Despot War

The Despot War, also known as the Despot Wars, was a conflict that occurred in the Tython system in the year 25,805 BBY when the Despot Queen Hadiya attempted to unite the crime barons of her homeworld Shikaakwa and conquer the Tython system. Rising to become the Kral, or overlord, of Shikaakwa, Hadiya sought to unify the planet's aristocracy under a single leader, and much of the aristocracy resisted this.

The Je'daii Order on the planet Tython, seeing that Hadiya's plans were a threat to the system's stability, decided to intervene on the side of the aristocracy. War broke out between the Je'daii and Hadiya's Despot Army, but when Hadiya invaded Tython and attacked the Je'daii temple Kaleth, she was killed by the Je'daii Ranger Daegen Lok, who had been undercover in Hadiya's army to get close to her.

Hadiya's death at Lok's hands ended the war, but not before there were a hundred thousand Tythan casualties, over a million casualties among the Despot Army, and thousands of injured, and tensions in the Tython system remained high in the decade following the war.
