| abstract | - Dorjander Kace was a male Human Jedi Master who was captured by the Mandalorian Crusaders during the Great Sith War and spent the remainder of the war in captivity. There, he fell in love with a Mandalorian named Varda. The two were expecting a child, but Varda fell victim to a Republic bombing attack launched by a Jedi. Kace was deeply pained by the loss, but after the conclusion of the war, he still returned to the Jedi Order and served with distinction, earning himself a seat on the Jedi High Council. When the Mandalorian Wars broke out and Jedi Knight Revan started vouching for the Jedi Order's involvement in the conflict, Kace was firmly against the proposal, but the Council eventually approved Revan's participation and Kace was forced to step down from the Council. Convinced that the Republic was corrupt beyond redemption, Kace was certain in the inevitability of the Mandalorian victory. He believed that with the guidance of the Jedi Order, the Mandalorians' rule over the galaxy would be a better alternative to the Republic. Gathering a group of like-minded Jedi Knights around him, Kace formed a faction called the Mandalorian Knights and secretly defected to the Mandalorian side. He sought to help his new allies by providing them with their own Jedi Knights. In order to do so, Kace developed a plan to infiltrate the Jedi Enclave on the planet Dantooine. Leading a Republic military unit called the Phaeda militia in an assault on the planet Essien, Kace managed to trick Captain Dallan Morvis and the troops under his command to leave their ship, the Axehead frigate Reciprocity, without guard. Seizing the frigate and forcing the Phaeda militia to serve under his command, Kace proceeded to capture a transmitter station on the planet Halthor. Having received reinforcements from Mandalore consisting of three fully crewed Kandosii-type dreadnaughts, Kace prepared to attack Phaeda itself. However, he found out that among the members of the militia was the former Jedi Padawan Zayne Carrick, a native of Phaeda who was well-known for his talents for subterfuge. Kace gave Carrick a chance to save his homeworld, and the latter came up with a plan to capture Phaedacomm, a space station located near Phaeda. The seizure of Phaedacomm effectively cut off all communications that Dantooine had with the Republic. Kace hoped to use that to his advantage by arriving to the planet on the Reciprocity, with the dreadnaughts following suit. Kace proceeded with his plan, using the Reciprocity to reach the Jedi Enclave. There, he locked down the academy staff and prepared to take the Jedi Trainees off-world on the dreadnaughts. However, his plans were foiled by Carrick and the Phaeda militia, who had managed to hijack one of the dreadnaughts, the Parjai. Disguised as Mandalorians, they arrived on Dantooine and successfully took away the Jedi children from Kace. The founder of the Mandalorian Knights refused to surrender and dueled Carrick inside the Enclave. Kace eventually stood down when his obsession nearly drove him to kill one of his own soldiers, the technician Koblus Sornell, who was expecting a child. Reminded of Varda, Kace released the captured Enclave staff and surrendered himself to Jedi Master Zhar Lestin. He was subsequently taken to the galactic capital of Coruscant, where he and the Mandalorian Knights faced public trial for treason against the Republic. Even during the process, Kace stood firm in his beliefs and used the opportunity to present his cause to the crowd at the process.
