2238. The split of the Jedi Order and the establishment of the Blood Order (Part 2)
It was precisely because of the orbital bombing that the Jedi Order split.
Some of the Jedi began to believe that war is about resorting to any means, and that in order to win the war, any means should be used. Since orbital bombing can bring victory, it should be used without hesitation! As for the future, let’s talk about it later!
The other part of the Jedi adheres to the creed of the Jedi Order and believes that even in war, one should not give up civilization and humanity, because once you give up these, the final outcome will be The outcome can only be mutual destruction. If a battle reaches a point where civilians must be massacred, orbital bombing must be carried out, and planets must be destroyed to win, then the war has actually failed.
And the most important thing is, if the Jedi Knights, who claim to be the guardians of the galaxy, begin to abuse orbital bombing as a means of warfare, then what are the Jedi Knights? Or the Guardians of the Galaxy? What is the difference between such a Jedi Knight and a Sith?
There was a very heated debate between the two factions of Jedi Knights, and no one could convince the other. And at that time, there was also a split at the top of the Jedi Order.
Mace Windu, the second-in-command of the Jedi Order, encountered a sneak attack by the Eternal Angels during the battle on the planet Harunkar, and his favorite disciple Depa Billaba also fell into darkness. noodle. So under the attack of Depa-Bilaba and the Death Angel, Mace Windu was seriously injured. His spine was severed by Depa-Bilaba's sword and he was directly paralyzed.
Although Mace Windu saved his life after rescue, his temperament changed drastically and his views on war also changed.
And Mace Windu is the one who supports that the war should be won by any means necessary.
With his support, and the fact that Master Yoda has faded away from the front line most of the time, he rarely makes direct decisions, especially when he was injured by the Death Angel during the Battle of Rendili Planet. I stayed behind closed doors to recuperate for a while. Therefore, within the Jedi Order, there is no power that can stop these extreme Jedi Knights.
So from that time on, this group of extreme Jedi Knights, headed by Mace Windu, began to use "blood for blood" as their slogan. It means that they will make those who started the war and caused the killing pay with blood, and they will pay any price for it!
Later, the first Jedi to sign the orbital bombardment order was one of these people.
Since this time, the Jedi Order has essentially split into two parts, but at least at that time, the two groups still stood together.
What really split the Jedi Order into two was that they learned from the Dead Angels that the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who had been hiding deeply, was none other than the Speaker of the Republic, Sif- This piece of information from Palpatine himself!
After confirming this, the anger and hatred in the hearts of this group of Jedi Knights headed by Mace Windu has reached its peak. They believe that it was Darth Sidious who deceived them all. , so he should be responsible for the sacrifices of countless Jedi, the sacrifices of countless troops, and the sacrifices of countless civilians!
Blood Warrior is what he was called from this time on. The Jedi Order also began to lose control.
Mace Windu believed that they could no longer defeat Darth Sidious head-on at this time, so he led the entire Second System Army to attack the Neutrals System Alliance in the Mandalorian sector. His original plan was to occupy the Mandalore Sector as a base, use the Second System Army as the foundation, become a separatist warlord, and then slowly confront Darth Sidious.
His military operation also took away many extreme Jedi Knights. From the perspective of the Jedi Order, this was a split.
Master Yoda held his still-healed body and forcibly assassinated Sheev Palpatine. It was probably because the Jedi Order was out of control and divided, which made him feel desperate.
But this time the Jedi Order split, neither of the two parties got a good ending. Mace Windu led the Blood Warriors and the main fleet of the Second System Army to attack the Mandalorian sector, but encountered Severance Tann. In the end, Tann divided them and attacked them, and the main fleet was defeated. Part of the remnant army returned to the Galactic Republic, and Mace Windu could only lead another part of the remnant army to hide and survive.
After Master Yoda disappeared, the Jedi Order headed by Master Shakti began an emergency evacuation. Although many apprentices were sent away, they were eventually attacked by Anna, who fell to the dark side. The betrayal and massacre of Jin-Skywalker, the issuance of Order 66, and the Jedi Order suffered heavy casualties.
Many of these Jedi Knights lived abroad, and then gradually gathered together to form the New Jedi Order.
As a result, the once glorious Jedi Order finally collapsed, and the remnants were divided into two parts-the Blood Order and the New Jedi Order.
Most of the Jedi Knights of the Blood Order fell to the dark side because of anger and hatred. Almost everyone thought they were dead, but they survived very strongly.
In order to get support, the Blood Warriors began to secretly contact some anti-Galaxy Empire forces through the mediation of Ki-Adi Mundi. He packaged himself as a powerful mercenary force in order to gain support.
In this process, it was first because some of the planets that broke out in rebellion wanted to seek help from the Blood Warriors, and then these planets joined the 'leader' under the unified command of the rebel army. So from this moment on, the Blood Warriors inevitably got in touch with the rebels.
But the Blood Warriors are really closely related to the remnants of separatism!
Most of these planets that previously joined the Confederation of Independent Systems were non-human races. Even if they surrendered, they still received all kinds of discrimination and exploitation in the Galactic Empire, and they could not see a future at all. Therefore, these forces began to actively seek military help so that they could resist the Galactic Empire and restore the separatist forces.
As a result, the Blood Warriors were short of money and the remaining separatist forces were short of arms. The two sides hit it off and began secretly cooperating.
Therefore, in the past few years, many times the Blood Warriors have secretly supported the resistance movements on those planets. This fact actually coincides with the rebellion, but the Blood Warriors' behavior is more extreme.
The Blood Warriors will use methods including assassination, kidnapping, extortion, and even terrorist attacks to achieve their goals. Wherever they appear, they are often followed by brutal killings!
So the relationship between Mace Windu and the 'leader' of the rebel army is such that although the two enemies have the same goal, they are wary of each other. They are not the same kind of people at all.
So now, I got the news from the rebel's contact person that a man named Orega was entrusted by Tang Xiao to come to find him, which made Mace Windu feel very vigilant. .
He began to think that he had been exposed.
Moreover, there is still a large blood debt to be settled between him and the deceased angel Tang Xiao! Tang Xiao ranked second only to Darth Sidious on Mace Windu's hunting list! (End of this chapter)
