The Death Knell

Of course, just because others don't know, doesn't mean Su Ming doesn't know.

The mercenary standing behind the female doctor looked at the pile of bubbles, and then took the lead to walk towards the broken interior of the spacecraft. At the same time, he answered the question as if he had read Aphra's mind before she asked the question.

"You want to ask what the Jedi are, right? In fact, they are the predecessors of all Force users. The word Jedi today evolved from their name. Of course, I have also heard about it."

Naturally, this is not the only thing he knows. In his previous life, there was a set of comics called "Dawn of the Jedi", which was the final work of the old canon and also told the origin of the Force user group in the galaxy.

In BBY-36453, nine mysterious giant spaceships that resembled pyramids appeared. They were the Soyo spacecraft mentioned in the Jedi Chronicles. They probably entered this world from outside the galaxy.

They kidnapped members of different races from all over the galaxy, including humans, Sith, Rakata, etc., and sent them to Tython, a planet with a high concentration of Force, which is located in the deep core of the large black hole at the center of the galaxy.

These people who were taken away were the ancestors of the original Force-sensitive organization Jedi Yi. The word Jedi Yi means 'mysterious (je) center (daii)' in the ancient Daibendu society (u) language. )', which was later shortened to Jedi.

These nine Soyo spaceships sent people to the planet and did not leave. After landing, they turned into buildings, and the Jedi transformed them into nine temples for living and research. But I still don’t know what Soyo’s purpose is.

In this way, more than 10,000 years have passed, and the Jedi have thrived in Tyson and its surrounding galaxies. They coexist harmoniously with the Force, regardless of light and darkness, and everyone is as close as one family.

At that time, they lived a peaceful life, and even their weapons were ordinary metal swords, because they only occasionally dealt with wild beasts and had no need for more advanced weapons.

By BBY-25793, the Old Republic had not yet been established, and the Rakata Infinite Empire was still in full swing.

One day, a mysterious and powerful intelligent creature named Xesh came to Taisang and broke the balance of everything, eventually causing a conflict between light and darkness.

The "Force War" that lasted for ten years broke out and caused the Force storm to spread to the entire galaxy. After the war, the Jedi left Tyson, who was no longer suitable for life, and wandered around the universe for 730 years. Later settled on the planet Ossus.

At that time, the Infinite Empire had disappeared, and there was no longer a unified political power in the galaxy. Ossus was still a planet under the jurisdiction of the Tion people's "Glorious Alliance", and the Galactic Republic had just emerged.

The Jedi helped the weak Republic defeat the Glorious Alliance and gain autonomy on the planet. But settling down was only the beginning of hardships, and a series of Star Wars followed.

'The Great Schism', 'Battle of the Goddess', 'Hundred Years of Darkness', 'Hyperspace War', 'Second Schism', 'Third Schism', 'Sith War', 'Jedi Civil War', 'Eternal Empire Invasion',' four divisions'

After this series of major events, the Milky Way has been devastated, with people dying to the point where civilization, technology, and history have all been cut off.

The turmoil lasted for almost 20,000 years. After the Jedi Temple moved to Corsanlo, the capital of the Old Republic, the situation gradually stabilized. However, this also resulted in the fact that most historians can only recognize the history of 5,000 years. Year.

As for the Jedi Knights, many of them naturally know the past history. After all, they have an independent inheritance system. But they just don’t say, hey, they’re just playing.

In fact, Su Ming could understand them, mainly because in those major historical events, the Jedi Knights who represented the light were beaten violently by various hostile forces every time.

There were once eleven planets with a population of tens of billions, and the Jedi Knights were dying and leaving. By the end of the Republic, there were only a few thousand left. Although the dark forces failed time and time again, the Jedi Knights did not win.

It is impossible for the Jedi to let these histories be known to outsiders. Not to mention the shame, just the various records about the enemy's strength may make people fall to the dark side.

Anakin is an example. He once peeked at historical documents in the Jedi Temple, and later fell into darkness for no reason, because he needed power to realize his wishes, and those powers can only be given by the dark side of the Force. he.

But understanding is understanding, and Su Ming does not agree with the Jedi's views, because one thing they did tens of thousands of years ago planted the bitter consequences for all the subsequent experiences.

That is the Goddess War. It was originally just a self-selection within the old republic. The goddess sect, which represents the interests of mankind, took control of the republic and began to centralize the power, hoping to build a free country with humans as the main body.

It was a peaceful internal reform, and they actually did a good job. During that time, the Goddess Cult gave birth to a total of nineteen Speakers, expanding the territory of the Republic fifteen times, and improving people's livelihood.

But the Jedi quit because they believed that the Republic could not be run by humans alone. This was not republican at all, and the government must be returned to all aliens.

So a protracted battle broke out between them and the Republic, and they overthrew the human centralized government of the Republic, replaced it with a lot of alien politicians, and formed a new parliament to give everyone the right to speak.

The Jedi were initially kidnapped to Taisang, and humans made up the majority of them. But after 10,000 years, they only recognized themselves as Jedi, not humans.

So after overthrowing the human regime, they went home happily, and each felt that their brown cloth robes had become more vivid.

After that, the old republic, which was politically inefficient and full of internal corruption, never gave any decent help to the Jedi. Overthrowing the human regime proved the strength of the Jedi, but it also made the new aliens who came to power hate them. Full of fear.

Therefore, no matter what kind of danger the Jedi encounter, the Republic will never help them again. They hope that the Jedi's power will weaken and become a weapon in the hands of politicians.

Did it really end up like this, with the Jedi becoming the ‘Interpol’ of the Old Republic? In short, the only responsibility is to solve crimes and arrest people.

Su Ming didn't know if any Jedi master had regretted this in the past. If so, it could only be said that it was their own fault. There were so many paths to choose from, but they chose a dead end.
