The Fallen Order

The Fallen Order

It has been four years since the Jedi Order was exposed as traitors to the Republic and their grand temple on coruscant was raided and their numbers culled. Those members that did survive went into hiding, some could not believe this was galaxy wide but in time they saw the complete betrayal and either fell into despair, hid themselves, or in some darker cases gave into their anger and fell.

Public perception of the Jedi is tainted by propaganda and most folks buy into the story that they were plotting to overthrow the government or at least up top something why else would they have been named enemies of the state. Those that knew the Jedi Order find it hard to believe that an organization that existed to defend the Republic would work against it, but they often keep their opinion quiet in these dark times.

Surviving the Jedi Purge often comes with great sacrifice and it scattered the Jedi who were often off world if they were full members fighting the Separatists; but obviously not impossible some may have simply walked away before the purge came, or were luckily not near clone soldiers, or simply survived the ambush and then found out the full extent of the betrayal. Whatever the case one of the earliest warnings after the attack was the message left by Obi-Wan Kenobi to stay away from the Temple and go into hiding.

Padawans that survived this purge are in a hard place, bereft of guidance and protection most try to blend into the shadows, some dismantled their lightsabers and tried to bury that past and live ordinary lives but this is rarely an easy task especially with the Empire actively hunting any survivors forcing most to abandon the Core for the outer regions of the Empire.

As a note most Jedi do not know that Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker, most believe he perished in the betrayal and would be hard pressed to believe that such a great hero would have turned against the Order. Just something to keep in mind and as for knowing other padawans the Jedi Order is massive, and although the temple on Coruscant is the major center of learning and leadership for the Jedi that is not the only place training happens, and often padawans train in the field alongside their masters. This is important and players that choose to be Jedi survivors in this era should give much thought to who their master was as that is or was an important relationship for them.
