Description
A union of Jedi Knights who broke away from the Order following Exar Kun, who had taken the title of Dark Lord of the Sith, in order to study the Sith arts.
The schism began with Kun's speech on Ossus. After the death of Arca Jeth on Deneba, many Knights became disillusioned with the Order and lost faith in its permanence, which Kun exploited by promising them forgotten knowledge and skills of ancient times.
In the Great Sith War the brotherhood formed its own Sith realm, to which the Krath cult and the Mandalorian Crusaders led by Mandalore the Indomitable swore allegiance. The combined forces moved against the Republic and the Jedi Order, but the war ended in their defeat.
