Force War

The **Force War** was a series of conflicts between the Sith Dynasty and the Republic, with the Jedi Order getting involved later in the war.

After remaining hidden for more than 400 years, the Sith returned to the galaxy to conquer the recently formed Republic in the year 3204 BBY. When the Jedi Order pledged their allegiance to the Republic in 3,120 BBY, they assisted them in driving the Sith back to Korriban, ending the war in 3110 BBY

The war was initially a cold war, taking place between smaller factions that were puppet states controlled by the Sith and the Republic. Eventually open war broke out between the factions in 3138 BBY with the Sith gaining large territory from the Republic. However, their constant infighting and backstabbing proved to be a massive hinderance to the war effort. When the Jedi intervened, the Sith were led to a planet in Wild Space, known as Voltrus Prime. The Voltran Empire allied itself with the Jedi and the Republic, killing many thousands of Sith in a battle that would become known as the Great Slaughter.

Although the Sith were eventually driven back to Korriban by the war's end, the Republic wanted to ensure that the Sith never returned to the galaxy, and so set up a blockade around the Sith homeworld for almost 100 years.

**Djedah** was a planet in the Outer Rim that was the homeplanet of the Djedah Empire.

Originally a barren wilderness, a group of force-sensitive pioneers from Coruscant travelled to the planet and founded the Djedah Empire.

The Empire stood for many thousands of years, but was forced to relocate to the planet Tython after the Holy Scholar Evvret Darth began the Djedah Civil War and led a rebellion against the Emperor.

Sith Lord

A **Sith Lord**,or **Lord of the Sith**, was the title of a Sith held by a notable member of the order. The archaic title of Sith Lord spans across the entire existence of the Sith, ranging from the Sith Dynasty to the Sith Empire.

The title of Sith Lord was decided by Evvret Darth, the founder of the Sith and the very first Sith Lord. It would be the title held by every leading Sith in the Dynasty until the foundation of the "Darth" title many millennia later.

During the days of the Sith Empire, a Sith Lord would be an apprentice to a Dark Lord.
Violator-Class Battlecruiser

The **Violator-Class Battlecruiser**, often simply known as **Violators**, were a class of battlecruisers utilised by the Sith Empire.

After the defeat of the Sith Dynasty and the rise of it's successor state, the original fleet in the Sith's army was destroyed. The Sith Emperor, Anaxun, ordered the creation of a new navy for the Sith to be built. However, Korriban was soon placed under siege by the Republic.

Built in secret in the Unknown Regions for almost a century, the Violator-Class Battlecruiser saw it's first use at the end of the Siege of Korriban, emerging from hyperspace during the middle of a surface bombardment committed by the Republic. After the siege, the battlecruisers were notably used during the Great Annexing, where they blockaded many Republic worlds including Eron, Alamis, Kotafan and Coruscant.

A common sight during the Age of Sith Dominion, Violator-Class Battlecruisers were noted for their relatively low armament in comparison to their Republic counterparts, the Embracer-Class Star Destroyers and the Dauntless-Class Frigates. The Imperial ships made up for this in their numbers, which outnumbered the Republic fleet 2-1, and their speed, which was three times as fast and manoeuvrable as the Republic vessels.

Born on Djedah in 4,039 BBY, he was mentored by the Holy Scholar named Ziph from a young age. He grew up to become a member of the Holy Scholars and was elected leader of the organisations when Ziph retired.

Darth pioneered new ways to use the force and greatly expanded the Empire's knowledge. However, when he went before the Djedah Emperor with new ideas of using the force, his words were seen as heresy. Ziph was executed and Darth was imprisoned.

Three years later, his two children, Embak and Hyst, broke their father our of prison and he rallied the armies of the Empire to rebel against their leaders, beginning the Djedah Civil War. The war ended after five years of bloodshed and Darth was exiled from his homeworld along with his children.

They discovered the planet Korriban and the Sith people. Darth and his children enslaved the Sith people and were hailed as gods. They founded the Sith Dynasty and built their armies in preparation for their vengeance against the Djedah.

In 3,940 BBY, Darth, who was this point unnaturally old, having extended his life through dark side rituals, led his followers into war against the Djedah. He ultimately gave his life during the Tython Bloodbath, ending the war.

One of the most influential people in galactic history, Darth was hailed as a hero of the Sith and worshipped as such for many years. His legacy would go on to inspire the future of the Sith. The armies of darkness would not have a figure like him until the rise of Anaxun during the Siege of Korriban.

## **Before the Movie**

Tía Rosita is the sister of Papá Julio and sister-in-law of Coco Rivera, and one of the deceased aunts of Miguel Rivera. She joined her brother and sister-in-law in the Rivera family workshop, possibly taking her sister-in-law's last name. She became a shoe maker and gave up music to be with her family, as it was very important. At an unknown point, Rosita passed a way and joined her brother's mother-in-law in shoe-making in the afterlife.

## Personality

Rosita is a very excitable and motherly person who loves her family very much. It is excessively shown when she rushes up to Miguel and smothers him with a heart-felt hug. She is a bit unlike her niece, Victoria, who is more revered but they are both caring aunts who love their family. She is sometimes scared of Mamá Imelda, as she knew not to go against Imelda when she already was firm on her decision of her blessing to Miguel. She is still doting nonetheless, as unlike her other family members who panicked, Rosita's firs tinstinct was to go and hug her nephew when Miguel was cursed.

Like the rest of the Riveras, Rosita immensely dislikes Ernesto for murdering Hector and ruining their family bond. She probably liked music before joining the Riveras in the workshop and proved to be quite skilled in the practice. She loves both her family, living and deceased, especially giving Miguel a big, smothering hug and hugging him when he was rescued by Pepita.

Republic of the Core

The **Republic of the Core**, often named just the **Republic** and later called the **First Old Republic** was a democratic government that ruled over the Core Worlds and a few other territories during the First Age of the Old Republic

Founded in 12,000 BBY by an ambitious group of medieval rulers on the Human homeworld of Coruscant, the Republic quickly became popular through its unique use of democracy and the will of the people as opposed to a simple autocratic government.

The Republic was allied with the Jedi Order during the Force War when the Sith Dynasty threatened the galaxy with domination. The cold war lasted for almost 5000 years and accumulated at the Great Slaughter on Voltrus Prime where the bulk of the Sith army was defeated. The Republic subsequently laid siege to the Sith homeworld of Korriban which lasted for over 70 years and claimed the lives of millions of Imperial citizens.

The senate attempted to keep this operation secret but was eventually exposed by Imperial agents posing as journalists. The outrage at the genocide committed by the Republic led to Chancellor Nil'ron resigning and many Republic generals being imprisoned for their crimes. Taking advantage of this moment of weakness, the Sith rebuilt their armies and, six years after the genocide, began the Great Annexing, a military coup that severed the Republic from it's core worlds. The froze hyperspace lanes and forced the rest of the Republic to submit to the Sith, leading to the collapse of the Republic and the beginning of the only time in history where the Sith would rule the civilised galaxy.
Wild Space

**Wild Space** was a term given to locations within the Outer Rim Territories where there was no ruling governments and the planets were often very primitive and tribal. These locations became less 'wild' as the galaxy developed, however they often tended to remain uninvolved in galactic politics.

The northern region of Wild Space contained planets colonised by the Republic and included Eron, Kotafan and Alamis. These planets were attacked by the Sith Empire during the Great Annexing as a distraction from the main attack against the Core Worlds.

Their life Force was taken from their body and the void their soul left would be filled by the Dark Side itself. The result was a mindless creature that would thirst for flesh and blood.

They were used by Sith Beastmasters as guard-creatures of the Sith Academy on Korriban where they would attack and kill anyone who wandered the halls of the academy at night. One such incident occurred in 6033 BBY when an acolyte named Sharmall was manipulated by Doran and was killed by a pack of Wanderers.

The **Invasion of Kotafan**, labelled as the **Liberation of Kotafan** by Imperial propagandists, was one of the first battles of the Great Annexing.

In 3030 BBY, the Empire rebuilt their strength and began the Great Annexing, a militaristic coup that resulted in the defeat of the Republic and the Sith gaining control of the civilised galaxy. They chased the surviving Republicans out of the Core Worlds and began the First Jedi Purge.

**Voltrans** were an insectoid species from the planet Voltrus Prime.

Hailing from their homeworld in Wild Space, the Voltrans were naturally enamoured with the Light Side of the Force, so much so that their affinity with the light granted them unique healing abilities utilised by all members of the species. Although not traditionally "Force-sensitive" every Voltran had a unique connection to the Light Side.

Due to their affinity with the Light Side, the Voltran Empire allied with the Republic and the Jedi Order during the Force War. The final defeat of the Sith, the Great Slaughter took place on their homeworld.

Almost 100 years later, Voltrus Prime came under attack by the resurgent Sith Empire for their contribution in their defeat a century prior. Their homeworld was occupied by the Sith during the Great Annexing.

Darth Zhen, a Dark Lord of the Sith, was an expert on Voltran culture and biology. He used his knowledge of the species to his advantage when he tortured a member of the species during the Invasion of Coruscant.

The **Age of the Ancients** was an Era is galactic history that spans from the foundation of the Djedah Empire in 5,800 BBY to the foundation of the Republic in 3,470 BBY. Many notable events took place in this Era, including the Djedah Civil War (3,997 BBY), the War of Revelations (3,940 BBY) and the First Sith Civil War (3,935 BBY).
Dark Lord

A **Dark Lord of the Sith**, often titled a "**Darth**", was a title held by a prestigious lord of the Sith in the Sith Empire.

While the most notable Dark Lords sat on the Dark Council or the Neophyte Council There were many Darths that operated outside of the official councils, most notably Darth Lamin who operated as the Sith's blademaster during the First Age of the Old Republic.

A Dark Lord was highly feared among both outsiders to the Empire and the Imperial citizens, however there were exceptions to this, most notably Darth Zhen who was highly popular among the people of the Empire for his devotion to the Empire as opposed to selfish goals.

A Dark Lord often wielded unique lightsaber designs to make them stand out from the crowd or intimidate their foes. Darth Nova wielded a crossguard lightsaber, Darth Zhen wielded a V-shaped crossguard lightsaber and Darth Lamin wielded a quadruple-bladed lightsaber.

The title of Darth did not exist during the time of the Sith Dynasty, but was established after it's collapse as a tribute to the founder of the Sith way, Evvret Darth, who's surname is eponymous with the title.

## **Behind the Scenes**

In August 2018, author Jacob Burbidge began to draw plans to make a Star Wars fan film set in the Old Republic Era. Whilst attending university and taking lessons on writing from author William Sutton, Burbidge decided to write out the story instead.

In December 2018, visual artist Isatonic had joined the project as illustrator.

In January of 2019, Burbidge decided to change the format of the novel from a published book to an e-book written on the Alternate Star Wars Wiki site. This was due to the copyright complications of writing a published novel under the name of Star Wars. The increasing difficulty of getting permission for the book's release eventually led to Burbidge's decision to publish it on the Fandom website rather than with an official publisher.

In May of 2019, the novel was finished and entered post production stage. Illustrator Isatonic began working on the front cover for the novel.

The novel was released on May 20th, 2019.
The Kannis Legacy

**The Kannis Legacy** is an upcoming series of novels written by Jacob Burbidge for the Alternate Star Wars. The five-issue series follows the life of Vycerant, a Sith acolyte who lived during the Old Republic Era. Part one of the series, titled Bright Shadow, is set to be released in 2019. Other upcoming issues of the series include Seeds of Retribution, Heritage of Lords, Vestige of Malevolence and Infinite Darkness.

Bright Shadow will be illustrated by Isatonic.
Djedah Empire

> "*The Djedah at least had the guts to be an Empire that expanded across their entire homeworld. For that I respect them*"
> ― Darth Zhen

The **Djedah Empire**, sometimes called the **Old Jedi Empire**, was an ancient authoritarian government that existed on the planet Djedah. It was the ruling government of the Djedah, an order of Force-sensitives that was the precursor of the Jedi Order.

Formed in 5,800 BBY, the Djedah Empire stood peacefully for tens of thousands of years until in 3,997 BBY, a Holy Scholar named Evvret Darth was imprisoned by the Empire for questioning the Emperor's will. After three years imprisoned, he was broken out of prison and began the Djedah Civil War. After the Empire defeated Darth's rogue followers, he and his children, Hyst and Embak, were exiled.

The Empire was forced to relocate from Djedah to the planet Tython after Darth returned with the newly formed Sith Dynasty searching for revenge. The War of Revelations led to the Empire and the Dynasty being heavily crippled after the Tython Bloodbath. The Djedah decided that they had to reform their ways in order to protect themselves against the Sith and so they transformed into the Jedi and the Jedi Order. They culled their civilian population and relocated to the planet Gameth, leaving Tython in burning ruins.

Netherworld of the Force

According to the religion of the Kages, The **Netherworld of the Force** was an ethereal realm of the Force that Force-Sensitives went when they died. There were two sects of the Netherworld, Kaos and Serenity. Dark side users, such as Sith went to Kaos when they died where they were tormented in purgatory for using the dark side. Light Side users like the Jedi went to Serenity when they died, a place of eternal peace and happiness. It was ruled by a Bright Overlord, a manifestation of the Light Side itself. Those who went to Serenity were able to come back to the physical realm and interact with the living.

Some Jedi who used the dark side to hunt Sith and other dark side users were sent to Kaos where they became known as The Countless, an army of spirits that tormented the spirits of the dead that were sent to Kaos. They were commanded by a Dark Underlord, the ruler of the realm.

Those who found balance in the Force, such as the Djedah, were able to freely travel between the two worlds, as well as the physical realm. Those who were not force-sensitive were absorbed into the living Force and their spirit's wondered the galaxy.

The Jedi would adopt the idea of a Netherworld into their own religion several thousand years after the Kage's establishment of the idea.
Darth Zhen

> "*A slave becomes an acolyte when he learns to direct his hatred onto those above him. An acolyte becomes a Sith when he learns to direct his hatred on those below him. A Sith becomes a phantom when there is no one else left to hate*"

>

**Darth Zhen** was a human Dark Lord of the Sith who served the Sith Empire as the vice leader of the Neophyte Council.

Born in 3076 BBY to an abusive mother, Zhen was apprenticed by the pureblood blacksmith Toras who mentored the boy. In 3063 BBY, Toras was killed by the rogue Sith Farveil. The young Zhen was then taken under the wing of Darth Kysus who oversaw his training at the Sith Academy, after which, Zhen became Kysus' apprentice.

During a battle in the Valley of the Dark Lords, Zhen, then a Lord, murdered Kysus after the Darth refused to rescue a batch of endangered civilians. Zhen was subsequently promoted to the rank of Darth and discovered a pureblood child named Vycerant. Sensing a great power sleeping in the boy, Zhen took the boy to the Sith Academy where Vycerant became his apprentice.

Zhen and Vycerant formed an unusually friendly master-apprentice friendship which grew as they fought alongside each other during the Great Annexing. Despite their tendency to agree that the Empire was corrupt and in need of reformation, Vycerant felt that Zhen had become hypocritical in his ideology when his master displayed especial brutality during the Invasion of Coruscant. After Vycerant became disillusioned with the Empire, Zhen felt the doubt in his apprentice and confronted him about it. The ensuing argument became a duel, during which Vycerant killed Zhen in front of his entire battalion.

Toras saw the scars and bruises on the boy's arms and face and decided to take him under his wing as his apprentice.

One year later, Toras was approached by a group of Humanite Sith led by Farveil, who were paid to find Zhen by his mother before she died. One of Farveil's minions found Zhen hiding in a cupboard in Toras' smithy, prompting the anti-alien group to draw their lightsabers on the pureblood blacksmith. Toras instinctively activated his lightsaber, one of his own making, in order to defend himself and Zhen. Although he managed to kill two of the Humanites that attacked him, he was eventually killed by Farveil. Zhen subsequently took his mentor's lightsaber and fled the scene.

Toras spoke with a thick accent which many found difficult to understand, as well as stood over seven feet tall.
