The Army of Light was a legendary military force established near the end of the New Sith Wars by the Jedi Lord Hoth to combat the machinations of Dark Lord of the Sith Skere Kaan's Brotherhood of Darkness. Made up of those Jedi Knights and loyal constituents of the galaxy's many Jedi Lords, as well as troops of the Galactic Republic tired of the government's ineffectual leadership, the Army of Light fought to a hard-won victory during the Ruusan campaign. Following the defeat of Lord Kaan and the Brotherhood of Darkness, the Galactic Senate and the Jedi High Council effectively disbanded the Army with the ratification of the Ruusan Reformations.
