| The '''Sixth Great Jedi War''' or '''Third Brotherhood Civil War''' was a conflict that occured in mid [[20 ABY to 25 ABY | 25 ABY]]. The [[Clan|clans]] had been on the brink of civil war for months with several incidents breaking out.

| ==History==
| | Okemi had been driven insane by a spirit out of time called the [[Nameless Ones]] or simply the "consciousness". Okemi spread this corruption in an attempt to consume the Brotherhood in civil war and finally claim vengeance against the [[Dark Lord of the Sith|Dark Lords of the Sith]]. After getting word of the conflict Firefox returned and slew the ancient [[Lord of the Star Chamber]], ending his influence forever. |
| In the middle of [[20 ABY to 25 ABY | 25 ABY]] internal relations within the brotherhood broke down entirely. Many of the clans accused others of sabotage and unsanctioned infiltration. Within weeks the situation escalated with several openly declaring war on others. Into the chaos stepped Jaac Cotelin, a clone of the Grand Master, declaring himself to be the rightful Dark Lord of the Sith. Having been on the brink of conflict for several months the brotherhood descended into civil war. Unable to distinguish one from the other many clans ended up taking sides, others simply watched from a distance in the hopes the two Grand Masters would destroy each other.

| Jac Cotelin gathered forces from the clans still loyal to him to [[Antei]] while the clone assembled an army and prepared to launch an all out assault. After several months of preparation Jaac Cotelin launched his assault on Antei, his fleet descending on the ships amassed to defend the brotherhood's homeworld. After breaking through to the surface the imposter's army descended on the [[Dark Hall]], taking the battle right to the steps of the [[Star Chamber]] itself.
| | == History == |
| | The War of the Star Chamber opened with a subtle declaration of war. Construction of the [[Dark Hall]] began almost immediately after the arrival of the Brotherhood following the [[Exodus|Great Exodus]]. Before the project was even remotely finished the Oracle, Trevarus Sadow, began meditating in the observatory of the unfinished edifice. He made contact with a series of voices that proclaimed a desire for fire, destruction and blood. Transcribed by his [[Praetor|praetor]], [[Vassan Rokir]], these communications became the [[Tenebric Conclusions]]. Trevarus delivered them to Lord Firefox and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin -- both men ignored the portents. |

| |
|
| In a final test of lightsaber against lightsaber, Jac Cotelin slew the clone restoring order to the brotherhood. However, the damage was done regardless, trust between the clans remained unstable and much of the Dark Hall stood in ruins.
| | As part of a campaign to wrest control of the space lanes around the [[Antei system]] the [[Sith High Warrior]], [[Xanos]], drew battle plans with [[Obelisk High Commander]] Shaithis to put down the piracy of the [[Antaran|Antarans]]. Their strategy was flawless and the alien species was crushed. Unbeknownst to the [[Dark Council]] at the time the war throughout the [[Shroud]] had awakened Okemi, an ancient Sith Lord who had been exiled from the [[starwars:Sith_Empire|Sith Empire]] millennia before. It was Okemi who had first formed the Star Chamber and founded the Sith civilization on [[Antei]], becoming the first Lord of the Star Chamber. Though still unknown, Okemi had been driven mad by the consciousness and that insanity had caused the destruction of the Star Chamber four millienia prior. Lord Firefox's arrival on his throneworld brought fire into the singular presence of Okemi and caused him to bring that corruption into the Brotherhood. |

| Following the conflict the clone's origin remained a mystery, though some speculated it had been created by a sect of rogue brotherhood members.
| | Workers blasting power-line relays in the area around the Dark Hall uncovered a massive shaft deep under the valley. The Oracle immediately ordered all construction halted and dispatched one of his junior apprentices to investigate. He returned and attempted to kill the Oracle and his praetor.
