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 and Houses that broke out during the first reign of the Dark Lord Khyron.
Known as Crystal Dreams, the Second Great Jedi War was sparked when the Clans received word of a mysterious artifact and signs pointed to having been stolen by one of the Clans.
The third GJW was run under the reign of GM Zoraan by DGM Torquemada. Most of the details have been lost to history. Due to the lack of information it was previously confused with the vendetta run by GM Chi-Long, "The Quest".
The fourth GJW ("The Quest") was hosted by GM Chi-Long. Its title derives from a powerful artifact of body armor which was the basis of the quest. It was previously confused with GJW3 due to the lack of details of that GJW and "The Quest" being documented simply as a "Vendetta" at the time of its release due to the term "Great Jedi War" having fallen out of fashion. The change was corrected in September 2007 and the numbering of the later GJWs updated to reflect this.
The fifth 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 Sixth Great Jedi War was prepared by Trevarus Caerick and Jac Cotelin. It ran from June to October 2004. Its storyline revolved around an "hive mind" infecting the Brotherhood members. The source was in the end discovered to be related to the Star Chamber.
The seventh GJW ("The Enemy Within") took place 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 eighth GJW occured during the summer of 2007 and dealt with the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Antei.
