Dark Jedi uprising

An uprising of Dark Jedi occurred in the Elrood sector of the galaxy during the last decades of the Galactic Republic, a few years before the Subjugation of Naboo. Having sensed a disturbance in the Force provoked by a band of Dark Jedi, a Jedi Consular named Jorus C'baoth intervened with a group of fellow Knights and brought the insurrection to an end. The sector was liberated from the scourge of the Dark Jedi, and, as a consequence of his victory, C'baoth awarded himself the rank of Jedi Master. The memory of that incident was later conflated with a similar crisis, which involved Grand Master Yoda and occurred at the end of the Clone Wars. That confusion even made its way into the historical records of the Galactic Senate that were retrieved by Luke Skywalker, founder of the New Jedi Order, more than forty years later.
