Seventh Alsakan Conflict The Seventh Alsakan Conflict , also known as the Renunciation or the Pius Dea Civil War , was one of several conflicts between the planets Alsakan and Coruscant , and their respective allies . The seventh was a war between the Galactic Republic — under the control of the Pius Dea religious group — and their enemies , including the Jedi Order , Alsakan , and many alien species that had been persecuted by the Pius Dea cult . The conflict resulted in an Alsakani – Jedi victory , with the removal of the Pius Dea from power and replacement of the Pius Dea leader Contispex XIX with Jedi Grand Master Biel Ductavis as Supreme Chancellor . Prelude . The Pius Dea was a religious cult that had controlled the Galactic Republic ever since the Human Contispex I was elected Supreme Chancellor in 11 , 987 BBY . His descendants formed the Contispex dynasty , cementing their control of the Republic for over a thousand years . During their reign — a time later known as the Pius Dea Era — the Pius Dea launched a series of thirty - four crusades against alien species and suspected alien sympathizers . The cult ' s humanocentric views and their aggressive actions against non - Humans angered many alien species , driving groups such as the Duros , Herglics , Hutts , and the Caamasi to oppose their rule . The Jedi Order had long split with the Pius Dea – controlled Republic , having recused themselves to their academy world of Ossus in 11 , 933 BBY . The conflict . Around 10 , 967 BBY , the peaceful Caamasi finally convinced the Jedi to end their Recusal and act against the Pius Dea . The Caamasi also convinced the inhabitants of the planet Alsakan and their allies to join the fight , and began making alliances with alien species that had been persecuted by the Pius Dea . Over the next few months , the two groups secretly instigated a religious revolution amongst the Pius Dea . Unknowingly influenced by the Jedi , many believers joined the movement and renounced the traditional Pius Dea faith in favor of one more favorable to alien species . Those Pius Dea who followed that new faith secretly called themselves the Renunciates , gathering new members throughout the Republic . The schism sparked a brutal civil war between the Renunciates and those who remained loyal to their faith — known as the Faithful . Renunciates and Faithful battled across the Republic , ravaging Ordnance / Regional Depot s , generation ship s , government offices , and a myriad of other locations . Alsakani forces attacked Pius Dea fortresses at Fondor , Cyrillia , Ixtlar , Ord Mirit , and Ord Carida , supported by the Jedi Order and the combined forces of their allies — primarily the Duros , Herglics , and the Hutts . The Republic ' s Rocket - Jumper Elite Advance Unit also saw action against Pius Dea forces in Ord Carida . The conflict soon exploded into all - out war , as the Pius Dea – led Republic began attacking the Renunciates and the Jedi - led alliance . However , much of the Republic Navy decided to defect from the Republic , joining the Jedi and Alsakani against the religious fanatics . While the Pius Dea were greatly weakened by the defection , they still had an entire fleet of cathedral ship s to rely upon , and continued to wage war against those they saw as impure . It was not until a year later that the Bureau of Ships and Services ( BoSS ) decided to make their move . Coordinating with the Renunciates and the alliance , the BoSS secretly seeded Pius Dea ' s fleet of cathedral ships with rogue navicomputer codes . The Order and its allies gathered their forces at the planet Uquine , baiting the Faithful into attacking the Renunciate fleet there . Just before the Pius Dea ' s fleet jumped to hyperspace , the BoSS sent a signal to every ship in the fleet that activated the implanted code . More than half of the fleet disappeared and was lost in hyperspace . Many of those missing cathedral ships found themselves stranded in deep space , with their navicomputers wiped clean and their hyperdrives and communications systems rendered useless . Those aboard would be unable to return , and would eventually die from lack of supplies . The remaining ships arrived at Uquine to find themselves under attack by the combined forces of the Renunciates and the Jedi - led alliance . A strike team of Jedi Knights boarded the Pius Dea flagship " Flame of Sinthara " and captured Supreme Chancellor Contispex XIX , ending the Pius Dea ' s rule of the Republic . Contispex was taken to the planet Caamas , where he was found guilty of crimes against the galaxy and imprisoned for the rest of his life . Without their leader , the Pius Dea faith crumbled after their defeat at Uquine . Every single member of the faith was removed from office , and Jedi Grand Master Biel Ductavis succeeded Contispex XIX as Supreme Chancellor . Aftermath . The Seventh Alsakan Conflict ended a millennium of widespread fear and state - sponsored persecution , ushering in the Ductavis Era of rebuilding and restoration . The Pius Dea faith died out not long after the end of the conflict , as the galaxy turned on them in revenge for the millennia of persecution that they had caused . The faith ' s humanocentric views , however , would remain just below the surface of society — by the fall of the Republic , the idea of Human High Culture was once more widely accepted in the Core Worlds . The Sith Lord Darth Sidious used the humanocentric attitude of the primarily - Human Core to help cement his control over the new Galactic Empire millennia later in 19 BBY . Despite the fact that Alsakan had aided the Jedi in removing the Pius Dea from power , this would not prevent the planet from rebelling against Coruscant and the Republic later on . Alsakan and its allies would continue attempting to usurp Coruscant as the Republic capital in a further ten conflicts , with the final conflict ending almost eight thousand years later . Biel Ductavis was one of the earliest Jedi to assume the post of Supreme Chancellor , and he began a trend of Jedi assuming power in times of turmoil . During the second half of the New Sith Wars , each leader of the Jedi Order also served as Supreme Chancellor — a practice that ended with the election of Supreme Chancellor Tarsus Valorum and the Ruusan Reformation . Behind the scenes . The Seventh Alsakan Conflict was first indirectly mentioned in the - exclusive history article " Tinker , Tailor , Soldier , Praji " , as the " famous encounter " that ended the Pius Dea Era . It was later expanded upon in the 2012 " The Essential Guide to Warfare " , along with the rest of the Pius Dea era and the Pius Dea crusades .
