First Jedi Purge

"The Jedi Temple on Coruscant lies empty. The waters in the Room of a Thousand Fountains have fallen still, in reverence to the fallen Jedi... and those now lost."

- Kreia

The First Jedi Purge took place some time after the Battle of Rakata Prime, from 3,955-3,954 BBY until 3,951 BBY. This purge saw nearly the entire Jedi Order disappear from the Galaxy: the Order publicly disbanded and most of the survivors were killed by the Sith.

After the conclusion of the First Sith Civil War in 3,955 BBY, Darth Traya, Nihilus, and Sion took command of the Sith remnants. After the exile of Darth Traya, Darth Sion utilized his Sith Assassins to assassinate Jedi. Darth Nihilus in turn consumed life on an entire planet in search for the Jedi. Nihilus' last attack was on the Miraluka world of Katarr, when nearly all of the remaining hundred Jedi died at a conclave on the planet.

Prelude
By the year 3,951 BBY, almsot all the Jedi had been eliminated and few remained, but the Purge wasn't over yet, for one last Jedi remained&hellip;

The Exile's return to the Republic space occurred in 3,951 BBY. The Harbinger, bound for Onderon, suddenly received adistress call and, upon reporting it and the distressed vessels ID, was ordered to assist the vessel.

Upon their arrival the Captain of the Harbinger ordered a boarding crew onto the distressed vessel to bring aboard any survivors. They picked up the entire crew but were duely ambushed by a Sith warship. The crew of the EBon Hawk quikly escaped but not before being attacked by the Sith warship. Suffering immense damage the ship made the jump to hyperspace but was left drifting in space. With the help of the utility droid T3-M4, the Exile was taken care of, and the Ebon Hawk was eventually guided to the Peragus Mining Facility.

When the Exile woke up from her stupor in the mining facility, she found an old woman left for dead, this women later revealed herself to be a Jedi Knight named Kreia. She guided the Exile through their escape from the Peragus mining facility. They found the facility to be completely abandoned, except for malfunctioning mining droids and an imprisoned human named Atton Rand. Before long however the Sith who had attacked the Harbinger, arrived, intent on killing ex-Jedi – the Exile. The three escaped with T3-M4 onboard the Ebon Hawk, traveling to Telos, finding it to be the only available destination in the Peragus navigational charts. While being pursued by the Sith in the asteroid field around Peragus, laser fire ignited the volatile fuel within the asteroids. The resulting explosion destroyed both the facility and the planet itself, though the Ebon Hawk and the Sith onboard the Harbinger were able to escape.

After arriving at the massive Citadel Station in orbit around Telos the crew were detained for the destruction of the Peragus mining facility. They were soon cleared of any crime but not before their vessel, the Ebon Hawk, and T3-M4 were stolen and flown to the Telosian surface while the Exile and her crew were being held. After being refused a new vessel they utilized alternative transportation to get down to the surface, where they were shot down by Czerka air-defense turrets. Having crashed upon the surface they were pulled out of the burning vessel by a Zabrak engineer named Bao-Dur, who who was respnsible for designing Telos' planetery shields. While on the surface, they learned that the Ebon Hawk had been taken to the old planetary aqueducts in the polar region of the planet. Stealing a shuttle from an abandoned military compound, they traveled to the aqueducts, and were once again shot down by a HK-50 bounty hunter droid. After defeating the droid Atton, Kreia and the Exile (Bao-Dur was incapacitated) traveled into the polar aqueduct system.

Upon arrving in the aquaduct system they found themselves once again being detained by the Handmaiden and her sisters. They had entered the Telosian Jedi Temple. After being detained once again the Exile was granted an audience with Atris, the Jedi Master controlling the facility. After a heated debate over what the Exile should have, and did do during the Mandalorian Wars the Exile and his party were granted leave and left with the Ebon Hawk and T3-M4. He soon discovered, however, that Brianna, the Last Handmaiden, had abandoned Atris to join him on the Ebon Hawk. Despite the rest of the crew thinking she was a spy sent by Atris, and in defiance of Kreia's protests, the Exile allowed Brianna to stay after revealing herself on board the ship.

After leaving the academy, T3 revealed that he had managed to download Atris' database and navigational charts while being held, including a recording of the Exile's trial and records of where the last five remaining Jedi Masters were hiding: Atris on Telos, Kavar on Onderon, Vrook Lamar on Dantooine, Zez-Kai Ell on Nar Shaddaa and Lonna Vash on Korriban. The Exile, wanting to know why he had been exiled traveled to these worlds in search of the Jedi in an attempt to unite them against the Sith and to find the answers to his questions.

Betrayal
After locating and conversing with all of the remaining Jedi Masters, the Exile returned to Dantooine to find the rebuilt Jedi Enclave. There, Masters Vrook, Kavar and Zez-Kai Ell had formed a council in which they would decide her fate (Master Lonna Vash had already been killed). Right after they reestablished her exile and just before the Masters could strip her of the Force once again, Kreia stormed into the meeting to save the Exile at the last moment. The Exile, still under her stasis state established by the Masters, was left helpless to defend them as Kreia put the Jedi Masters through the same suffering the Exile had felt on Malachor V, leaving them not only dead, but void of the Force.

After she left, the Exile finally regained hir strength and departed for Telos to find Kreia, who had now assumed the title of Darth Traya. Once she had arrived the Exile was forced to confront Atris, who had been infected with the Dark-side of the Force at the secret academy. After she defeated her, the Exile was able to persuade Atris to forgive her and helped herself see the folly of her beliefs. Atris then told the Exile that Traya had fled to Malachor V to wait for her there for a final confrontation. Afterwards Atris declared herself an ex-Jedi and went into exile try to find understanding.

The Battle of Telos
Shortly thereafter, a Sith fleet arrived in orbit of Telos having been drawn to the academy in the polar region. With the assistance of the Mandalorians and Mandalore himself, the Exile boarded and engaged the thired Sith – Darth Nihilus aboard the Ravager, to keep him from destroying Telos in order to fuel his need and hunger for the Force. With the assistance of Visas Marr, the former apprentice to Nihilus, the Exile defeated him and headed to Malachor V.

The end of the Purge
Having succeded in defending Telos and defeating Darth Nihilus the Exile and his associates made their way to Malachor V. After "landing" on the surface of Malachor V, the Exile proceeded to the Trayus Academy, battling his way through several Storm Beasts, and later Sith warriors and assassins before confronting Darth Sion himself. After an intense and prolonged duel the Exile finally brought Sion to the realisation that Kreia was using him and that she didn't care what happened to him. Having persuaded him to let go of his hatred, Sion finally succumbed to his numerous injuries. The Exile then made his way in the Trayus Core where he confronted Darth Traya. After a fierce battle, the Exile succedded in defeating the Sith Lord but spared her life. Before she gave her life to the Force, Kreia gave the Exile information about Revan's location in the Unknown Regions and about the future fates of the Exile's allies and the planets they had visited. Shortly after this exchange, Bao-Dur's remote reactivated the Mass Shadow Generator in order to completely destroy the planet. The crew of the badly damaged Ebon Hawk retrieved the Exile and escaped the planet.

Conclusion
With the defeat of the Sith Trimumvirate and the "restoration" of the Jedi Order, the Exile left the Republic in the hands of his "Lost Jedi" and begun his journey to find Revan.
