Force Wars

The Force Wars was a century-long conflict that took place on Tython sometime just prior to the formation of the Republic. The conflict arose between the followers of the Ashla, or light side of the Force, and the followers of the Bogan, otherwise known as the dark side of the Force. In the aftermath of this conflict, the Light Force users of Tython established a monastic society of peace guardians, known as the Jedi.
