Shapers of Kro Var

The Shapers of Kro Var were an order of Force users who were formed on the planet Kro Var. They originated circa 1,000 BBY when a damaged cruiser fleeing the devastation of the New Sith Wars crashed on Kro Var. The survivors of the crash did their best to eke out an existence on the inhospitable world. Eventually, the population split into clans and underwent technological regression due to infighting between the clans. Force-sensitive individuals became leaders within the clans and were referred to as shapers. Eventually, the Republic and the Jedi Order made contact with Kro Var and, after some initial hostility initiated by the Shapers of Kro Var, were able to establish peaceful relationships. This allowed the Shapers to travel offworld and explore the galaxy, which they continued to do into the Clone Wars.

The Shapers were considered superstitious and proud of their abilities. They distrusted Force-users who used abilities such as telekinesis or mind tricks, and individuals portraying such abilities on Kro Var were persecuted. Instead, most of the Shapers' abilities were focused around warfare and the harnessing of the elements of earth, fire, water, and air. As such, their particular uses of the Force were focused on utilizing and manipulating the powers of nature to suit their needs.

History
During the New Sith Wars, a group of refugees fled from the planet Ruusan, following the Ruusan campaign. However, their ship emerged out of hyperspace at the wrong co-ordinates, crashing on Kro Var, a planet located in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy. The survivors of the crash formed into various clans and fought among themselves for control of resources. Eventually, some of the survivors demonstrated sensitivity to the Force and became known as "Shapers". The clan conflicts became more aggressive and the Shapers played an important part in them, using their powers to shape the elements.

Eventually, a Galactic Republic trading vessel discovered Kro Var. The planet's power structure was thrown into chaos and a group of Jedi were sent to Kro Var to regain order and bring the people there back into modern-day society. However, the Shapers were suspicious of the Jedi, resulting in a brief conflict between them. Peace was eventually restored and the Jedi decided that the Shapers weren't users of the dark side of the Force, so sent envoys to help the Shapers integrate into modern society and to learn their Force techniques. Some shapers also took the opportunity to leave Kro Var and spread thoroughout the galaxy.
