The Ninth Great Jedi War, or Unification, was a conflict that took place in 30 ABY on the planet Antei between the forces of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and an unidentified fundamentalist Jedi sect under the Jedi Master Omancor Crask. Initially the invasion was conceived to retake Antei from the Yuuzhan Vong. But the Six Great Clans, united under Grand Master Sarin and the Armed Forces of the Iron Throne, quickly learned that the Vong had been decimated by a biological weapon and Antei had been conquered and fortified by Crask and his army of droids.

However, the new threat to the Brotherhood would emerge to be greater than even that of the Yuuzhan Vong. Not only were Crask's Jedi and droids extremely well-trained and well-armed, but the old master himself was found to be far more powerful than any had imagined. So powerful, in fact, that before he was ultimately betrayed and defeated by his own lieutenant, Crask killed Sarin in a ranging duel that began above Antei on board the warship Exodus and ended on the surface of Antei amid the vessel's smoking ruin.

Though the united Dark Brotherhood achieved victory at Antei and had reclaimed its seat of power, tensions between Clans, the Dark Council, and the Grand Master continued to run high. The war of reclamation was an unpopular one and its aftermath set a challenging course for the rule of Darth Ashen.

Introduction

Two years after the Dark Jedi Brotherhood had been chased from Antei, they returned, led by Aristan Dantes, unified in their thirst for vengeance and desire to regain their lost homeworld. Upon returning to Antei, it was discovered that a plague had struck the Yuuzhan Vong. The sickness had struck the alien invaders suddenly, apparently in a matter of days, and had managed to decimate the tens of thousands of Yuuzhan Vong which had been occupying the planet.

The plan was to have the clans arrive and take over the planet, using a special army which would be provided by the Iron Throne as shock troops. The battle for Antei had been planned specifically for combating an army of Vong. However, when the clans returned, they realized that the place of the invading Vong had been usurped by the Jedi known as Omancor Crask and his droid and Jedi army.

Clan Tarentum

Tarentum, having sworn loyalty to Darth Sarin to go to Antei, was immediately deployed to the north of Adas, tasked with establishing anti-aircraft batteries and securing territory to the northeast in order set up a Central Command centre and and a landing zone in order to facilitate reinforcements. However, many of the clan leaders' priorities were set elsewhere, in the destruction of the Jedi and droid army itself. One Jedi in particular, Jorax Tuar, had a history with Tarentum's Consul, Anshar Kahn Tarentae. The two dueled twice during the Battle of Antei, the second duel leading to Anshar's "death" and Tuar's murder by the hand of Proconsul Maxamillian von Oberst.

Clan forces were later sent to the Du'sann Boundary in order to wipe up any remaining enemy resistance, with some members nearly succumbing to the light side. As the Jedi were attempting to convert members of the Brotherhood, Tarenti had to be vigilant in their fighting and consistently worked in groups. One of these groups, which included Consul emeritus Sith Bloodfyre, decided to scout out any corpses - whether of Vong or of Jedi - that could used for the clan's necromantic purposes.

Tarentum's ultimate task was to secure Codei Prison, and a team was sent in to eliminate any guards who could possibly be protecting the prison. It was there that Tarenti encountered Sun Vail, the lost sister of the notorious Dark Jedi Bane. Sun Vail, able to survive the horrors of the prison and the Vong invasion, was now hideously deformed and out of her mind, having made a "deal" with the Jedi to stay out of their way and they would give her Antei once they were done with it. In the end, however, she decided to betray both Jedi and Dark Jedi, conspiring to use a deadly pathogen similar to the Candorian Plague, to wipe out anyone still on Antei by letting the pathogen move through the steam of Mt. Ashfire.

Due to her insanity and her lack of scientific knowledge, Sun Vail forgot one of the most essential parts of creating a pathogen, and therefore her revenge was a failure. Not wishing to succumb to more punishment and torture under the hands of the Brotherhood, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the lava of Mt. Ashfire. The prison, mostly intact, was secured, but throughout the war, Tarentum had suffered multiple casualties and returned to their home system significantly smaller in size. The death of Sarin, ultimately, would tangle up the clan with a strong distrust toward its clan summit.
