Jedi hunter/Legends

"People say killing Jedi is hard. It's not, you just have to be smart about it. No blasters, no getting close to them, no attacking them directly when you can gun down their allies instead."

- Atton Rand



Jedi hunter refers to a being or droid who specialized in killing Jedi. They killed for many reasons, such as profit, revenge, or mere pleasure. Some Jedi hunters, such as the Separatist general Grievous or the Mandalorian raider Sherruk, would collect the lightsabers of those they had slain as trophies. Some would also make personal use of their collected lightsabers such as Aurra Sing.

At the end of the Hundred-Year Darkness, Jedi hunters helped defeat the Dark Jedi at the Battle of Corbos. In the Mandalorian Wars, Dungeon ships were developed to move and capture Jedi prisoners, and were later reused with Universal Energy Cages in the Great Jedi Purge.

No specific background was necessary to create a Jedi Hunter, as so many came from diverse upbringing and species. There were many trained by the Jedi, some who fell to the dark side due to losing their master or other such friends, and some who were driven to the dark side by an unfortunate series of events. There was also whole series of droids, created specifically to assassinate and hunt down the Jedi.

Perhaps the most notable of all was the Grand Army of the Republic. Cloned from the template of the famous Bounty Hunter Jango Fett, the troops of the GAR were bred with the hidden Order 66 in their heads, which, when activated, orderred the clones to kill their Jedi generals. Following the Clone War, an entire legion of the GAR was put into use in the service of Darth Vader, a Jedi turned Sith and the most famous Jedi Hunter in galactic history.

Following the fall of the Galactic Empire, the Jedi enjoyed a short time of peace, until the Yuuzhan Vong invaded. These extragalactic warriors swept through the galaxy taking entire worlds and waging war on the New Republic. Realizing that their biggest threat came from the Jedi themselves, and hating the fact that they controlled a mysical energy field called The Force, which the Yuuzhan Vong could not touch, and seemed to not even exist in, the invaders called for the extermination of the Jedi in exchange for an empty promise of peace. An entire faction of New Republic ciizens caved, forming a group called the Peace Brigade, and began to hunt the Jedi, turning them over to the Yuuzhan vong.
