abstract | - "The Reawakened" were a group of twelve Jedi in the Galactic Republic who lived at the time of Darth Ruin. Disheartened and disillusioned by the Fourth Great Schism and the seemingly inevitable rebirth cycle of the Sith, they determined to leave behind the Jedi and the galaxy as they knew it. Boarding a sleeper ship, they set course into the Unknown Regions, trusting in the Force to guide them where it willed. An error in the freezing process rendered their bodies static but kept their minds active, and over the next twenty-one centuries, they slowly went mad, each telepathically dragging the others down. When they finally landed on Kizav, they had been so far reduced that they craved only the experience of physical and emotional stimulation. Enslaving the native Skavik and striking a deal with their natural predators, the Veracht, the twelve unleashed their horrors on the Golden Empire in what became known as the Nightmare War.
