The Fifteenth Great Jedi War, also known as GJW XV: Ascension, was a 6 week Brotherhood event that ran from May 28, 2020 to July 6, 2020
Story
After months of research, the CLANS of the BROTHERHOOD begin to see the results of their study.
Soul-fueled crystals, from ages long gone, hold incredible power to CREATE and to DESTROY. With each still CORRUPTED by connection to their creator, their usage is dangerous.
Little do they know the ANCIENT RITES have melded with MODERN SCIENCE bringing lethal efficiency to the creation process.
ASCENSION comes as the secretive CHILDREN OF MORTIS begin their offensive. Striking from deep space, these fanatics will do anything to accomplish their goals...

The opening shots to what would become the Fifteenth Great Jedi War took place during the Rite of Supremacy: Escalation, where the Children of Mortis manipulated events to recruit Rath Oligard into their number. With a new faction present and at work against them, and detecting efforts to observe the Brotherhood worlds, the Grand Master pushed to investigate and then infiltrate the Children to judge them.
The infiltration effort proved to be a partial success, but extraction was required to gather the findings from these efforts. Dubbed Operation SPYFALL, the Brotherhood was able to retrieve vital information from a point on Pendroh-I, giving them critical information on the scope and nature of the organization. With the newly developed ascension gas granting them a major edge, the Children's leaders made preparations for open war against the Brotherhood and its allies.
With growing concern surrounding the threat that the Children of Mortis pose, Darth Nehalem continues to insist that Arx be ready to be defended at all costs, and that the Clans fully support the Iron Forces. With their spies having gone completely silent, the Dark Council knows that an assault is on its way, and Arx is still rebuilding after the Collective's attack. Alarms sound, triggering alerts throughout the Dark Ascent, but they quickly realise that the Children's target is not the Brotherhood's beating heart. Instead, they are bent on damaging the Brotherhood by launching a massive simultaneous assault on each Clan's homeworld. With the Iron Forces held back as they try to gain an edge against the attackers and the Severian Principate lacking a substantial military thanks to its reforms, the Clans are left to fend for themselves.
Meanwhile, in the Muisyle System, deep in the heart of the Children's territories, Avitus Oligard is left to reflect upon his choices in joining them and of the impending rituals. The Father takes control of the Harbinger for a brief moment to praise his efforts, Saira O’Setera begins screaming as labour pains take hold...
The Children continue to press their assaults, throwing growing waves of bodies against the meat grinder of the Clans' defences. Utilising mutated war beasts and their own legions as a means to swamp the less numerous Brotherhood members, their sorcery is giving a noted edge in the conflict. Even so, it is not progressing as the Children would hope. On several worlds that were given the opportunity to research and analyse the crystals, the Children suffer extremely high losses. Yet even so, they have found that those without a strong link to the Force can be revived as undead cadavers and sent off to fight their former allies. Even amid this new turn of events, the Children of Mortis press forward with the next stage of their attack, and asteroids slam into each of the Clan homeworlds; “World Seeds” to drain all life from the planets they strike. In the Arx system, the Council works quickly to consolidate the different research branches made by each of the Clans, hoping to find a way to break the crystalline technology that gives their Children such a strong advantage.
In the Muisyle System, Saira O’Setera's pregnancy continues, with something within visibly pressing out against her skin. Father releases his control of Harbinger’s body, preparing himself for the impending birth.
Having been given the time needed to find a way to "purify" each of the crystals, the elements of the Brotherhood led by Rahjin race to break the deadlock in the fighting. As the battles continue, the Brotherhood releases a weapon that breaks down and destroys the crystals' effects while also breaking the Children's hold on it. The assault, already stalling, rapidly turns into a rout as the Brotherhood forces quickly drive the Children into a full retreat. In spite of heavy casualties in both sides, the effort to break the Brotherhood in a single battle has been ended. The Children are able to escape through the use of mysterious portals, preventing the total loss of their armies committed to the fights.
In the aftermath, research into the crystals continue, as the Brotherhood seeks to turn the new technology to their advantage. At the same time, Darth Nehalem begins his experiments with the same portals that the Children have used. In a moment of surprise, he not only finds an ethereal plane linking to a small one he forms, but hears the voice of former Grand Master Telaris "Mav" Cantor in that moment.
In the Muisyle System, the Father is revealed in full, as a crystalline skeleton wearing a crown. As the leaders of the Children plead their cases before him, asking for him to initiate the unbinding of the Force due to this loss, Avitus and Saira return, along with a small child now old enough to walk. More concerned with this than the words of his subordinates, the Father deems the child an appropriate vessel for his uses.
Unseen by all, watching the aftermath of the battle from the Cor’neria System, Rath Oligard observes the events and considers the Collective's next move.
Locale
The assault took place on each of the Clan's homeworlds, and was focused upon the planets of Kiast, Selen, Sepros, Kasiya, Aliso, Ragnath, and Zsoldos.
