Corsair Wars

The Corsair Wars were a conflict in the galaxy that took place some time prior to 19 BBY. In its aftermath, the Jedi Master Oo'ob broke Jedi doctrine and recruited the crystallist Var-Whill to create the Farkiller, a sniper rifle modified with lightsaber technology.

The Corsair Wars were mentioned in Professor Korin Aphra's "Notes on Jedi Heresies," which explained Oo'ob and Var-Whill's actions in the aftermath of the conflict. The notes were later recounted to Aphra's daughter, Chelli, by the rebel protocol droid Teezee-Too prior to the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY.
