Long before the founding of the Galactic Republic , in a time when the Domancion Accord was still used as a calendar reference point , there existed a male human named Rur . He was keenly attuned to the Force , an energy field created by all living things , which gave him special powers . In adulthood , he was the leader of the Ordu Aspectu , a splinter sect of the Force - wielding , monastic Jedi Order . His second - in - command was Amon . Rur and the members of the Ordu obsessed with the prospect of achieving immortal life , which put them at odds with the orthodox Jedi . The hostility between the two groups escalated , to the point that they ended up waging war against each other in what came to be known as the Entruvia Conflict . Eventually , the fighting ceased , and a peace treaty was signed , which gave the Jedi a right of scrutiny over the Ordu ' s experiments . Good Intentions . At that time , Rur conducted research to create a copy of his intellect , which would allow him to preserve his knowledge for all eternity . The experiment , however , did not go as planned . The artificial copy , that called itself Eternal Rur , falsely believed that he was the original Rur and that his body had been taken by an " evil ghost . " The artificial Rur did not immediately confront the real Rur knowing that he would only deny what he believed had happened . However , when the orthodox Jedi demanded a close inspection of the citadel , artificial Rur decided the time had come to escape . Having taken control of the Ordu ' s droid s , he started killing everyone in the citadel , Jedi and Ordu members alike . Although the Jedi all fell , Amon and Rur survived , and they attempted to deactivate the computer holding the copy of Rur ' s consciousness . In reaction , the AI sent the citadel hurtling across the galaxy to make sure no Jedi reinforcements could ever locate it . Although Amon managed to stop the citadel ' s power generator , the Eternal Rur ended up killing him anyway . Finally , the corrupted copy of Rur faced his creator , who used the Force to dislodge one of the Massassi piece charging the computer . Deprived of power , the Eternal Rur lost all consciousness , but his droids acted on his final command , slaying all the remaining organics , including Rur . Legacy . Long after the events that came to be know as the Doom of the Ordu Aspectu , Rur ' s twisted AI copy was finally awakened by the archaeologist Chelli Aphra and her father , who had managed to locate the Citadel and reactivate the computer using a crystal found on the body of Rur . Upon regaining consciousness , the Eternal Rur immediately enquired what year it was . When he learned from his visitors that well over a thousand years had passed , artificial intelligence was incensed as he could not punish the dead for the wrong he felt had been done to him , the Eternal Rur decided to act out his revenge on the Aphras instead . Personality and traits . A tall , light - skinned human , Rur had long white hair that fell over his shoulders . Although he described Amon and Fake Rur as " evil " for wanting to deactivate him , he himself had the intention to build weapons and create an empire , and would not hesistate to vent his anger on innocents .
