The Eighth Great Jedi War, is a conflict that occurred over six days in 27 ABY between naval forces of the Yuuzhan Vong and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Immediately after the Second Darkness military exercise had concluded, the Yuuzhan Vong attacked a Brotherhood fleet of combined Clan warships on the edge of the astronomical object known as the Shroud.
The initial assault was a crushing defeat for the Brotherhood that splintered the fleet and forced the Clans to flee into the Shroud to fend for themselves. Following the bloodiest battle in the Dark Brotherhood's history, and the subsequent internecine struggle, the Dark Council was forced to abandon the Antei system with Grand Master Darth Sarin initiating the Braata Option and signaling a full retreat.

- "A true victory is to make your enemy see they were wrong to oppose you in the first place. To force them to acknowledge your greatness."
- ―Teylas Ramar, 47 BBY
Teylas Ramar is an Anzat Sith who currently serves as the Left Wing of Dread of Clan Plagueis within the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Throughout his long life he developed a formal education as an engineer, later developed skills as a trained pilot and eventually returned to his homeworld to experiment in the realm of politics.
Teylas would quickly describe himself as a self-centered, narcissistic and sarcastic insufferable genius. His wit has been described as deceptively cunning, with a sense of humor to match. In any combat situation, his nature as a strategist becomes apparent as he prefers to allow his opponent to make the first move. This allows him to both judge the combat effectiveness and tactics of his enemy while also allowing his opponent to become the aggressor. Ramar is an adherent of the recorded teachings of Darth Tyranus particularly his mastery in the art of dueling.

He soon shot to the fore, before being given the opportunity to lead the new Arconan Starfighter Corps.
- "He won't be the same. He can't be. Shadow Taldrya was killed..."
- ―Jac Cotelin, discussing the birth of Aidan Kincaid[src]
Aidan Kincaid was a powerful Human Dark Jedi serving under the tutelage of Jac Cotelin, a former Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood. He was difficult to read and, unlike most Dark Jedi, based his powers on cold, calculated logic rather than relying on bursts of negative emotion. He was a skilled tracker and investigator, and served as his master's operative in missions ranging across the galaxy.
In truth, "Aidan Kincaid" was an artificial persona created by Cotelin to replace the ravaged mind of Shadow Taldrya, who had succumbed to torture by the One Sith and turned against the Brotherhood. Using powerful Sith magics, Cotelin restructured both mind and body to create a new identity for the fallen Shadow known as Aidan Kincaid. To keep a close watch on Kincaid, Cotelin introduced him to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood as a secret apprentice to explain his power and skills. The memories of Kincaid's past life were utterly destroyed in the process, and all but a handful of people believed that Shadow Taldrya was killed in action on Rhelg at the hands of a Sith Lord known as Darth Silas. Out of fear of Kincaid walking the same path as his former self, Cotelin instilled in him a powerful hatred towards the One Sith.
Due to Kincaid's inherited combat prowess and strength in the Force, which wrought havoc in the Shadow Academy, Cotelin was forced to pull some strings with the Dark Council to elevate Kincaid to the rank of Dark Jedi Master. This strange elevation, coupled with his identity as a "secret apprentice" earned Kincaid no small amount of grief and suspicion amongst his peers. Despite the issues between himself and others, Kincaid currently serves as a member of Taldryan at his master's command, where he remains an outsider due to his antisocial personality and the unusual situation surrounding his transfer.
- "You ever stumble across a Sith Relic in an ancient cave infested with sisthpawn and deadly traps? It's a rush."
- ―Connor Grey
Connor Grey was a professional con man and Dark Jedi. Born on Dantooine, Grey was the grandson of the Jedi Master Falon Grey. However, due to a hard life and lack of proper training, Grey misused his gifts and instinctively learned to use the Force for his personal gain. Using his own, innate charm and the powers of the Force, Grey became a con man and was able to earn enough credits to get off Dantooine and explore the Galaxy. He made powerful allies and enemies during his travels, using his skills to learn about long lost secrets and to finance crazy expeditions.
During a dangerous quest to acquire an ancient Sith Relic, Grey stumbled across members of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood who, after attempting to kill him outright, discovered he had potential and inducted him into the Brotherhood. After joining, Grey kept to the fringes of the organization, but advanced through the ranks mostly because of his flair for finding artifacts and understanding Sith sorcery. Grey was considered a Rogue Jedi, as he never committed to any single House or Clan.
