Chaos spreads across the Galactic Republic. Once a bastion of peace, it has become riddled with corruption, as Crime Syndicates manipulate the Senate from the shadows. Senators beg the Jedi for help, but the Order, led by Grand Master Hemlin Coturk, refuses to intervene, holding fast to the Code. A faction of dissenting Jedi, led by Patren Shal, disagrees. Patren not only thinks that the Jedi must intervene, but too believes that, the only way to defeat the syndicates is to tap into the forbidden texts. Patren's followers, many young and ambitious, quickly grow in strength, spreading fear and corruption even within the Order itself. Seeing the lingering threat among these fallen Jedi, Grand Master Coturk and a handful of Masters go into their huts and eliminates each member, one by one; silently. Initially, these dark Jedi do not understand what is going on, though when they do, Patren rallies them, to take one last stand against the "weak," Jedi. Many dark Jedi die in this fight, but Patren, his apprentice, Lyssa Manin, and closest friend, Quarven Starros, survive. They flee into the unknown regions, training in secret, honing their mastery of the dark side, determined to one day seek revenge on the Jedi Order. Fearing the Dark Jedi will seize control of the galaxy, the Council makes a painful decision: the Jedi abandon their remote sanctuaries, including Ahch-To, and relocate to Coruscant. Drawn into the heart of galactic politics, they must safeguard freedom while confronting the shadows rising within their own ranks.
