The Jedi Code
- "Certainly a Jedi should know the Code, by word and by heart. But every Jedi is in some fashion negligent, from the lowest Padawan to the highest Master. Consequently, were some to demand, 'What is the true meaning of the Jedi Code?' the Jedi who promptly answered would be rare indeed."

Odan-Urr History
In 33 ABY, the Disciples of Odan-Urr established themselves as House Odan-Urr on New Tython under the leadership of Ji, a Gand Jedi, and were welcomed into the fold of the Dark Brotherhood with support from the Dark Council and Darth Ashen, who asserted his influence over the House through his pawn Solari. Under Ji's guidance, House Odan-Urr focused on domestic affairs on New Tython, with particular emphasis towards the Harakoan tribesmen and their plight against the human colonists that had settled on the planet. The Jedi functioned more as diplomats, advisors and mediators, smoothing over the troubles of these times.
After two years of protection afforded by the whims of Darth Ashen, it was finally decided that the Dark Brotherhood would crush the Light Jedi. A full-scale invasion was launched against New Tython, and with no hope of victory by themselves, the Jedi allied with Michael Halcyon, a very powerful Light Jedi Master and long-time enemy of the Brotherhood. Michael sought aid from Eojin Quon-Shen and employed a Mandalorian army from Clan Ordo.
The Brotherhood were ultimately successful, destroying much of Menat Ombo and crushing House Odan-Urr and Clan Ordo. Michael Halcyon was slain by his brother, Halcyon Taldrya, and Eojin Quon-Shen was killed by his former apprentice, Darth Ashen. Having achieved the death of two major enemies of the Brotherhood, Darth Ashen decided to spare the remaining Jedi of the House, believing that the Jedi had learnt a valuable lesson: the Brotherhood could not be defeated.
To enforce security on New Tython, the orbital space station Sanctuary was constructed by Clan Arcona, controlled by a computer system designed by the Seneschal Orv Dessrx d'Tana.
The Jedi of Odan-Urr were widely blamed for the destruction wrought upon New Tython by the Dark Brotherhood. Agreeing to step back from politics, control of the planet was returned to the common people, who elected their own ruling council of representatives. Cy Thuron, whom many viewed as a crazy hermit, rose up as a political dissident, using his charisma to build a strong following and create the New Dawn, a political party opposed to the Jedi and the ruling council.
Cy Thuron focused on pro-human sentiment amongst the colonists, and opposed the ruling council whom he viewed as Jedi sponsored puppets. Matters escalated with the bombing of the Ooroo Abbey, resulting in the death of High Councilor Ji. He was succeeded by Drodik Va'lance al'Tor.
In the aftermath of the terrorist bombing, Gideon Varos rose up as a champion of human rights, leading the ruling council through the process of rebuilding their city. Cy Thuron led an expedition through the wilderness to an area saturated with the Dark Side.
After conceding government to Gideon Varos and his council, the Jedi became mediators, ambassadors, and guardians of the peace. They constructed the Arca Praxeum, including a new library to safeguard their knowledge and hide a variety of artifacts. Amongst the artifacts hidden within the Praxeum was the Holocron of Antiquities, a powerful relic of the Jedi Master Odan-Urr. In a surprise attack by an unknown military force, the Holocron was stolen. While many suspected that Cy Thuron was behind this attack, it was never proven, as he had vanished and the New Dawn were struggling to live their lives in the wilderness. Unable to determine the source of this attack, High Councilor Drodik Va'lance al'Tor interrogated a captured soldier and learnt hints of a greater and more sinister plan.
The Horizon Plague was a bio-weapon that significantly amplified the ability of Force-users to connect and utilize the Force, before the powerful connection was burnt out, leaving the afflicted to die from a sharp transformation of their metabolism. Like the rest of the Brotherhood, House Odan-Urr was devastated by the plague, and without their own Elders the Jedi struggled to protect their own from the ravages of the Plague and the invasion of a powerful fleet under the control of former Grand Master Zoraan. Finally, a cure was designed by Macron Goura Sadow, and with its deployment on New Tython the Jedi were saved.
The One Sith finally revealed himself in an epic assault against the Brotherhood, carving a swath of devastation through the galaxy. After the Brotherhood managed to fend off the initial invasion, the Dark Jedi declared war and began a lengthy crusade to exterminate the One Sith and his powerful armies. Seeing that the Brotherhood and One Sith were both locked at each other's throats, High Councilor Liam Torun seized on the opportunity to conduct a guerrilla warfare campaign against both enemies. While the two factions were too powerful for the Jedi to openly oppose, the guerrilla campaign proved quite successful, resulting in many casualties and the salvaging of essential supplies and military equipment to strengthen House Odan-Urr. During the Crusade, the Jedi of Odan-Urr designed the Nomad robes to help them with their covert operations.
As the Crusade dragged on, the Jedi eventually sought a respite on their home planet, New Tython, only to discover that disaster had struck in their absence. Cy Thuron had employed a large army of mercenaries and decimated Menat Ombo and the main populated continent, Owyhyee, all in one night and in as his mental state continued to deteriorate, he declared himself King of New Tython. Upon our return, the Jedi of Odan-Urr infiltrated the planet and recognized that we could not stop the mercenary army. We tried to rescue civilians instead, evacuating many people including Kaira Rohana's daughter to the Ordain Vonoro Spaceport. There, the young Jedi Knight Elleron Morakei made his last stand against our enemies.
With his rule now more or less unopposed, the Mad King imprisoned Gideon Varos and Whenua, the free leaders of the human and Harakoan groups, within the newly-formed death camp of Purity Rock along with any other dissidents and Harakoans the Mad King laid his hands on.
Guided by the Force, Liam Torun found a hidden planet on the edges of known space. Naming the new planet Haven, the refugees of New Tython settled there in a makeshift town called New Menat, and the planet was used as an assembly point and stash for the trophies of war which the Jedi of Odan-Urr would win during the rest of the Dark Crusade.
Recognizing that the Jedi could not liberate New Tython from Cy Thuron's tyrannical grasp on their own, the Jedi of Odan-Urr infiltrated Talus and seized control of a small army of ships and droids, repurposing them to suit their own needs. The Jedi of Odan-Urr continued to gather their strength, forming an alliance with the Bothan crew of the Nebulus-class Star Destroyer Fey'lya's Last Stand. Finally, after months of preparation, we were ready to take back our home.
The Knights of Allusis were lured to the planet Varonat and captured by a band of mercenaries, who would take them to Purity Rock. Leaping to action, Strike Team Ooroo infiltrated Purity Rock and freed the Knights of Allusis, laying some of the initial ground-work for the next invasion of New Tython.
With the might of the NSD Fey'lya's Last Stand and the conviction of the righteous, the Jedi of Odan-Urr invaded New Tython. Strike Team Ooroo disabled the Sanctuary space station and the Knights of Allusis invaded the planet. Liberating one city after another, the Jedi relentlessly assaulted the Mad King Cy Thuron's armies, freeing city after city until finally, only Menat Ombo remained. Fuelled by the deaths of Jonuss Rai and Tur'el Sokar, Liam Torun defeated Cy Thuron in a duel and Cy fell to his demise. Crippled and dying on the street, he finally came to his senses in his last moments before the Titan of New Tython stomped him into oblivion. Finally, New Tython was free!
The Jedi, alongside the many factions that had joined them in the uprising, drafted the Treaty of Menat Ombo to help ensure peace and security for everyone. Each faction became signatories to the Treaty, pledging that each group would operate as a sovereign nation under their own jurisdiction, with their own leadership, and that each would work towards the peaceful future of New Tython.
