Article Title/Topic: Attack on Dantooine

General Information Body Paragraph:

The attack on the Planet of Dantooine was a massive planetary bombardment conducted in the year 3956 BBY by the sith’s combined fleet of Darth Malek during the times of the Jedi Civil war. The Jedi-Enclave that was located on dantooine was believed to be too heavily fortified and too defended to openly and acceptingly invite an attack by the Sith on their Enclave. Malek the Commander of the Sith forces, Saul Karat proved the Jedi Masters wrong and conducted a highly effective bombardment of the Planets Surface, successfully destroying the Enclave on dantooine and eliminating a high number of high-ranking Jedi. Ultimately resulting in a Sith Victory.

History/Background Body Paragraph

The attack on Dantooine occured on the year 3956 BBY. The Jedi council was well aware of the attack that was about to come due the Nature of the Force. But they were unable to do anything about it as they couldn’t evacuate as it wasn’t safe for them to do so as they had no protection from the Orbital Bombardment. When they tried to evacuate it was largely unsuccessful and only a handful of Jedi managed to escape the planet's surface safely. However thanks to their precognition of the on-coming assault, many of the high-ranking members were able to escape such as a Jedi Master that went by the name of  “Vandar Tokare”.  Dantooine suffered gravely from the Joke of the Sith, after the Jedi Enclave was exposed and the bombardment was completed. Sith troops then invaded and captured the world, with many innocent settlers arrested and executed without any given reason at that point in time. Malek took Captured Jedi and in the attack to the viewing point of the Star Forge, where they were placed in individual cells preventing them from becoming one with the Living Force and instead were used to enhance Malak’s own powers. After the sith were driven off Dantooine around Circa 3951 BBY presumably before that year. A sort of selective recollection gradually took hold amongst most of the populace with many of them growing to despise the Jedi as a whole and holding them the ones Responsible for their planet Dantooine’s woes, despite  much of the good wrought by the Academy for the prior decades. While these events had a massive impact on the planet of Dantooine and their settlers , leaving them completely unprotected which later led to the formation of Khoonda, the consequences for the Jedi Order itself were pretty much less significant. The Jedi that were vital for the Republic’s ultimate victory in the Jedi Civil wars, a few key people being Revan, Bastilla Shan, Juhanai, Jolee Bindo. We’re not present on dantooine when the strike was made by the Sith, busy searching for the Rakatan Star Maps, and the Council-Masters Dorak, Vrook Lamar, Zhar lestin and Vandar Tokare had survived the attack.

Additional Information Body Paragraph:

Quote I. "Obviously Malak knew the Academy was on Dantooine, and it has since been destroyed by our fleet! Dantooine is an empty graveyard now. Nothing remains but a smoking ruin and the charred remains of your former Masters!"

Only a hand-full of Jedi Managed to escape Dantooine and its massive bombardment. At least most of the Jedi Artifacts and holocrons, had been evacuated to Telos IV by Atris earlier incase of the oncoming attack that was supposed to happen at any given moment. The Jedi Population of the Enclave weakened  the Jedi Order greatly and Foreshadowed the Great Jedi Purge that was yet to come upon them.
