The Ambush of Rhen Var -
1779 JAC |
|
 |
|
|
Roughly a year after the onset
of the Clone Wars, Separatist forces attacked a Jedi
stronghold on the ice planet Rhen Var. The world had been
under protective quarantine for hundreds of years by the
Jedi Order, who had-for reasons largely unknown-insisted
that the planet posed a threat to the greater Republic.
The attack was instigated by
one of the leaders of the Separatist movement, Count Dúuki,
who had convinced elements of both the Techno Union and
the Trade Federation that the Jedi's "protective
quarantine" was simply a front for a covert military
operation. |
Separatist forces met with
little resistance when invaded the planet, however, as
there were only a handful of Jedi left to protect the
world. Knowing that they could not hope to defeat a
contingent of the Separatist army, they opted to
evacuate the planet peacefully.
Truth be told, the significance of Rhen Var lay not in
any nonexistent military operations taking place on the
world, but rather in a set of abandoned tombs buried
beneath the planet's icy surface. Thousands of years
ago, Rhen Var had housed a temple of the ancient Sith,
which now lay in a scattered field of ruin. Count
Dúuki's true intentions had been to unleash what ancient
Sith artifacts remained for use in his war against the
Jedi and the Republic. The last one to deal with these
artifacts was the Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma, now nearly four
millennia dead.
In hopes they might learn how to defeat Count Dúuki's
plan, the Jedi later mounted a taskforce to retake Rhen
Var from Separatist control. Had their efforts not been
successful, the outcome of the Clone Wars might have
been vastly different-as the relics would have given
Dúuki the power to defeat the Jedi in the heart of the
Clone Wars-a blow that could have turned the tides of
the conflict in the Separatist's favor. |
