The Brotherhood of the Twilight (sometimes referred to as the Order of the Twilight) was a sub-group of the Jedi Order located on Chalacta.
The Brotherhood started as a group of Force users devoted to maintaining the perceived balance between darkness and light, but after existing separately for nearly 12 years, they finally merged with the Jedi Order in 23 ABY, becoming part of the hallowed institution. They remained on Chalacta, however, protecting the people there from their headquarters, the Temple of the Twilight.
The group was led by the former Sith acolytes Lucath and Nietdaeth.
The Vision
Apart from the Jedi Code, the Brotherhood of the Twilight also followed a code known as the Vision. This code detailed various quotes and ideas that signified the ideals of the Brotherhood.
- Compassion is a flaw, but one we must all endure. Without compassion, we are naught.
- A punishment is a lesson.
- Do not feel ashamed by failure. Failure often leads to wisdom.
- What is done in secret has great power.
- Move in secret when you can. The blow in the darkness is the killing blow.
- Fight your fear. Fear leads to the Dark Side.
- Do not neglect old tricks. They work.
History
The Order of the Twilight was founded by the two former Sith Acolytes Lucath and Nietdaeth.
The two Acolytes were assigned to the planet Ami'ri as customs commanders. While there, they became disenchanted with the Sith Empire, and planned to leave as soon as possible. When an opportunity presented itself, they seized it.
A young smuggler, Matthew Donovan, had been captured during a run to Ami'ri. Under the guise of wanting to use the smuggler to find a traitor, the two Acolytes left Ami'ri, and went to Dellalt. There the street boy Beliel joined the group. The plan was then to go to Nar Shaddaa, where Matthew would be free to leave.
That was not to be. While en route, the group was captured by pirates. Moving quickly, Lucath and Nietdaeth disabled the pirate captain and took command of the pirate ship, forcing them to return to their base. Once there, they managed to persuade the pirate leader, Noel Silvermoon, to make an alliance with the group. This was the beginning of the Order of the Twilight.
Lucath and Nietdaeth spent two months training Matthew and Beliel. By then, the limited knowledge of the two former Sith was becoming apparent, and when the news of the fall of the Sith Empire reached them, Lucath and Matthew went to Ossus in search of a Holocron.
They found more than the Holocron; the former pilot Keira Darkflame joined them on Ossus, and was taken as an apprentice to Lucath.
When they returned, they found that Nietdaeth had recruited several others for the order: the Fallen Jedi Niran Quinn, the Firrerreo Leos, the Kiffar Gaebriel Marien, the Cathar Uraki Tysus, and the near-human Zhang Li.
These five new recruits were trained primarily by Nietdaeth, only occasionally coming across Lucath, who preferred to train his own three apprentices. During their training, events led to Quinn and Zhang Li falling briefly to the Dark Side. They returned to the Light Side, but the events resulted in Quinn leaving (later to become a member of the Jedi Order) and Zhang Li ending up in a coma. Uraki left the Brotherhood before time to seek out his parents.
Shortly after, the pirates and the Brotherhood left, settling on the homeplanet of Leos, Firrerre.
Until recently, the Order resided on Firrerre, as part of an informal alliance with the New Firrerre Republic, but after the Firrerre Sector was plunged into chaos, the Order have left. They moved to Chalacta, helping to restore peace and order to that tormented world.
Legacy Era
Over the years, the Brotherhood drifted further and further towards the teachings of the Jedi Order, and only the dark past of its leaders separated the Brotherhood and the Jedi. Finally, in 23 ABY, the Brotherhood merged with the Jedi Order, becoming a part of it, though they remained on Chalacta, protecting the people there from their headquarters, the Temple of the Twilight.
Most of the members had children, who became part of the Brotherhood, and by 41 ABY the Brotherhood consisted of nineteen members.
