The Force is a tool, like any other. And like any other tool, one can always benefit from additional training...

Kelad'den
"Kel always had a sucker for a pretty face. Always knew it would be the death of him."

- Paak

Kelad'den, known as Kel for short, was a young Lethan Twi'lek who lived on the Outer Rim world of Serenno. He was one of the elite warriors of the Anti-Republic Liberation Front, radical if barely significant seperatist movement. Under the influence of Darth Zannah, he was provoked into mobilising his resistance cell into attempting to capture former Supreme Chancellor Tarsus Valorum during an unofficial visit.

With three Human accomplices, Kelad'den waited on the pad for Valorum to arrive. However, they were unaware that the former Chancellor was protected by his friend Johun Othone, a Jedi Knight. After the Othune defeated two of the attackers and the third fled, Kelad'den faced the Jedi alone. Despite outclassing the Jedi in combat, Othune grabbed Kelad'den and pulled himself over the edge of the platform. While the Jedi was protected by the Force, the Twi'lek's neck was broken as he hit the water below.

Biography

Personality and Traits
As a Lethan, Kelad'den had red skin, was tall, muscular and physically attractive. However, he was very aware of this and knowing this, coupled with his high breeding, meant he had a hugely inflated ego. It was this that Darth Zannah used to manipulate him through challenges and flattery. He held much arrogance towards those of a 'lower class', believing them to be below his consideration. Kelad'den was capable of using his confidence and belief to rouse those under his command.

Physically, Kelad'den had rapid reflexes and a toned body honed by years of physical training. He was able to outclass the Jedi Johun Othune in speed and strength. He was unafraid of challenges, desiring ways to improve himself and hone his skills furthur.

Behind the Scenes
Kelad'den was created by Drew Karpyshan for Darth Bane: Rule of Two, his second novel in the Darth Bane trilogy.

Army of Light
"An Army of Light to face the Brotherhood of Darkness."

- Kaan

The Army of Light was a Jedi army towards the end of the New Sith Wars. To fight on behalf of the Republic, the Jedi Mster Lord Hoth led against the Sith Lord Kaan and his Brotherhood of Darkness. The army consisted of both Jedi and regular troops serving the Republic.

The Army of Light was an ad-hoc military forced hastily assembled and provisioned to combat the sudden change of fortunes of the Brotherhood at a time the Republic had thought the Sith defeated. As the war ground on, Hoth's forces grew even thinner, and he was forced to recruit Force-sensitive children to bolster his forces. He was reluctant to do so but his aide, Pernicar, advised him that if he didn't send the children against Kaan, Kaan would send them against the Jedi.

The Army of Light was greatly weakened by its clashes with the Sith Brotherhood on Ruusan, and by the time of the seventh Battle of Ruusan, they were merely the bedraggled remnants of the army they once were (the youth Tomcat labeled them the "Army of Mud").

One unit of the Army of Light was the Third Legion of Light, commanded by Jedi General New'arforrth. The army was severely weakened by a thought bomb used by Kaan during the seventh battle of Ruusan.
