Seventh Battle of Ruusan

The Seventh Battle of Ruusan was the final major engagement of the conflict known as the New Sith Wars. There were actually seven of these battles on the world during the last days of the war, but the pivotal and last battle is the one most remembered, due to the use of the thought bomb and is usually referred to as The Battle of Ruusan.

The New Sith Wars began 2,000 years before the Battle of Yavin and ended after a thousand years of conflict, including internal Sith conflict, and all-out assaults on the Galactic Republic. At one stage during the long war, the Sith had been in control of most of the galaxy, but the Army of Light slowly regained the Republic's lost territory with decades of hard-fought campaigns.

Eventually, the Sith retreated to Ruusan, where, after six months of battle with the Jedi in as six separate battles, the Sith were near defeat.

The Jedi Lord Farfalla crushed the Sith in the pivotal seventh battle of Ruusan, and Lord Hoth journeyed to apprehend the leaders of the Brotherhood of Darkness. The Sith, however, were waiting for them and had one final weapon.

In an act of desperation, Lord Kaan, leader of the Sith, unleased the thought bomb and in an instant, every last force-user on the world was killed.

The conclusion of the final confrontation on Ruusan led to the apparent extinction of the Sith, and the restructuring of the Republic and of the Jedi Order.

The outcome of the war also resulted in the most powerful and last surviving Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Bane, deciding henceforth to concentrate the dark side of the Force in only one master and one apprentice thereby restructuring the Sith Order.

This decision allowed the Sith to hide within the Republic until their existence was finally revealed with rise of Emperor Palpatine, whose apprentices included Darth Maul, Darth Tyranus, and finally Darth Vader

The return of Anakin Skywalker, aka Darth Vader, to the light, and the death of the Emperor who was the last true master of Darth Bane's reformed Sith Order, brought to fruition the prophecy of the Chosen One who would bring "balance to the Force."
