| Unbeknownst to the council at the time, the war throughout the [[Shroud]] had awoken Okemi, an ancient Sith Lord who had been exiled from the [[Sith Empire]] millennia before. Indeed it was Okemi who had first formed the Star Chamber and founded the Sith civilisation on Antei, becoming the first Lord of the Star Chamber. Under the cover of the recent war, Okemi had secretly corrupted several members of the brotherhood leadership, including Jac Cotelin who was at the time filling in for the Grand Master while he was away on business in the Imperial Remnant.
| | In his absence, while [[Firefox]] secretly oversaw the construction of a new [[Dark Hall]] on [[Antei]], several of the Clans' systems were besieged by a powerful alliance of pirates, brigands and bounty hunters. It was unclear where the pirate alliance had come from or if they were the same group of Cordona pirates who had been routed by [[Justinian Khyron]] years before. |
|
| |
|
| The next six months saw Okemi's influence spread throughout the brotherhood. Like a parasite Okemi exerted his Force-control over anybody his mind came into contact with, dominating them like puppets to further spread his influence. Jac Cotelin and the [[Dark Jedi Master]] [[Kem-Shu Maeda]] served as his primary hosts corrupting whole swathes of the brotherhood.
| | For the first time since [[Archibald Zoraan]] had schemed his way to the [[Iron Throne]] the Clans issued a truce with one another. Under the direction of the Shadow Hand, Mairin Astoris, the Clans united to form the Alliance of Seven. Too much was at stake with the Dark Brotherhood already planning its eventual migration to the Antei system to allow it to be consumed in a petty feud with the scum of the galaxy. |
|
| |
|
| Eventually the [[Sith High Warrior]], [[Xanos]], managed to get off Antei, having been stuck there since Jac Cotelin ordered the system's closure and got word to Firefox. Upon his return to brotherhood space the Dark Lord assembled a force from the remaining loyalists, those who had not yet lost their minds to Okemi's control and launched an assault on Antei. Firefox squared off with Jac Cotelin, eventually chasing him off. As the Grand Master battled outside the ruins of the ancient Star Chamber the high warrior took up arms against Kem-Shu Maeda. However, the high warrior was bested and the rogue Dark Jedi Master escaped.
| | Before the combined might of the Clans the pirate alliance was eventually routed. |
|
| |
|
| Finally, the Firefox made his way to Okemi's hidden chamber and put an end to the ancient Sith Lord once and for all, restoring the free will of the corrupted and order to the brotherhood and bringing an end to the curse that had hung over Antei since the [[Obscuration]]. The original Star Chamber was finally dead.
| | In the aftermath of the conflict Alliance of Seven was seen as too powerful and a threat to the Imperial Remnant's grip over the Dark Brotherhood. The Remnant attempted to court martial Mairin Astoris for her involvement in helping forge the alliance, hoping to shatter it in the process. Before she could be executed the Shadow Hand fled into exile. The Imperial leadership's plan backfired and rather than break the Alliance of Seven their actions drove a wedge between the Clans and the Imperial Remnant which would later have serious repercussions during the [[Exodus]]. |

| |
| *The original idea for a "force infection" came from [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor]]. He and [[Jac Cotelin]] were originally planning to use the idea in a Taldryan-run Vendetta (or Talydetta) during Chi-Long's reign. Jac later proposed the idea to a welcoming [[Trevarus Caerick]]
| |
| *Jac really pissed off Trevarus by making him write into the GJW fiction a ceremony depicting the promotion of Trev's arch-nemesis, Kaiann, to Dark Jedi Master.

The Fifth Great Jedi War (also known as the Forging of the Alliance of Seven) is a conflict that took place during 12 ABY. It saw the Dark Brotherhood besieged by a consortium of pirates, brigands and bounty hunters. Under the direction of then Shadow Hand Mairin Astoris the Clans were forced to set aside their differences and unite under the banner of the Alliance of Seven.
History
In his absence, while Firefox secretly oversaw the construction of a new Dark Hall on Antei, several of the Clans' systems were besieged by a powerful alliance of pirates, brigands and bounty hunters. It was unclear where the pirate alliance had come from or if they were the same group of Cordona pirates who had been routed by Justinian Khyron years before.
For the first time since Archibald Zoraan had schemed his way to the Iron Throne the Clans issued a truce with one another. Under the direction of the Shadow Hand, Mairin Astoris, the Clans united to form the Alliance of Seven. Too much was at stake with the Dark Brotherhood already planning its eventual migration to the Antei system to allow it to be consumed in a petty feud with the scum of the galaxy.
Before the combined might of the Clans the pirate alliance was eventually routed.
In the aftermath of the conflict Alliance of Seven was seen as too powerful and a threat to the Imperial Remnant's grip over the Dark Brotherhood. The Remnant attempted to court martial Mairin Astoris for her involvement in helping forge the alliance, hoping to shatter it in the process. Before she could be executed the Shadow Hand fled into exile. The Imperial leadership's plan backfired and rather than break the Alliance of Seven their actions drove a wedge between the Clans and the Imperial Remnant which would later have serious repercussions during the Exodus.
