| The '''Fifth Great Jedi War''' or the '''War of the Star Chamber''' occured after the [[Dark Brotherhood]] unearthed the entrance to the original [[Star Chamber]]. The [[Sith Lord]] [[Okemi]] was reawakened after millenia of slumber and used his powers to take control of the [[Oracle]] [[Trevarus Caerick|Trevarus Sadow]], the [[Justicar]] [[Keirdagh Cantor]] and the [[Deputy Grand Master]] [[Jac Cotelin]].

| Okemi had been driven insane by a spirit out of time, called the Nameless ones, or simply the [[Consciousness]]. Okemi spread this corruption in an attempt to consume the brotherhood in civil war and finally claim vengeance against the [[Dark Lord of the Sith|Dark Lords of the Sith]]. After getting word of the conflict, Firefox returned and slew the ancient [[Lord of the Star Chamber]], ending his influence forever.

It saw the [[Dark Brotherhood]] besieged by a consortium of pirates, brigands and bounty hunters. Under the direction of then [[Shadow Hand]] Mairin Astoris the [[Clan]]s were forced to set aside their differences and unite under the banner of the Alliance of Seven. |

| The War of the Star Chamber opened with a subtle declaration of war. Construction of the Dark Hall began almost immediately after the arrival of the Brotherhood following the Exodus. Before the project was even remotely finished, the Oracle, Trevarus Sadow began meditating in the Observatory of the unfinished edifice. He made contact with a series of voices that proclaimed a desire for fire, destruction, and blood. Transcribed by his Praetor, Vassan Roki, these communications became the [[Tenebric Conclusions]]. Trevarus delivered them to Lord Firefox and his Deputy, Lord Cotelin--both men ignored the portents.
| | In his absence, while [[Firefox]] secretly oversaw the construction of a new [[Dark Hall]] on [[Antei]], several of the Clans' systems were besieged by a powerful alliance of pirates, brigands and bounty hunters. It was unclear where the pirate alliance had come from or if they were the same group of Cordona pirates who had been routed by [[Justinian Khyron]] years before. |

| As part of a campaign to wrest control of the space lanes around the Antei System, the Sith High Warrior, Xanos Zorrixor drew battle plans with Obelisk High Commander Shaithis to put down the piracy of the [[Antarans]]. Their strategy was flawless, and the alien species was crushed. Unbeknownst to the Council at the time, the war throughout the [[Shroud]] had awakened [[Okemi]], an ancient Sith Lord who had been exiled from the [[Sith Empire]] millennia before. Indeed it was Okemi who had first formed the Star Chamber and founded the Sith civilisation on Antei, becoming the first Lord of the Star Chamber. Though still unknown, Okemi had been infected by the Conciousness, and that insanity had caused the destruction of the Star Chamber four millienia prior. Lord Firefox's arrival on his Throneworld brought fire into the singular presence of Okemi, and caused him to bring that corruption into the Brotherhood.
| | For the first time since [[Archibald Zoraan]] had schemed his way to the [[Iron Throne]] the Clans issued a truce with one another. Under the direction of the Shadow Hand, Mairin Astoris, the Clans united to form the Alliance of Seven. Too much was at stake with the Dark Brotherhood already planning its eventual migration to the Antei system to allow it to be consumed in a petty feud with the scum of the galaxy. |

| Workers blasting power-line relays in the area around the Dark Hall uncovered a massive shaft, deep under the valley. Oracle Sadow immediately ordered all construction halted, and dispatched one of his junior Apprentices to investigate. He returned, attempting to kill the Oracle and his Praetor, Trevarus and Vassan survived the attack, but Trevarus was trapped in the Dark Side. During his interrogation, Korlyn infected Deputy Grand Master Cotelin, and [[Justicar]] [[Keridagh Cantor]].
| | Before the combined might of the Clans the pirate alliance was eventually routed. |
|
| |
|
| The next six months saw the Nameless' influence spread throughout the Brotherhood. Like a parasite it exerted its Force-control over anybody its mind came into blood-contact with, dominating them like puppets to further spread its influence. Jac Cotelin and the [[Dark Jedi Master]] [[Kem-Shu Maeda]] served as his primary hosts corrupting whole swathes of the brotherhood.
| | In the aftermath of the conflict Alliance of Seven was seen as too powerful and a threat to the Imperial Remnant's grip over the Dark Brotherhood. The Remnant attempted to court martial Mairin Astoris for her involvement in helping forge the alliance, hoping to shatter it in the process. Before she could be executed the Shadow Hand fled into exile. The Imperial leadership's plan backfired and rather than break the Alliance of Seven their actions drove a wedge between the Clans and the Imperial Remnant which would later have serious repercussions during the [[Exodus]]. |

|
| Eventually the [[Sith High Warrior]], [[Xanos]], managed to get off Antei, having been stuck there since Jac Cotelin ordered the system's closure brought word to Firefox. Upon his return to Brotherhood space the Dark Lord assembled a force from the remaining loyalists, those who had not yet lost their minds to Okemi's control and launched an assault on Antei. Firefox squared off with Jac Cotelin, eventually chasing him off. As the Grand Master battled outside the ruins of the ancient Star Chamber the high warrior took up arms against Kem-Shu Maeda. However, the high warrior was bested and the rogue Dark Jedi Master escaped.

| Finally, Lord Firefox found Okemi's hidden tomb, and destroyed the vector of the Consciousness by slaying Okemi with Ferran's sword, the ancient Sword of Son'Jiatt. When its primary, and supremely powerful host met final death, the Consciousness slept again. To cement his authority as Lord of the Star Chamber, the elaborate Rite of Ascendancy was performed by the Star Chamber. This brought the Dark Lord of the Sith completely into his rightful Lordship of the Star Chamber, Grand Mastery of the Brotherhood, and Dark Lord of the Sith. No traces remain of the Consciousness, except in one being... the psychotic [[Shan Long]]

| *The original idea for a "force infection" came from [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor]]. He and [[Jac Cotelin]] were originally planning to use the idea in a Taldryan-run Vendetta (or Talydetta) during Chi-Long's reign. Jac later proposed the idea to a welcoming [[Trevarus Caerick]]
| |
| *Jac really pissed off Trevarus by making him write into the GJW fiction a ceremony depicting the promotion of Trev's arch-nemesis, Kaiann, to Dark Jedi Master.

The Fifth Great Jedi War (also known as the Forging of the Alliance of Seven) is a conflict that took place during 12 ABY. It saw the Dark Brotherhood besieged by a consortium of pirates, brigands and bounty hunters. Under the direction of then Shadow Hand Mairin Astoris the Clans were forced to set aside their differences and unite under the banner of the Alliance of Seven.
History
In his absence, while Firefox secretly oversaw the construction of a new Dark Hall on Antei, several of the Clans' systems were besieged by a powerful alliance of pirates, brigands and bounty hunters. It was unclear where the pirate alliance had come from or if they were the same group of Cordona pirates who had been routed by Justinian Khyron years before.
For the first time since Archibald Zoraan had schemed his way to the Iron Throne the Clans issued a truce with one another. Under the direction of the Shadow Hand, Mairin Astoris, the Clans united to form the Alliance of Seven. Too much was at stake with the Dark Brotherhood already planning its eventual migration to the Antei system to allow it to be consumed in a petty feud with the scum of the galaxy.
Before the combined might of the Clans the pirate alliance was eventually routed.
In the aftermath of the conflict Alliance of Seven was seen as too powerful and a threat to the Imperial Remnant's grip over the Dark Brotherhood. The Remnant attempted to court martial Mairin Astoris for her involvement in helping forge the alliance, hoping to shatter it in the process. Before she could be executed the Shadow Hand fled into exile. The Imperial leadership's plan backfired and rather than break the Alliance of Seven their actions drove a wedge between the Clans and the Imperial Remnant which would later have serious repercussions during the Exodus.
