Legions of Lettow

General Information Body Paragraph

The Legion of Lettow, was a group of Dark Jedi consisting of primarily acolytes and apprentices of the Kashi Mer Dynasty exile and Jedi Renunciate Xendor. They were one of the earliest breakaway sects of the Order that saw their defeat at the end of a war with the Jedi.

History/Background Body Paragraph

A well respected and well-known Jedi Knight at the time named Xendor was studying the planet Ossus, home to the culture studying Ashla, also known as the Light side of the Force. Xendor often questioned the traditions of the Jedi and wished to research more into separate traditions of the Force. One day, he approached the Jedi Council, seeking to establish a separate Order that studied such traditions and darker aspects of the force, such as the Bogan. However, the Council refused. Ignoring the Council’s decision, Xendor decided to quietly break off from the Order and traveled to the planet called Lettow which studied the darker side of the Force, Bogan. Teaching about traditions such as the Order of Dai Bendu, the Followers of Palawa, the Kashi Mer Guardians of Breath, the Baran Do, and the Chatos Academy, Xendor’s academy quickly attracted attention of those around it. It was these Acolytes that invented the name ‘The Legions of Lettow’ as they knew there would be a battle coming if they were to defend their traditions from the Jedi Council’s rule. Regardless of being different to the Jedi Order, they still followed a similar initiation process to new acolytes, for example, the forging of Force-imbued blades was carried over from ancient Tythonese practices. The Initiates underwent an extremely dangerous process where they would take high-carbon steel and shape it in a dangerous ritual. With the furnace-forged steel, the Legionnaires adopted the ancient Jar'Kai fighting art, calling it Niman. During the mid 24,500s BBY, the Jedi Council had grown tired of the Legions of Lettow and decided they needed to get rid of them for once and for all. Forming a massive army, the High Council forced the Legionnaires into open combat. Xendor decided to bring the war directly to Ossus in order to avoid mass bloodshed. During the battle, Xendor's forces were pushed back and forced to commit troops to several fronts as the Order pushed the Legionnaires towards the galaxy's core.  Xendor was ignored and branded as a warlord by the Republic after attempting to warn them of the Jedi Order’s twisted plans. The Jedi leader, Awdrysta Pina managed to come into direct battle with Xendor on Columus. Known as the Green Blade, Master Pina and his Jedi Knights were able to separate Xendor's vanguard from the bulk of his army through the use of a strong Force meld. Cutting through powerful warriors such as Sethul Asaiage and Tun Bohoi, Pina eventually dueled Xendor and slew him in hand-to-hand combat. Arden Lyn, Xendor’s lover, then assumed authority of the remaining Legionnaires on Lettow. As Pina's forces sacked the academy, Lyn and her comrades held off the Jedi until the surviving Legionnaires could escape Republic Space where they could no longer harm them. Lyn was hunted mercilessly by Master Pina and he finally cornered her on Irkalla. There, Lyn used a Kashi Mer talisman gifted to her by Xendor to shatter Pina's blade and send the shards through his body. Pina poured his last bit of life into attacking Lyn with the Morichro technique, stopping her heart and nearly killing her.
