Army of Light

During the New Sith Wars, the Army of Light was the name given to the military force that Lord Hoth led against the Sith Lord Kaan and his Brotherhood of Darkness. The army consisted of both Jedi and regular Republic troops.

As the war ground on, Hoth's forces grew thin, 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 youth Tomcat, upon seeing the bedraggled remnants of the army before the seventh Battle of Ruusan, labelled them the "Army of Mud", unimpressed by their appearance.
