Despot Army

An army subordinate to Hadiya, the ruler of Shikaakwa. It consisted of conscripts and volunteers from all the Settled Worlds of the Tython system, and its driving force was fear and hatred of the Je'daii Order.

Having united the Nine Houses of her homeworld, Hadiya began preparing an attack on Tython. The assembled army was armed with goods from the planet Nox, and the ruler herself earned the nickname of the Despot Queen. Outnumbering the enemy, the army marched on Tython, beginning the Despot War, and fought fiercely, although it had nothing to set against the Force.

Hadiya's inner circle included her chief adviser, the Twi'lek Bakko, the Iktotchi Ka'un Damm, the military commanders Shri-Lan and Gav Vannar, and the Je'daii Daegen Lok, who had gone over to her side. During the decisive assault on the Kaleth temple, Lok killed Hadiya in her chambers, after which the army fell apart in internal strife and ceased to exist in 25,805 BBY.
