Factions of Star Wars: The New Order
The Tythonian Knights of the Jedi & the Coruscanti Alliance of Free Worlds
Rooted in the ancient teachings of the Je’daii Order on Tython, the Knights of the Jedi represent an early and pivotal chapter in the evolution of the Jedi Order. Having transitioned from the Je’daii philosophy of balance to a deeper commitment to the light side of the Force over two millennia ago, these warriors are champions of justice, peace, and harmony. They believe that the light side is the ultimate path to galactic stability and oppose the seductive chaos of the dark side.
The Tythonian Knights are both warriors and philosophers, embodying a balance between martial prowess and spiritual wisdom. Wielding lightsabers forged through early kyber crystal refinement and the guiding power of the Force, they defend the ideals of the nascent Coruscanti Alliance against threats from within and beyond. Unlike the later Jedi Orders, they do not shy away from war, viewing it as a necessary burden in the pursuit of greater peace, though this has sparked considerable debate within their ranks.
The Coruscanti Alliance represents a coalition of star systems striving to preserve freedom, individuality, and democratic governance amidst the chaos of the Core Wars. While they share the Dominion’s vision of a unified galaxy, they reject the notion that peace must come through force. Instead, they believe that cooperation, dialogue, and respect for sovereignty are the true pillars of lasting harmony.
Though their ideals are lofty, the Alliance’s reliance on wartime compromises—such as leaning heavily on the Jedi for military support—often puts them at odds with their principles. Member systems frequently struggle to reconcile their individual interests with the greater good, creating internal discord even as they stand against the Dominion’s encroachment.

The Knights of Bogan & the Corellian Dominion
The Knights of Bogan arose four centuries ago during the First Great Schism, a cataclysmic event that fractured the nascent Jedi Order. Emerging from philosophical debates on Tython, they represent the culmination of dissent against the Jedi’s commitment to the light side of the Force. Rejecting the principles of restraint and harmony, the Knights of Bogan embrace power, ambition, and domination as the true path to galactic order.
They argue that the galaxy’s inherent chaos cannot be tamed through peace but must be subdued through control. They see the dark side of the Force not as a corruption but as a natural expression of strength and purpose. To them, balance does not mean equality between light and dark, but the domination of all under a singular, unyielding authority—theirs.
Though born in rebellion against the Jedi, the Knights of Bogan have since forged their own identity as shadowy manipulators and brutal enforcers. They operate through fear and seduction, corrupting individuals and institutions alike to expand their influence.
The Corellian Dominion believes it is the galaxy's natural leader, its technological and strategic might giving it both the authority and responsibility to unite the fractured Core Worlds. They see the chaos of the galaxy—infighting, piracy, and political stagnation—as proof that only a firm hand can establish peace and order. While their methods are often harsh, they are not driven by malice or tyranny but by the conviction that strength is the only path to lasting stability.
For the Dominion, conquest is not about power for its own sake; it is about creating a galaxy where trade flows freely, borders are secure, and prosperity is enforced by an unwavering central authority. Their alliance with the Knights of Bogan is a calculated risk, as they see the dark-wielders as dangerous but necessary partners in achieving their ultimate goal of galactic unity.

The Warrior Kingdom of Roon
The Warrior Kingdom of Roon is a rising might in the galactic power struggle, its people forged in a crucible of unrelenting combat and strict codes of honor. Their warrior culture venerates strength and loyalty above all, creating a society where every citizen is trained for battle. Roonese warriors are renowned for their discipline, tactical acumen, and mastery of close-quarters combat. Their armor, crafted from the best available ores and adorned with clan emblems, is both highly functional and deeply symbolic. Though their society is fractured into clans and tribes, they are united by a singular belief: that it is their destiny to dominate the galaxy and leave an indelible mark on history.
The Warrior Kingdom sees combat not only as a means of conquest but as a spiritual pursuit. Their warriors view each battle as a test of worthiness, while their chieftains are judged by their ability to lead with both cunning and ferocity. This belief in destiny fuels their alliance with the Corellian Dominion, though it is an uneasy partnership—they see the Dominion as a tool to further their goals, not an equal.

The Witch Kingdom of Dathmiri
The Witches of Dathomir are a feared and enigmatic sisterhood of Force-sensitive mystics, blending ancient sorcery with unparalleled martial prowess. Steeped in shadow and secrecy, they wield the Force in ways that defy conventional understanding, twisting it through arcane rituals and spells. Their origins trace back to Perideia, a distant and fabled system shrouded in legend, from which they began a mysterious migration. This exodus has brought them to Dathomir and Arcana—two worlds rich in untapped Force energy and steeped in myth.
On Dathomir, they have carved out a domain that reverberates with dark power, infusing the very landscape with their magic. On Arcana, their presence is more covert, fueling speculation that they are establishing a network of influence that extends far beyond the Outer Rim. The galaxy at large views their arrival with a mixture of fear, fascination, and suspicion. To the uninitiated, their ways seem alien, blending ritualistic chants, blood magic, and ethereal combat styles into a terrifying whole.

The Monks of Dai Bendu
The Monks of Dai Bendu are an enigmatic and ancient sect, believed to be among the earliest to delve into the mysteries of the Force. Revered as philosophers, mystics, and seekers of truth, they view the Force not merely as a tool or energy field but as the bridge between all life and the fabric of the physical universe. Their practices are deeply meditative, emphasizing harmony with the Living Force while seeking to unravel its most profound mysteries.
In recent centuries, the order has dwindled, becoming a shadow of its former influence. The surviving monks have grown increasingly fixated on understanding the role of midi-chlorians—the microscopic symbionts that enable beings to commune with the Force. Driven by this obsession, the Dai Bendu have embarked on esoteric experiments that some might call sacrilegious. These endeavors delve into life manipulation, genetic alteration, and even the possibility of transcending mortality itself. Their work teeters on the edge of enlightenment and hubris, igniting fear, curiosity, and awe in equal measure.

The Beyonders (Non-Playable)
The Beyonders are a primordial force of destruction, their origins lost to time. They are creatures of pure devastation, consuming life and feeding on the Force itself. Millennia ago, they were sealed away in the Unknown Regions, but their prison is now weakening. Cults devoted to the Beyonders speak of their return with apocalyptic reverence, heralding them as gods who will bring the galaxy to its knees.
Their essence is both physical and metaphysical, existing in a state that defies conventional understanding. Even the most powerful Force users fear the Beyonders, as their presence distorts the very fabric of reality.
