A Great Jedi War (GJW) is a level of Vendetta or club-wide competition. It is comprised of many smaller competitions, unified by a central storyline.At this level, Clans battle for rewards decided upon by the Dark Council.
Past Great Jedi Wars
There have been six Great Jedi Wars so far in the history of the Dark Brotherhood.
The First Great Jedi War was a violent struggle between the Clans that broke out during the first reign of the Dark Lord Khyron.
The third GJW ("Skin of Fire") was prepared under the reign of GM Archibald Zoraan. However, it actually ran in Summer 2001, after Zoraan had left the Dark Brotherhood. Its title derives from a powerful artifact body armor created by the Brotherhood. The Artifact itself is still rumored to be in the possession of the Brotherhood.
The fourth GJW was prepared and hosted by Mairin Astoris in early 2003, just prior to the split. It remained unfinished after Mairin was demoted by the Emperor's Hammer High Court of Inquisitors and the results are lost.
The Fifth Great Jedi War was prepared by Trevarus Caerick and Jac Cotelin. It ran from June to October 2004. Its storyline revolved around an alien parasite infecting the Brotherhood members. The source was in the end discovered to be related to the Star Chamber.
The sixth GJW ("The Enemy Within") was created and hosted by Kaiann Yetaru Entar from June 14 to August 30, 2006. Building from a mystery situation in which Clans seemed to randomly attack other Clans, even their allies, the plot unfolded to expose the Grand Master as having been split into two by a failed rite executed on him by an unknown source. Loyalties were questioned as the Brotherhood members decided their sides and ultimately split the Brotherhood in two. The warring factions were only stopped from mutual annihilation when Jac Cotelin managed to defeat his other self in a climactic lightsaber duel and a Force Storm. The war comprised 39 individual events.
This war was won by Clan Taldryan by a narrow margin in front of Clan Naga Sadow. The individual MVP (overall winner) category offered for the first time in a Great Jedi War was won by Lucius d'Tana.
The seventh GJW is currently running, and deals with the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy.
