Shan Massacre

The Shan Massacre was a purge enacted by Sith Lord Darth Bane to kill every last descendant of the ancient Jedi Knights Revan and Bastila Shan.
==History==
After the destruction of the Sith Order due to constant infighting amongst each other weakening them, Darth Bane sought to establish his own Sith philosophy that would eliminate the mistakes of previous Sith organizations. Using knowledge he gained from the ancient Sith Lord Darth Revan to accomplish this, Bane came to learn more about his descendants. Although respectful of the legacy of Darth Revan and the Sith knowledge he learned from Revan's holocron, Bane grew jealous and hateful of the Shan family, resenting how they seemed to carry great power and influence in the Force.
Seeking to prove his mastery of the Force over the Shan's, Bane set out to slaughter every last descendant of Revan and Bastila's bloodline. The knowledge he learned from Revan's holocron helped Darth Bane in becoming a very powerful Sith, proving far stronger than any of the Shan's. Over time, Bane sought out and killed every single member of the Shan family he could find, not resting until he believed he destroyed the entire bloodline, proving his absolute mastery of the Force over the legendary Jedi family once and for all. However, despite what Bane thought, one of the Shan's avoided his merciless slaughter and went into hiding. For the next few centuries the Shan family would fade from memory and knowledge, staying in hiding for fear of the Sith discovering them once more.
===Legacy===
About a thousand years after Darth Bane's massacre, the Shan family would rise to prominence once more in the form of famed Jedi Master Jarik Shan, a leading figure in the age-old conflict between the Jedi and the Sith.
