Hidden Ones

The Hidden Ones was a subsect of the Baran Do sages, a faction of Force-sensitive Kel Dor living on their homeworld of Dorin. In 19 BBY, the Clone Wars came to a sudden end with the execution of Order 66 and the transformation of the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire. The Empire subsequently hunted and down and destroyed the Jedi Order in a great purge. One of the Baran Do, Tokra Hazz, feared that his order would suffer the same fate. In order to ensure that the Baran Do would not be driven to extinction if such an attack occured, Hazz formed the Hidden Ones. The culture revolved around an individual Baran Do holding a dying ceremony, and then traveling deep underground to a system of caverns. There, they met up with the other Hidden Ones and chose a new name, as they were considered dead to the outer galaxy, as well as the rest of the order. In 43.5 ABY, Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and his son, Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker, embarked on a quest to trace Jedi Knight-turned-Sith Lord Darth Caedus' steps during his five-year-journey after the Yuuzhan Vong War, in hopes of learning why he fell to the dark side of the Force. They met with the Baran Do on Dorin, and infiltrated the Hidden Ones. There the Skywalkers learned of the many lies that the current Hidden Ones' leader&mdash;formerly named Koro Ziil&mdash;told his followers. Luke Skywalker turned the Hidden Ones against their leader, restoring their will to be "alive". This enraged Ziil, who then attacked Luke, but the Jedi defeated Ziil. Ben then revealed the many lies that Ziil had kept, and the Hidden Ones revolted against his rule and returned to the surface.
