Eison Gynt
 "Eison Gynt was a fourth generation Jedi, widely considered to be the most promising Padawan in the Order."

- Gnost-Dural

Eison Gynt was a Nautolan male Jedi Knight of the Old Republic, born to a family line of Jedi. In the years of his youth, he was considered the most talented Padawan in the Jedi Order, and was taken as an apprentice by Master Barel Ovair, a secret spy for the Sith Empire. During a mission to Yavin 4 to explore the tomb of the Sith Lord Naga Sadow, Ovair abandoned Gynt. Ovair reported Gynt's death to the Senate on Coruscant, but Gynt was actually still alive, possessed by the spirit of Sadow. Under Sadow's control, Gynt resurfaced on Coruscant several years later and was slain by Ovair in open combat. Ovair's Imperial allegiance and complicity in Gynt's death were not revealed until years later, when Jedi historian Gnost-Dural researched the events of the mission to Yavin 4 and Gynt's reappearance.

Barel Ovair
 "Ovair's triumph over darkness was celebrated, and the Jedi Council assumed that all was well. The question no one asked was this: 'Why would Naga Sadow's spirit seek vengeance, specifically against Master Ovair?'"

- Gnost-Dural

Barel Ovair was a prestigious Human male Jedi Master of the Old Republic. He was the scion of a respected line of Jedi Knights who were all secretly spies working for the Emperor of the Sith Empire. Ovair took Eison Gynt, a highly skilled Nautolan Padawan and a fourth-generation Jedi, as his apprentice, but abandoned him during a mission to the tomb of the Sith Lord Naga Sadow on Yavin 4. When Ovair returned to Coruscant alone weeks afterward, he claimed that Gynt had been killed. However, Gynt resurfaced on Coruscant years later, possessed by Sadow's spirit and determined to kill Ovair. Ovair defeated Gynt in combat, slaying him, and was lauded as a hero for his triumph. It was not until many years later that the Jedi historian Gnost-Dural connected Ovair and his family line to the Sith Emperor. (Read more...) {| width="100%" style="background: transparent; "

Duel on Coruscant (Inter–Sith Wars Period)
 "Possessed by the dark spirit of Naga Sadow, Gynt attacked his former master in broad daylight. The brutal battle between the two was staged with all of the Republic watching."

- Gnost-Dural

Around seventy-five years before the beginning of the Great Galactic War, a lightsaber duel occurred on the Galactic Republic's capital world of Coruscant. The duel was fought between Jedi Master Barel Ovair and his former apprentice, the Nautolan Eison Gynt. After being abandoned by Ovair years before on Yavin 4, Gynt had become possessed by the spirit of the long-dead Dark Lord of the Sith Naga Sadow. Sadow sought to kill Ovair, who was in fact an agent of the reformed Sith Empire and was operating within the Republic as an infiltrator in preparation for the Sith's future invasion of the Republic. The possessed Gynt attacked Ovair on Coruscant but was defeated in the ensuing duel. In killing his former apprentice, Ovair also fulfilled a directive handed down to him by the Sith Emperor&mdash;to neutralize the spirits of past Sith in order to avoid complications when the Empire's invasion commenced.

Voss (species)
 "The last Gormak must not die&hellip;"

- Decree of the Voss, enacted after a prophecy by the Voss Mystics

The Voss were a sentient humanoid species native to the planet of the same name, in the Voss system of the Allied Tion sector of the Outer Rim Territories. Their capital city was Voss-Ka, a fortified settlement atop a mountain. Their totalitarian society was defended by commandos and ruled by Force-wielding mystics, who served as seers and healers and whom the other members of the species considered infallible. The Voss population was small, vastly outnumbered by their homeworld's other native group, the Gormak&mdash;a species who saw the Voss as an aberration to be eliminated. For centuries, the Voss fended off the assaults of the Gormak.

Following the Treaty of Coruscant in 3,653 BBY, which ended the Great Galactic War and started the Cold War, off-worlders discovered the planet Voss by chance, becoming known to both the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic. The Empire attempted to conquer the planet, so the Republic moved in to defend the world from Imperial assault. The Voss Mystics, forewarned by their gift of prophecy, revealed themselves and were able to fend off both occupation forces. Following their mutual defeat, the Empire and Republic established embassies in Voss-Ka in an attempt to curry favor with the Voss. (Read more...) {| width="100%" style="background: transparent; "

Gormak
 "The last Gormak must not die&hellip;"

- Decree of the Voss, enacted after a prophecy by the Voss Mystics

The Gormak were sentient humanoids native to the planet Voss, a world in the Voss system of the Allied Tion sector in the Outer Rim Territories. They were the more populous of their homeworld's two native sentient species&mdash;and they were extremely hostile toward the other, a species known as the Voss. The Gormak were equally hostile toward off-worlders, whom they viewed as allies of the Voss. The Gormak possessed an innate comprehension of technology, although they did not develop flight capability prior to contact with off-worlders. When the planet Voss was discovered by non-natives shortly after the end of the Great Galactic War in 3,653 BBY, the Sith Empire attempted to conquer the world, which the Sith thought was only populated by the Gormak. The attempt failed due to the intervention of the Voss species, and the planet remained independent. Embassies were established by the Empire and the Galactic Republic to curry favor with the Voss alone, an oversight that angered the Gormak. The Gormak built mines, settled in camps, and scavenged stolen technology for their weapons and spacecraft. (Read more...)

Unidentified Jedi (Battle of Alderaan)
 A Human female Jedi was a member of the Jedi Order during the time of the Great Galactic War, which raged from 3,681 BBY to 3,653 BBY. She battled numerous Sith while supporting the Galactic Republic in the war against the Sith Empire. At the height of the conflict, the Sith Lord Darth Malgus led a surprise attack on the planet Alderaan, crushing Republic defenses with a massive invasion force. The female Jedi joined the Republic Army's special forces unit Havoc Squad in leading a counterattack against the Sith.

As the invasion force moved through the Alderaanian forests, Havoc Squad launched an ambush and engaged Darth Malgus directly in combat. Despite the element of surprise, the Republic forces took many casualties and were almost overwhelmed by the superior number of the Sith force before the female Jedi joined the battle. While the Republic forces regained their momentum, she attacked Darth Malgus, displaying her prowess with her double-bladed lightsaber. With great difficulty and the aid of the Havoc Squad commander she was able to defeat Darth Malgus and secure a victory for the Republic. (Read more...)

Battle of the Sluis sector
 "Elsewhere in the Outer Rim, the Sith staged more targeted strikes, destroying our shipyards in the Sluis sector, blockading the Rimma Trade Route, and seizing control of the rich resources of the Minos Cluster."

- Gnost-Dural

Shortly after the Sith Empire's return to known space in 3,681 BBY, Imperial forces launched an attack on the Galactic Republic's holdings in Sluis sector in one of the earliest battles of the Great Galactic War. The attack was part of the Sith Emperor's strategy to secure the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories early in his war against the Republic. The Imperial Navy led the assault, which was focused primarily on the Republic shipyards in the sector. Sith starfighters engaged the shipyard's defenses and ultimately destroyed the orbital station with little resistance from the Republic Military, as the galactic government had been caught off-guard by the swiftness of the Sith's incursion upon the galaxy.

Great Galactic War emergency defense prioritization session of the Galactic Senate
 "Irate senators stormed out in protest over decisions which left their representative sectors exposed to attack. Many of the Republic's diplomatic allies refused to commit their military support to the greater cause. It was every system for itself."

- Jedi Master Gnost-Dural

In the early days of the Great Galactic War, the Galactic Republic suffered several successive losses to the newly-discovered Sith Empire in the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories. After the Republic Navy's defeat in the Tingel Arm and several other defense failures across the Rim, the Galactic Senate and the Jedi High Council called for an emergency congressional session to organize the Republic Military's defense of the galaxy. The session was inconclusive, as the delegates attempting to select the military's priorities were unable to agree, with many declaring that they were unwilling to participate if their worlds were not properly defended. The Republic's diplomatic allies, who would have otherwise contributed their military forces to the greater war effort, refused to commit their resources to the fight against the Sith. Ultimately, the inability of the Senate to come to a consensus allowed the Sith time to regroup and prepare for what would become a twenty-eight year conflict&mdash;one that saw the Republic politically crippled and militarily defeated.

Fekk
 "Fekk, Gelss, get ready for action."

- Shinqo, to Fekk and Gelss

Fekk was a Sullustan pirate who served under Captain Jet Nebula aboard the starship Auriga Fire. The ship originally worked for the Republic, but eventually the crew became more inclined to answer the Hutt Cartel. During the Cold War, when the Auriga Fire intercepted the starship Cinzia, Fekk was among the crew members who joined the Rodian Shinqo in mutiny in hopes of taking the Cinzia for themselves. Holding Nebula at blasterpoint, Shinqo ordered Fekk and fellow Sullustan Gelss to prepare for action, but the Cinzia suddenly exploded. In the confusion, Nebula's droid grabbed Shinqo's blaster and pointed it at the Rodian, who yielded. With the ship back under Nebula's control, the crew found a navicomp and a nest that produced hex droids&mdash;an apprehensive type of droid created by Lema Xandret&mdash;amidst the Cinzia wreckage.

Seizure of the Seswenna sector
 "After the Sith offensive seized the Seswenna sector of the Outer Rim, the Imperial armada tuned its sights closer to the Core. The Mid Rim."

- Jedi Master Gnost-Dural

In 3,671 BBY, during the Great Galactic War between the Old Republic and resurgent Sith Empire, the Seswenna sector in the Outer Rim Territories was seized by Sith forces. This military operation finalized the Imperial conquest of the Outer Rim and allowed for the Sith Emperor to initiate plans for an attack on the Mid Rim, specifically the Republic-allied world of Bothawui.

Darth Drear
 "Darth Drear wrote that he had found an elixir for staving off death itself, the ingredients of which he recorded in the Holocron&mdash;including, of course, your beloved orchid. The mixture was complete in and of itself, with a single flaw&mdash; The inevitable dissolution of the tissue."

- Darth Scabrous, to Hestizo Trace

Darth Drear was a male Sith Lord who served the Sith Empire around 4,645 BBY. He founded a Sith academy on the planet Odacer-Faustin and worked his students to death as they labored in the construction of the academy. Beneath the academy library, Drear built a temple, where he practiced Sith alchemy and searched for a pathway to immortality. He developed an elixir to fulfill his goal, effectively creating a disease that turned all those infected into zombies, knowledge he recorded into a holocron. Before Drear could successfully implement the final stage of his project, however, he succumbed to the effects of the disease and died. (Read more...)

Traan
 "For those of you who just arrived, I will explain this only once. Although in truth, I shouldn't have to explain it at all. Your own Force sensitivity ought to be sufficient for you to realize that we're dealing with an unforeseen development at the academy&mdash;a chain of events that, at this point, is still unclear."

- Master Traan, to a convocation of Sith students

Traan was a Human male who served as a Master in the Sith Order under the banner of the reconstituted Sith Empire. In 3,645 BBY, Traan was serving as an instructor at the Sith academy on the frozen planet of Odacer-Faustin under the direction of the Sith Lord Darth Scabrous. That year, one of Lord Scabrous's alchemical experiments resulted in the creation of a virus that killed living flesh and reanimated the deceased. When an infected student escaped Scabrous's tower and began to spread the disease, Traan and the academy's other Masters sensed a disturbance in the Force and decided to suspend normal instruction until the issue passed. Traan informed the students of the choice during a short convocation, but the decision ultimately did little good&mdash;the disease quickly claimed the lives of the entirety of the student body as well as those of the academy's leaders.

Darth Vich


Darth Vich was a male who served as a Lord in the reconstituted Sith Empire around 3,681 BBY. Vich ascended to the position at a young age, and was still considered young when the Empire revealed itself to the greater galaxy and initiated a massive war with the Galactic Republic. Shortly after the beginning of the conflict, Darth Vich discovered the planet Rattatak and its warlike inhabitants. He took hundreds of Rattataki tribes from the world and transformed them into his personal army, which he later attempted to use in an effort to take power in the Empire. The insurrection ultimately failed, and the majority of Vich's Rattataki forces were either killed or enslaved. (Read more...)

Val
 "Arra has already lost her mother. She can't lose her father too. It will crush her."

- Natala Yooms, referring to Val's death

Val was a Human female who lived during the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. Val was the sister of Natala Yooms, the wife of Zeerid Korr, and the mother of Arra Yooms. Although she lived with her husband and daughter on the Mid Rim world of Vulta, Val's time with Korr was limited, as he served as a commando and pilot for the Republic's Special Forces during the war. At some point prior to the Battle of Alderaan, Val became plagued with dizzy spells but still elected to take Arra to visit Korr during his planetside leave. While driving to meet her husband, Val suffered an episode and swerved into another airspeeder. The accident killed Val and crippled Arra, leaving Korr as a widower caring for a disabled daughter.

Unidentified Human female Jedi Knight (Sacking of Coruscant)


A Human female Jedi Knight served the Jedi Order during the time of the Great Galactic War. In 3,653 BBY, a Sith Imperial force led by Sith Lord Darth Malgus launched an attack on the Jedi Temple on the capital planet Coruscant. During the combat, Malgus killed the female Jedi with Force lightning. (Read more...)

Chancellor's Service Medal


The Chancellor's Service Medal was a prestigious medal awarded by the Galactic Republic for impressive feats in war. General Garza received the Chancellor's Service Medal for her actions during the Great Galactic War against the resurgent Sith Empire. Millennia later, during the Clone Wars, Clone Captain ARC-77&mdash;nicknamed Fordo&mdash;received the medal for his role in the Battle of Hypori in 22 BBY. However, Fordo refused the honor, instead having the Chancellor's Service Medal posthumously awarded to clone trooper CT-43/002, who had died in the Battle of Muunilinst of that same year.

Unidentified Republic trooper
 "Look out!"

- A smuggler shouts a warning before the trooper is killed by an explosion

A trooper serving the Galactic Republic was aboard a space station orbiting the planet Korriban in 3,681 BBY. The trooper, along with two Jedi and a corporal, helped escort a freighter captain who had been captured for smuggling Sith artifacts. When the forces of the resurgent Sith Empire arrived in the system, sparking the Great Galactic War, the Republic trooper helped defend the space station against attacking Sith troopers and Sith war droids, but was killed in an explosion.

Blockade of the Rimma Trade Route
 "In the first wave alone, the Sith succeeded in seizing control of several star systems in the Outer Rim, destroying the Republic’s shipyards in the Sluis sector, and strangling the popular Rimma Trade Route."

- A HoloNet dossier on the Sith Empire

In the year 3,681 BBY, the Rimma Trade Route was blockaded by the Sith Empire in an attempt to strangle the resources of the Galactic Republic. The action was one of the earliest conflicts of the Great Galactic War, and occurred shortly after the Empire's return to the known galaxy. As part of the Sith Emperor's plan to secure the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories, the Rimma super-hyperroute was locked down, which resulted in further Republic losses and interior political turmoil.
