Ossus/Legends

For thousands of years the Jedi knights have been the protectors of the galaxy. Many Galactic historians beleive that the original members of the ancient Jedi fellowsjhip originated from the planet Ossus. Ossus was at one time a rich, luscious land with a training center and the location of the 'Great Jedi Library. Jedi from all the worlds of the galaxy mingled freely, sharing knowledge and furthering the causes of justice and peace. This oasis of knowledge and peace was doomed however. During the Great Sith War Ulic Qel-Droma(once a respected Jedi knight but turned to the Dark side) joined forces with Exar Kun and detonated the stars of the Cron Cluster. The shockwave from this meant that Ossus had to be evacuated, and thousands of Jedi scrolls and holocrons had to be left behind. Exar Kun then arrived on Ossus determined to loot the planet of all it's riches. Before he could reach a valuable lightsabre vault he was stopped by Master Ood, a Neti (similar in shape and form to a tree) who planted his roots in the ground. Master Ood was one of the only remaining survivors when the shockwave struck, and the other survivors who escaped underground grew to become the Ysana tribe. Many years later Master Luke Skywalker visited Ossus with his apprentice Kam Solusar. At first the Ysana attacked them but then. when an imperial force arrived, they helped defend their planet, and Master Ood sacrificed himself to kill Sedriss (Clone Palpatine's new right hand man)
