Jedi Warlord Wars

The Jedi Warlord Wars were a series of conflicts taken place shortly after the War of Darkness's end. This war was waged between a loose confederation of imitations of the Jedi Order and the United Republic. The ultimate ending was the total destruction of the Jedi Warlord Confederacy, along with the last remnants of the Jedi religion in the Inner and Mid Rims of the Galaxy being driven out.

The Jedi have always had a level of animosity towards the United Republic. Even after the exiling and fleeing of the treacherous Palpatine, the Jedi were always suspicious of a militarised Republic that could think for itself rather then use the Jedi as a security enforcement team. Grandmaster Yoda welcomed Pike and his second in command Sergei Vladimir's new government, but the rest of the Council bitterly disagreed.

In a surprise move of betrayal likely influenced by the corruption of the War of Darkness and Morgoth, Mace Windu and the rest of the Council exiled Yoda, the only ally Pike had in the Jedi Order. The Jedi became more and more corrupted and became bent in preserving their dogmatic teachings and culture, and thus they turned against the UR.

The Jedi Temple was stormed and the Order believed extinct, but they still were alive, greatly prospering in fact.

The Order was gone, rather then having a central seat of power on Coruscant the Jedi splintered into decentralised militias and rogue cells. They began resembling the old Army of Light in their more militaristic viewpoint.

The Jedi then morphed into a loose confederation of states and dejure kingdoms of Jedi Warlords, being organised by Mace Windu, who declared himself the Jedi Lord. The Jedi and their followers then began an armed insurgency against the United Republic. Too weakened by the recent war, the Republic lost the initial battles as the Pike army proved insufficient against elite Jedi legions.

However the Republic reorganised and began a counterattack into the Mid Rim territories with their superior Helicarriers and the Videogame League's assistance. Eventually Pike himself confronted Windu on Onderon and killed him, ending the Jedi Warlord Confederacy and causing their religion to collapse.
