Bpfassh Uprising

The Bpfassh Uprising was a Dark Jedi insurrection that wreaked havoc in the Sluis sector in 22 BBY, while the Clone Wars were beginning. It started when a group of Jedi from the planet of Bpfassh fell to the dark side of the Force due to the pressure of the war. To oppose them, the Jedi High Council formed a task force led by Yoda, the Grand Master of the Jedi Order himself. Thanks to his intervention, the insurrection was quelled, marking one of the first major victories of the Galactic Republic in the third year of the Clone Wars. The Dark Jedi from Bpfassh, however, had not spoken their last word.

In 19 BBY, the Clone Wars concluded, and the despotic Galactic Empire was formed. Shortly afterwards, the Bpfasshi Dark Jedi resumed their attacks in the Sluis sector, engaging in a large space battle. At the end of that battle, the last of the Dark Jedi seized the ship of the smuggler Jorj Car'das ship and took it to Dagobah. Ironically, that planet was the new residence of Yoda, who was hiding from the Jedi-hating Empire. Once again, the Bpfasshi darksider was killed by the Grand Master.

Despite Yoda's victory, the Bpfassh Uprising was best remembered as a fiasco. Many years after the events, the Bpfasshi still had a deep-seated resentment against the Jedi, and the incident was still discussed in the Imperial Senate.
