"True power comes not from light or darkness, but from the mastery of both."

- JethLordMaster

Hi! I'm JethLordMaster, a 15 year-old Wookiepedian from California. I'm a major Star Wars fan and I'm well known in my area as the guy who knows the most about Star Wars around. I've been a fan of Star Wars ever since I watched a New Hope when I was five, and began aggresively buying the novels as soon as I could. There is very little about Star Wars I don't know about and I'm constantly adding to my EU knowledge! I think everyone agrees with me when I say that the new hardcover books are too expensive and, since I only buy paperbacks, we shouldn't have to wait so long for the softcover editions.

The JethLordMaster is the leader of the secret order of Force-users known as the Bai-Hei Order.

"It is true that darkness corrupts, but always remember that light burns, and never give in to the temptation of either side."

- JethLordMaster on the philosophy of the Bai-Hei Order

Early Life
Not much is known about the early life of the JethLordMaster. Many pieces of his past, such as his real name, have long since been forgotten and he is addressed as the Grand Lord Master. It is known however, that he was born on the planet Earth, located in an entirely different galaxy. Unknown to even himself, he possessed the power to manipulate the space-time continuum and an accidental outburst of this ability caused by near-death experience triggered a wormhole which pulled him into this galaxy, more specifically to Coruscant. Curiously, upon arriving in this galaxy, the midichlorians quickly took root in his body, bestowing him with immense ability of the Force. He witnessed the battle between the Coruscanti natives and the Taung, and as a test of his new powers, caused the eruption that turned the tide of the war.

Era of the Infinite Empire
After the Taungs' defeat, the LordMaster dropped out of history until the beginnings of the Infinite Empire. It is assumed (though not confirmed) that he underwent a long period of self-induced hibernation and meditation to think about his complete lapse of judgement in blatantly influencing history by helping the humans. This long hibernation preserved his body and allowed his abnormally long life. During this time, he learned to move objects, and himself instantaneously to another location with the Force, much like the Aing-Tii monks would learn to do many centuries later, and made contact with the Gree and the Columi, the latter volutarily creating a large host of clones for the LordMaster, making him all but immortal. The LordMaster came up with the Bai-Hei philosophy and vowed that he would devote his life to maintaining balance between light and darkness in the galaxy. He discreetly began gathering Force-sensitive beings from among the slaves of the Rakata, and trained them in the philosophy of the Bai-Hei, which was that one must master the light and dark aspects of the Force to know true power. Unfortunately, the Rakata discovered their existence, and began trying to exterminate such a threat to their power. Many warriors fell in those dark years, but before they could be driven to their extinction, the slaves, rallied by the brave Bai-Hei, rose up against their oppressors and fought back. The Rakatan plague soon destroyed the Infinite Empire and stripped them of the Force. The freed slaves believed that the severely weakened Bai-Hei warriors had gradually transitioned into society.

Xim the Despot Era
In truth, the Bai-Hei Order was far from defeated. The JethLordMaster used this belief to hide the Order from galactic view to prevent another disaster. This led to the rest of the galaxy believing the Order had been destroyed. Many of the slain warriors had already had clones made, and had their returned from death into new bodies.(The Reborn Emperor would use very similar technology to cheat death centuries later.) After secretly using the Star Forge to construct a massive fleet, the JethLordMaster and the remaining warriors established a territory deep in the edges of Wild Space to rebuild. They largely ignored the ongoing war between Xim the Despot and the Hutts seeing it as not needing any intervention.

Old Republic Era
As the Bai-Hei recovered, they watched in interest as the Republic developed. The JethLordMaster saw that the helping the Republic was the best way to keep balance in the galaxy, and didn't intervene in its formation. He also kept an eye on the Jedi, and after the schism, the Sith, who remained hidden to the rest of the galaxy. Seeing a valuable oppurtunity to study other Force-users, the JethLordMaster reincarnated into the body of a child and infiltrated the Jedi and then the Sith. It was during this time that scattered sightings of the Bai-Hei were seen around the galaxy. They became known as the JediSith, which gradually became the Jeth. He was disappointed however, when he found that, besides the lightsaber technology, the Jedi had very little to offer the Bai-Hei. He decided to return later when the Jedi had become stronger. The Sith, however, were much more powerful, and under Sith Lord Marka Ragnos, had developed many devastating powers. The LordMaster knew that under the leadership of Ragnos, the Sith could toss the galaxy out of balance and decided to intervene. He secretly challenged and killed Ragnos and looted the Sith Archives, stealing knowledge of all their powers and alchemy. The LordMaster also ensured that there were two to fight in Ragnos' place, which would further divide the Sith. Naga Sadow and Ludo Kressh would nearly tear the Sith apart with their fighting. The LordMaster also appointed a new Mandalore, who was actually a friend from Earth who was dragged with him through the wormhole. This new Mandalore went by Mandalore the Magnificient and lead the Mandalorians well before being returned to his home dimension, despite an assassination attempt by HK-47. Upon returning to the Bai-Hei haven, the LordMaster taught the new Sith techniques to the Order and created an army of beasts (e.g. terentataks) to bolster the Jeth ranks. A group of warriors were against using the Sith magic, saying the Order was slipping too far into the dark and left, forming the Fallanassi. The LordMaster was content to let the Sith and the Jedi fight over the next few centuries confident that the Jedi would soon be strong enough to offer him something. He took great interest in the exploits of Revan and operated behind the scenes to ensure Revan would succeed in wiping out the rogue Darth Malak and his forces. Darth Malak was viewed as a threat to the balance of the universe, and the Order knew he needed to be silenced if the Republic were to survive. Revan succeeded in his quest and the Grand Lord Master send him to the Unknown Regions to tie up some loose ends. He expected he wouldn't need him in the peace he expected to follow. Unfortunately, he was greatly disappointed when the Jedi were nearly wiped out by Darths Traya, Nihilus and Sion. He knew the Republic would need strong leaders to survive the coming battle, and he caused Carth Onasi's promotion to Admiral, and discreetly transferred the funds Telos needed for Citadel Station, and similarly funded projects on other planets devastated in the previous war. He arranged for the deaths or the three Sith Lords through the Jedi Exile, then sent her after Revan. Unfortunately, this severely weakened the dark side, threatening to tip the galaxy too far into the light, so the LordMaster strengthened the Sith once again by secretly supporting Darth Bane by ensuring his arrival on Korriban. Unfortunately, he didn't forsee the Sith Lords' use of a thought bomb in the battle of Ruusan, and was dismayed by the casualties the Jedi suffered. Although he lost, Bane would ensure the survival of the Sith in the future by creating the Rule of Two.

Fall of the Republic/Rise of the Empire Era
By this point, the Jedi had gained considerable powers, and the LordMaster decided it was time to infiltrate them again. He was greatly impressed by Yoda, and decided to test his loyalty to the Jedi Order. He created the cult which developed into the belief of the Potentium. While the Council was occupied, the LordMaster copied the Jedi Orders' Archives and disappeared with a wealth of knowledge. Sometime during this period, the Order came across Csilla and the Chiss while establishing bases in the Unknown Regions. The Lord Master established an alliance with the Chiss, and agreed to personally train the Chiss' best commanders in exchange for access to their technology and data on the Unknown Regions. One of the many commanders he trained was none other than Thrawn himself, and even then the Lord Master could sense massive potential within him. The Bai-Hei Order also discovered how to transfer personalities of those long dead into new bodies, and the Bai-Hei Order soon had thousands of powerful Jedi and Sith who had died long ago, including Darth Bane, Revan, the Jedi Exile, Tulak Hord, and countless others, who willingly pledged themselves to the Bai-Hei philosophy.

When the LordMaster found that the Chosen One had been born, he was puzzled. He had thought that the Bai-Hei Order was keeping the galaxy in perfect balance. He secretly insured Anakin Skywalker made it to the Jedi by sabotaging the Naboo starship's engines so they would land on Tatooine. He was impressed by Anakin's role and the Battle of Naboo and even more so by his exploits in the Clone Wars. The Order took a more active role in the Clone Wars, and participated behind the scenes in a multitude of battles over the course of the years. Unbeknownst to everyone, the Order had agents in every major shipyard on both sides, and stole a large amount of ships that were reported stolen by a variety of "pirate" groups. The Bai-Hei Order had never been stronger, and the Lord Master hoped that the galaxy would stay in balance due to their efforts once the war ended. Unfortunately, the LordMaster did not forsee Palpatine's plot, and was too late to prevent Order 66. The Bai-Hei Order could do nothing but watch in horror as the Jedi were slaughtered by their own clone troopers, and the Sith once again threw the galaxy into the darkness. Only a few Jeth Watchmen made it in time to save some Jedi, and they were converted into the Bai-Hei Order, and forced to hide their survival from the rest of the galaxy. Among those saved were Barriss Offee, who was shielded from the AT-TE's by a close by Jeth, and Mace Windu, who was rescued by a Jeth Healer before he succumbed to his wounds. The Order debated whether they should confront Palpatine and stop the Empire, but ultimately decided that the risk of the galaxy turning against them was too great, and they slid back hiding once again. The Order established a stronghold in Wild Space in the Tierra System, named for the Lord Master's home planet, and activated a hidden code programmed into both the Confederacy's droids and the Republic's clones which changed the loyalty of a small majority of clones and droids and brought them to Tierra. The code had been planted by a Kaminoan and Geonosian Jeth respectively, and the missing soldiers were assumed to have been destroyed.

The Emperor knew of their existence and sent out massive searches for them, hoping to eradicate such a threat to his power. One attempt was the Katana Fleet, but the Bai-Hei weren't so easily surprised, and a team of sabouteurs released the hive virus into the fleet. After the incident the Emperor avoided Wild Space completely, fearing their power which was bolstered by the additions of 50 dreadnaughts from the fleet and wiped the ships' records from the database. The Lord Master saw the seeds of dissent in the Empire, and helped the Rebel Alliance in it's flegdling days, hoping that it would be able to overthrow the Empire one day.



Rebellion Era
When the Bai-Hei learned of the construction of the Death Star, they were horrified. A weapon of that power backing up the Imperial Starfleet would be enough to overwhelm even Tierra's powerful defenses. They knew the Empire would use it against them once he finished with the Rebel Alliance he'd invade them, no matter how many soldiers it would cost him. The Order couldn't allow this to happen, but were unwilling to risk revealing their massive strength yet, lest the galaxy feel threatened by their power and turn against them. The Lord Master came up with an elaborate plan that would strengthen the Order's Rebel allies and keep their secret hidden. The Order ensured Vader would intercept the Tantive IV over Tatooine, and that Luke Skywalker, who they had been protecting from the Empire as their last hope, would retrieve C-3PO and R2-D2 upon their landing. The Lord Master influenced Obi-Wan Kenobi's mind so he would be in the exact place to save Skywalker if he was attacked by the Tuskens; the cautionary measure was justified when Luke was ambushed. The Lord Master then personally infiltrated Coruscant and altered the minds of Bevel Lemelisk so he would overlook the open reactor shaft that would ultimately lead to the station's destruction. He and a squadron of Bai-Hei pilots then began following The Millenium Falcon after its escape from Mos Eisley. He safely escorted Luke and his companions aboard the Millenium Falcon to the Alderaan system, even destroying two Star Destroyers that would have intercepted them. He then boarded the Death Star and silently assassinated entire platoons of stormtroopers in order to keep their attention off of Skywalker. He didn't actively participate in the attack on the Death Star, and instead chose to watch Skywalker's flying prowess, and was amazed at how his skill level challenged even that of Anakin's. He rejoiced in their success against the Empire, and prepared to help protect the Rebel Alliance in their inevitable retreat from Yavin IV.

Powers and Abilities
"The greatest power a warrior can have is determination. With it, he is an unstoppable force, without it, he is more useless than a Jawa who can't haggle.."

- JethLordMaster

The JethLordMaster was extremely powerful in many aspects due to his abnormally high midi-chlorian count and had many other abilities alongside his time and space bending powers. He could use every imaginable force power with great efficiency, and could maintain control long past the point where any Jedi or Sith would have killed themselves. An example of his powers is the explosion he caused during the Taung and human war, and he was known to have drained the lives of a two dozen rogue terentateks at once. During the war against the Rakata, he also destroyed an entire Rakatan battle fleet by causing their ships to simultaneously explode. Much like Jacen Solo, he could control powers such as Aing-Tii flow walking and Fallanassi illusions. At one point while fighting against the Yuuzhan Vong, he considered using the Force to crush the Vong-controlled Coruscant, but decided to give the Galactic Alliance a chance to reclaim the planet. He also was able to project a shield large enough to protect an entire continent for a extended period of time.

His physical prowess was no less impressive. He was skilled in all seven lightsaber forms but preferred to use Soresu, Djem So/Shien, and Jar'Kai, and would also use a style based on the Chinese martial arts and European fencing styles of his homeworld. In addition, he had many other radical styles. He had eight different colored lightsabers (crimson, gold, silver, sapphire, amethyst, emerald, bronze, and orange) which were all compatible, and any two could join to form a saberstaff. In addition, each one was a tri-phase lightsaber, able to shrink to the length of a short lightsaber, or stretch to that of a lightclub. He invented two unique and shocking styles that would throw off even the most skilled of opponents. His first was to use to saberstaffs at once by joining two of his sabers in the short lightsaber mode, which allowed him to use Jar'Kai and Soresu in conjuntion to block and return any number of attacks from any angle. His other was to use all eight sabers at once, telekinetically controlling six while wielding the other two in his hands, which created a maelstrom of blades that could cut any opponent to ribbons in a matter of seconds. The LordMaster also had great prowess with shotos and lightwhips, and once used two whips in conjuntion to single-handedly defeat a mighty rancor. His skill was so renowned, that he was rumored to have challenged, then defeated Tulak Hord. He also had frightening strength and used could fight with Teras Kasi, Echani, and the Wushu style of his homeworld if the rare instance his being disarmed ever occured.

While he disliked blasters and other projectile weapons, he was a crack shot with any sort of rifle, and could cause massive chaos within the ranks of a ground force from kilometers away. He was also, like any other Force-sensitive, a better than average pilot, and favored the A-wing and other such interceptors. His piloting skills fell far short of those of Anakin Skywalker, Plo Koon, or Saesee Tiin however. His tactical skills were also strong, to the point that his exploits became legendary among the Chiss, although Grand Admiral Thrawn, his old student, would surpass him.
