu, arrived on Ambria to arrest the last surviving Sith Lord, they were attacked by the insane Darovit. Believing him to be the Dark Lord, they cut him down in seconds. Assuming the Sith had finally been eliminated from the galaxy, the Jedi left the planet. Though the encounter lasted no more than three seconds, it had lasting effects, as the Sith would remain hidden from the Jedi for nearly a millennium, until they finally rose again with the power to take over the galaxy.

Koro Ziil
"Koro Ziil is dead. You will have to speak to the Hidden One."

- Charsae Saal, to Luke Skywalker, on Koro Ziil

Koro Ziil, also known as the Hidden One and hu'aac-du'ul-staranjan&mdash;which, translated from his native language to Basic, meant "the one who dwells in darkness"&mdash;was a male Force-sensitive Kel Dor. He was a member of the Baran Do Sages, a group of Force-sensitive Kel Dor on Dorin. He was one of the few Baran Do to be trained in combat, and became the Master of the Order. Ziil trained Baran Do Sage Charsae Saal, who would become the senior combat instructor at the Baran Do temple. In 34 ABY, Ziil also taught many Baran Do Force techniques to Jedi Knight Jacen Solo, who had spent the last five years traveling the galaxy to spend time among other Force-based organizations. By 43.5 ABY, Ziil had become the leader of the Hidden Ones&mdash;a secret sect of the Baran Do tasked with preserving the Order's knowledge. The Hidden Ones lived in a series of caverns deep below the surface of Dorin, where they could remain hidden from the rest of the galaxy.

In 43.5 ABY, Ziil met with Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker&mdash;who had been recently exiled for failing to prevent Jacen Solo's fall to the dark side of the Force and transformation into Darth Caedus&mdash;and Luke's son, Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker, shortly after becoming the leader of the Hidden Ones. Ziil attempted to coerce the Skywalkers into joining the sect, and refused to let them leave, in order to protect the sect's secrecy. The Skywalkers resisted, and turned many of the Hidden Ones against him. With the tension mounting between them, Ziil eventually confronted Luke in a duel, which Ziil lost. Ben then revealed Ziil's many lies, and the Hidden Ones revolted against his rule and returned to the surface. (Read more&hellip;)

Charsae Saal
Charsae Saal was a male Kel Dor and Baran Do Sage who was born during the Republic Classic era, and was a young child when the Jedi Order was purged. He was trained as a Baran Do sage by Master of the Order Koro Ziil, and would later become the Order's senior combat instructor. In 43.5 ABY, former Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker&mdash;recently exiled for failing to prevent Sith Lord Darth Caedus' fall to the dark side&mdash;and his son, Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker, arrived on Dorin to seek out Ziil. Saal briefly trained Ben in combat techniques, but just a few days later, Saal decided to join the Hidden Ones, a secret sect of the Baran Do tasked with preserving the Order's knowledge. Saal held his dying ceremony, a rite for sages before joining the Hidden Ones, where they pretended to give themselves over to the Force and die. However, Luke was not fooled by Saal's "death", and he and Ben searched the site of the ceremony. The Skywalkers discovered a secret underground chamber, where they found Saal alive and well, and accompanied him to the Hidden Ones' secret headquarters, the Caverns of the Hidden One.

Upon their arrival in the caverns, Saal took the name of Chara and gave the Skywalkers a tour of the caverns, revealing to them that in order to protect the secrecy of the Hidden Ones, they would never be allowed to leave. He later dueled with the skilled fighter, Ithia, and defeated her&mdash;something he had never accomplished before. Soon after, Luke, in order to prove his theory that the Hidden Ones were growing weaker in the Force, suggested that Ben duel Chara. Ben emerged the victor, despite the fact that Chara was his superior. Ziil, who had become the leader of the Hidden Ones, then confronted Luke in a battle of Force powers, which Luke won. The Hidden Ones then rebelled and returned to the Baran Do on the surface. (Read more&hellip;)

Zilaash Kuh
Zilaash Kuh was a female Human bounty hunter hired by the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances in 43 ABY to assist in the arrest of Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker, and later to capture rogue Jedi Knight Valin Horn, who had gone on a destructive rampage after suffering a psychotic breakdown. After failing to capture Horn because of the intervention of Skywalker, she was paired up with Quarren mercenary Dhidal Nyz to capture Seff Hellin, a rogue Jedi suffering from the same disease as Horn. They would lose this bounty to Darkmeld, a secret organization formed by Knight Jaina Solo to counter Chief of State Natasi Daala's attempts to undermine the Jedi Order. (Read more&hellip;)

Ithia
Ithia was a female Force-sensitive Kel Dor from the planet of Dorin. She became a member of the Baran Do Sages, a Force-based organization on Dorin, and later joined the Hidden Ones, a secret sect of the Baran Do dedicated to preserving the Order's knowledge. She was present in the sect's caverns in 43.5 ABY when former Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker&mdash;recently exiled from the capital planet of Coruscant and the Jedi Order for dereliction of duty&mdash;and his son, Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker, traveled to Dorin to speak with Master of the Baran Do Koro Ziil to learn more about Jedi Knight-turned-Sith Lord Darth Caedus' fall to the dark side of the Force. They eventually discovered the Hidden Ones, and the Skywalkers met with Ziil, who had become the sect's leader. Ziil revealed that, in order to protect the sect's secrecy, no one would ever be allowed to leave the caverns. Luke eventually turned the Hidden Ones against Ziil and defeated him in a battle of Force powers, and Ithia and the Hidden Ones returned to the surface of Dorin. (Read more&hellip;)
