Lost Jedi

"They were the Lost Jedi, you know. The true Jedi, upon which the future will be built. They simply needed a leader, and a teacher."

- Darth Traya

The expression Lost Jedi was used to refer to withdrawing Jedi throughout the galaxy, in the aftermath of the Jedi Civil War.

Lost Jedi
Republic Intelligence reports indicated evidence that the Jedi Order had suffered even greater casualties after the war, when the First Jedi Purge was being perpetrated, but the information remained classified until some time after the devastation of Katarr, so the dissolution of the Order became one of the greatest mysteries of that time. The surviving Jedi had actually gone into self-imposed exile, hiding their presence until the Sith threat that was stalking them could be found. Jedi Masters Zez-Kai Ell, Kavar, and Vrook Lamar, were Lost Jedi, as was Bastila Shan. Lonna Vash possibly was into exile for a while, but then decided to travel to Korriban to find the Sith Lord Darth Sion, and perished. Atris resided in her secret Jedi Academy on Telos IV, unknown to the Sith and Jedi alike, as she was to attend the conclave on Katarr and was assumed to have died there. Just prior to the Battle of Telos IV, as agreed with her, the Jedi Exile had what remained of the Jedi High Council assembled on Dantooine, but again Atris would not expose herself.

Vrook, Kavar, and Zez-Kai Ell all fell to the second coming of Darth Traya, who murdered them in the ruins of the Jedi Enclave. After she was defeated by the Exile, she referred to the Exile's disciples as the true "Lost Jedi" upon which the future of the Order would be built. Although they did not receive formal Jedi training, the Exile's Force-sensitive followers eventually became the Masters of the rebuilding Jedi Order. Specifically, following the Exile's departure for the Unknown Regions, Mical would sit on the new Jedi High Council as a Jedi Master, and sentence Atris for her crimes. The Echani Brianna, the sixth and youngest of the Handmaiden Sisters, was also a follower of the Jedi Exile, and was considered one of the Lost Jedi. According to Kreia's predictions, she would succeed Atris as Jedi Historian.
