**Order 66**, also known as **the Great Jedi Purge**, was an extermination campaign intended to wipe out the Jedi as part of Darth Sidious' plan to take control of the galaxy as Emperor of the Galactic Empire.

Order 66 specifically referred to the order to begin the campaign of extermination. The order was programmed into the Grand Army clone troopers through behavioral modification biochips implanted in their brains, making it almost impossible for the clones to disobey the command to turn against their Jedi Generals. In secret, Order 66 was the means by which the Sith intended to bring about the long-awaited fall of the Jedi Order.

On July 24, Jedi Masters Mace Windu, Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, and Coleman Kcaj sought to arrest Palpatine upon learning his true identity as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, while at the same time, former Clone Trooper Fives was in another building at a distance to assassinate Palpatine. When their efforts failed, Palpatine used the incident to frame the Jedi Order for treason and, direct the clone army to execute their Jedi commanding officers and Terran Allies in accordance with Order 66.

Across the galaxy, thousands of Jedi were killed by their own troops while the Chancellor's new apprentice, Darth Vader (formerly known as Anakin Skywalker) led the 501st Legion in a direct assault on the Jedi Temple of Coruscant. During the incident, the Terran Army instantly noticed the betrayal and immediately began fighting back, thus managing to save a number of Jedi, such as Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Plo Koon, Luminara Unduli, Aayla Secura, Ki Adi Mundi, former Padawans Ahsoka Tano, Barriss Offee, and others.

During the initial purge, a British soldier named Philip Nelson escaped the Jedi Temple with a youngling named Grogu. Hiding the youngling, he discovered his Force sensitivity during his escape. Philip Nelson would later go on to become a Force sensitive warrior, known as the Crimson Blade, intent on taking revenge on the Empire. He slaughtered thousands of Imperial personnel and caused heavy devastation among the Empire in a campaign that lasted over a decade.

Within a few days of the start of the purge, 90% of the Jedi lost their lives in the chaos. The Terran Alliance was forced retreat out of the Andromeda Galaxy, taking a handfull of Jedi with them. Hundreds of surviving Jedi escaped into hiding, but the newly formed Galactic Empire continued a campaign of extermination against them.

In later times, this act gained the name of the Great Jedi Purge, but was still sometimes referred to by the name of the order that began it, Order 66. In the aftermath, efforts to hunt down surviving Jedi saw the deaths of almost all surviving Jedi, with only a few dozen surviving by the time of the Galactic Civil War, most of whom would never resurface out of fear for their lives. However, the purge also formed the antagonistic relationship between the new Empire and the Terran Alliance, which would later become a key factor in the Empire's downfall.

On the bright side, some of the former Jedis of the Andromeda Galaxy who managed to survive the Purge went on Planet Earth and joined the newlyformed Terran Jedi Order to continue their role as a Jedi and joined the Terran Alliance, among those were Mace Windu, Ki Adi-mundi, Kit Fisto, Ahsoka Tano and Luminara Unduli who were all serving as Jedi Masters on Earth.

## Trivia:

* Compared to the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith film series in both Canon and Legends timeline, majority of the Jedis were killed in the Order 66, however the events of the Revenge of the Sith arc in this timeline this has been changed and that is the intervention of the Terran Alliance saving atleast Hundreds of Jedis including Jedi Masters, knights and some of the Padawans, some of them were taken to Earth.
