STORY DESCRIPTION
In this alternate timeline, the Jedi Order begins to fracture from within-long before the Clone Wars-because of one lie.
After the duel between a Sith warrior and a Jedi on Naboo, the Jedi Council desperately debates the truth: Have the Sith returned? But not all voices speak honestly.
Ki-Adi-Mundi, a respected Cerean Master known for his calm logic, hides a secret fear:
He believes that acknowledging the Sith's return will collapse the already-strained Jedi Order and create panic across the Republic.
So he presents a false certainty to the Council:
"The Sith could not have returned. The Sith are extinct."
This lie becomes the spark that ignites something far more dangerous.
As Jedi Knights begin investigating inconsistencies in the Council's decisions, suspicion spreads. Some believe the Sith are manipulating events. Others accuse the Council of becoming too political, too rigid... too dishonest.
A faction of Jedi-led by younger Knights who trust Qui-Gon Jinn's instincts-break away, demanding transparency and action.
Another faction remains loyal to the High Council, defending its authority at any cost.
When evidence surfaces that Ki-Adi-Mundi intentionally suppressed reports of Sith activity on the Outer Rim, the Order erupts into open conflict.
Brother fights brother.
Master faces apprentice.
And the Sith, hidden in the shadows, quietly celebrate.
As the Jedi Civil War spreads, the Republic trembles, and a new prophecy emerges:
The balance of the Force cannot be restored until the truth is revealed-
and the Jedi confront the darkness they created themselves.
