Jarus Prime A few Years before the Clone Wars

## Jarus Prime

***"You may be able to Conquer a Few Cities Outsider.... but the Spirit of the planet itself will envelop and erode you all until you are nothing but a husk..."***-King Ranjo Stričevi The XI of Jarus Prime's message to Mandalore the Ultimate, 3978 BBY

## Description

A terrestrial planet in the Jarusian sector's Vječno Carstvo system within the Northern Regions of the Outer To Mid Rim Territories, Located Nearest to Dantooine, Jarus Prime is at the Center of what the Jarusian People would call the Vječno Carstvo, or the Eternal Empire System (not to be confused with the Eternal Empire of the Old Republic), or simply the Jarusian Sector for Outsiders, it's primary hyperspace lanes making transport between itself and its Moons easier, along side its trade routes. transport however from outside the system of worlds was difficult due to its isolated nature and complicated navigation requirements, colonization or discovery of the sector was a complicated and very dangerous endeavor.

The Terrain of Jarus Prime has a reputation of being incredibly hazardous to those outside the cities, creatures, diseases, fauna and even the weather and seasons made habitation difficult at the start.

## History

##### Early History

***"So... this is to be our new home? so far from where we've come from the large cities of our home land.. to a snow covered landscape..."- A translated transcript from an Unknown Colonist's Journal, 45,584 BBY***

Thousands of Years before even the Galactic Republic was founded, An Unidentified Species from the Unknown Regions managed to successfully begin the long colonization effort and would soon be starting the creation of what would Become Jarus Prime, but before it became that. it's Colonist's called it Nou Món, or the New World in their language, its earliest histories primarily is lost to time due to what could be perceived as Colonial infighting that could be dated for lasting the first 600 years of the colony's existence that they would call Anys ensangonats, or the "Bloodied Years" in Basic, lasting from 45,561 BBY-44,961 BBY. After 44,961 BBY, the end of the Bloodied Years. the First solid recorded historical encounters with those who would be known as the Jarusians Tribal's were discovered, they did not have the advanced technology of the foreign Colonists who came there. but they proved to be of strong intellect and cunning when they wanted to be, often attacking or trading with Colonists. for the Colonists they found trade to be a necessity to survive as for a lot of the early months on the planet it was temperate, with jungles, seas, lakes and other signs of vegetation and life to sustain on. but when Winter arrived it was one of the worst times for even the long time creatures that lived there. the Predatory Creatures known as Strider's became more active and aggressive, often targeting Colonist villages and towns in strong numbers. luckily for the Colonists their weapons were generally effective against them, and they adapted to these attacks over the years, making the Strider threats significantly less devastating when they did happen and grew more and more self reliant. the Colonists and Tribes began to integrate and mingle more then ever before, creating what would be considered the Modern Jarusian Species seen today. But for the alien colonist's of Jarus Prime. things were not going to last the way they were forever.

##### Early History: Birth of the Jarusian Crown

***"By the glory of the Crown, I shall Stand, I shall Fight. I shall Destroy all who would threaten our Holy Order, and our Holy Crown... LONG LIVE THE CROWN!"- The Oath of the Kings Holy Army, 35,918 BBY***

The Year is 35,955 BBY, it's been thousands of years since the Colonists arrived, and the Colonists have achieved dominance over the majority of the planet, bringing in trade from the Unknown Regions to fuel the expansion, however there was tensions brewing. the Jarusian Tribes and even the Jarusian/colonist fold have slowly begun to hold deep resentment towards their colonizers, they were starting to get an identity for themselves that did not include their perceived occupiers. they were growing what would become a big aspect of their future history and conflicts to come. a sense of distrust of outsiders. the most influential of the Jarusians Gathered and began to prepare for their revolution and revolt on the Colonizers, to drive them from the planet and achieve their independence. in the year 35,921 BBY, the Jarusian's began their revolt in the city that would become known as Gospodari, the Capital City of What would become the Jarusian Empire for the next several thousand years. The local colonial government at the city would be quickly overwhelmed by the Rebels and the Rebels took the city rapidly, but they would not go uncontested, the Colonial Government deployed its troops to take the City back in what would be known as the Battle of the Ark, where a majority of the fighting took place near the Ark of Cristòfol Estela, created to honor the City's founding Colonist. unfortunately for the Rebels, they were struck hard and fled the City, but their actions and the show of Jarusian Resolve spread across the Planet, Jarusians began to revolt across the Planet. another meeting would be held between the Rebels, and they decided that they would make their intentions of independents official, and the rebel's united and chose a Leader, who would become the first Ruler and King of the Jarusian People. King Zvonimir Stričevi The First. the Colonial Government began to panic as news of this spread and more Jarusians Rebelled. with being so far from the Unknown Regions the Colonial Military did not get the reinforcements it desperately needed. and under the command of one Vedran Evecol, the military force that would become the Kings Holy Army formed in 35,918 BBY, and after a few more years of conflict, the Colonists fled the planet. and King Zvonimir Stričevi The First took the throne and lead for 200 more years until his death. and for thousands of years the Jarusian People were at peace, but this peace would not go uncontested and wouldn't last... As more then several thousands of years. new forces began to build and expand around them.

### The Galactic Republic Arrive

The Year was 24,821 BBY. For the People Of Jarus Prime, there was peace and a sense of unity between them all, rarely was there conflict between them. their technological advance however somewhat stagnated due to no true necessity to expand it once the colonists left. But a new Galactic Force, the Infant Galactic Republic would have its sight's and discovered Jarus Prime for the first time in Galactic History since the colonist's who came there, along side the Republic Delegates, there was the Members of the Ancient Jedi Order. a legendary group of individuals who used the powers of the Force to learn, understand, and wield it to alter the world around them. the Force up to that point was completely unknown to the Jarusian People, there were Force Sensitives among the Jarusian People but they considered it more of religious and spiritual gift, then what it truly was. the King at the time. King Zvonimir Stričevi would meet the Republic and Jedi Delegates. and eventually after a few years of talking. the King would be convinced to join the member planets of The Galactic Republic, and the Senate. altering the Course of Jarus Prime's history forever. many years later however the Jarusian People's resolve and strength would be tested when a armada would arrive near Jarus Prime... it was 3978 BBY. the Age of Mandalore The Ultimate, and the Mandalorian Neo Crusaders.

#### The Mandalorian Crusade, and the Great Defense Of Jarus Prime.

***"The Jarusian People shall be one of Many we Conquer in the name of Mandalore the Ultimate... we shall not Fail... we will crush them and the Republic under our armored boots..."-Chax Sturryss, Mandalorian Neo-Crusader Leader during the Invasion Of Jarus Prime***

The Great Defense Of Jarus Prime as the Jarusians Call it, Or the Great Humiliation Of Jarus Prime as the Neo-Crusaders and Mandalorians Call it, was a battle that lasted for Several Years and was fought between the Allied Republic And Jarusian's, Versus the Mandalorian Neo Crusaders and the Sith under the command of Chax Sturryss

who acted as a kind of General under Mandalore the Ultimate during the Crusade. it was a drawn out fight between both sides as they fought to control vital locations and bash back the enemy armies, the conflict took many from both sides, with a reported two million Jarusian Civilians killed in the fighting by the Neo Crusaders and Sith. the Neo Crusaders and their Sith allies however were devastated when the Jedi under the Command of Paxtus and Petra Zane on orders from Jedi Knight Revan would lead a massive counter attack on the Neo Crusaders in what would be called the Liberation of Gospodari after the Neo Crusader Led Sith took the Capital, and King Ranjo Stričevi The XI was killed by Chax Sturryss, however in the end the Sith would be wiped out by the Jedi task force, and the Neo Crusader's were forced to flee the planet in humiliation after the son of King Ranjo cut the head off of Chax Sturryss and his Subordinates during the Liberation of Gospodari. the New King would be found to be force sensitive by the Jedi Order and left for a few years under Revans group of Jedi and became one of Jarus Prime's first Jedi. starting a trend of Jarusian Jedi's being one of the stronger force sensitive wielding species in the galaxy. After the Crusades the Jarusian's would begin a rapid and incredible revolution in technology and exploration. colonizing multiple nearby worlds and creating technology, industries and weapons that would make the Galactic Republic invest interest into keeping it an ally.

## History Part II: The Clone Wars

***"King Luuttan, I am Count Dooku of the Separatist Alliance... I know of you're peoples frustrations and troubles. And I am here to humbly say that we are here to help."***

***"Count Dooku, I know of you're tricks and I am not impressed. I shall not tarnish my dignity by bowing to the Confederacy Of Independent Systems."***

***"King Luuttan I must insist you take my offer. you wouldn't want to jeopardize you're people's future by denying my Generous offer."***-King Luuttan of Jarus Prime and Count Dooku

A Great deal of years after the Mandalorian Crusade and other conflicts. The Galaxy was in general peace, after the supposed final destruction of the Sith and not wanting to repeat the devastating cycle of war that has torn the Galaxy and nearly the Galactic Republic apart more then once was finally done. and with the implementation of the Ruusan Reformation the Republic and even Jedi Demilitarized, hoping that it would stop further conflicts to allow the Galaxy to heal, but One Thousand years after it was implemented the galaxy was hardly the safe utopia advertised in the Reformation and it caused the gradual yet drastic degradation of the Republic's authority and the Outer Rim and other worlds were feeling neglected and as if the Core Worlds never cared began to share a common hatred against the Republic, and the Senate, in the Background the Sith were never gone and hijacked the movement, Darth Sidious, or Sheev Palpatine the Naboo Senator and Politician along side Darth Plagueis had a devious plan to rock the galaxy to its core and destroy the Jedi. it would be plan decades in the making, and would eventually collide into the start of the end of the Jedi and the Republic it stood to protect, The Clone Wars would consume the Galaxy and Jarus Prime itself was caught in it. the Pro Republic Jarusian Government under King Luuttan would begin to be ridiculed and even having Pro Separatist Rallies and armed revolts begin to spring up across the planet under the slogan "Restore Jarus Prime, Expel the Republic", yet specifically it was large within the territory lead by his brother, Lord Dervial. and it would collide in the death of King Luuttan, the rise of Lord Dervial to being King, and The Battle of Jarus Prime.
