A Great Jedi War (GJW) is a club-wide vendetta comprised usually of several smaller events that tie together into an overall storyline. Clans battle against clans for awards decided by the Dark Council. In Brotherhood history, there has been eight Great Jedi Wars thus far.
The First Brotherhood Civil War marked the first outbreak of hostilities between the clans and houses of the Brotherhood. Under the reign of Khyron, Chancellor Morgoth brought the clans into direct conflict in 14 ABY, for reasons that have been lost to time, although it is suspected that it was due to the Star Chamber's initial intrusion into clan affairs. Clan Satal Keto narrowly emerged the victor, and was awarded the Orthanc for their valor.
Also known as Crystal Dreams, the Second Great Jedi War erupted in 15 ABY when a valuable crystal was stolen from the Brotherhood. Thinking of it was one of their own, the clans erupted into a civil war, during which time Lord Khyron returned and replaced Stryker as Dark Lord. Eventually, it was revealed that the theft was actually orchestrated by Auroran pirates, who were quickly eliminated. The war was won by the then Independent House Ektrosis.
When Thedek departed as Grand Master in 17 ABY, loyalty to the Dark Council and Star Chamber crumbled, and the clans broke out in the Second Brotherhood Civil War. When Archibald Zoraan assumed the throne, he allowed the infighting to continue long enough to weaken the clans so that they could not challenge his power, at which point he and his Shadow Hand put an end to the fighting. Clan Taldryan emerged as the victor.
Following the breakdown of the Star Chamber under Zoraan, Grand Master Chi-Long sent the clans on a quest in search of the Skin of Fire in 17 ABY, an artifact he claimed had immense power, and hoped it would restore the Chamber's power. During The Quest, as it is sometimes called, the Imperial Remnant attempted to seize control of the Dark Brotherhood, but were disposed of when the Skin of Fire was retrieved, although Chi-Long failed to revive the Star Chamber.
When a large group of pirates and bounty hunter, thought possibly to be connected to the Auroran pirates who stole the crystal, besieged many clan systems in 18 ABY, Shadow Hand Mairin Astoris brought the clans together and formed the Alliance of Seven. Together, the seven repelled the pirates, but in turn their growing power brought the attention of the Imperial Remnant, who attempted to court martial Mairin. She fled, an act that drove a wedge between the Seven and the Remnant that would continue until the Exodus.
The first Brotherhood-wide conflict followed the Exodus, the War of the Star Chamber occurred in 21 ABY when the Sith Lord Okemi spread a plague throughout the Brotherhood that set brother against brother. The war actually goes back before the infection, however, to when the Brotherhood was solidifying its control of the Antei System. Conflicts against neighboring pirates, as well as construction on Antei, led to the awakening of Okemi, founder of the Star Chamber.
When his tomb was discovered, a Dark Jedi was sent to investigate, and thus began the spread of the infection. Sweeping through the Brotherhood, Okemi even managed to infect Jac Cotelin and Kem-Shu Maeda, who were its primary hosts. Eventually, those not infected led and attack on the infected, where Firefox destroyed Okemi's tomb, killing the infection at its source and restoring the Brotherhood back to its original state.
The Third Brotherhood Civil War occurred in 25 ABY when a clone of Grand Master Jac Cotelin, named Jaac Cotelin emerged and claimed control of the Brotherhood, already weakened due to collapsing internal relations. Clans chose sides as Red Jac battled against Blue Jac, red clans against blue clans. Eventually, the true Jac managed to slay the clone, and order was restored, although the even greatly weakened the Brotherhood, as well as created rifts between the clans that survive today. It is unknown where the clone originated, although some speculate he came from Rogue Brotherhood members.
The Eighth Great Jedi War, also referred to as the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, Fall of Antei, Battle of Antei, or simply, the Incursion, 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.
