Exiles
- "There were twelve of us, including several high ranking commanders: High General Ajunta Pall; Marchioness XoXann, commanding the Black Legions; Baron Dreypa, our fleet's sole remaining admiral; Karness Muur, whose Force-centered battle tactics had saved us from the trap at Fluwhaka; and I, Sorzus Syn, grower of living weapons and biological plagues."

The Exiles, or Jen'jidai in the Sith language, were the twelve Dark Jedi survivors of the Hundred-Year Darkness who were captured and banished by the Jedi Order into the Unknown Regions. They would eventually settle on Korriban, overthrow the pre-Republic Sith Empire and replace it with their own Sith Empire, and establish the Sith Order. The most powerful Dark Jedi among the Exiles were High General Ajunta Pall, Marchioness and Black Legions commander XoXaan, Admiral Baron Remulus Dreypa, Karness Muur, and Sorzus Syn, former high ranking commanders during the War against the Jedi.
Exile
In 6900 BBY the Hundred-Year Darkness ended with the defeat of the Dark Jedi at the Battle of Corbos. Although the leadership of the Galactic Republic wanted the Dark Jedi to be put on trial and executed, the Jedi instead wished to banish them to the Unknown Regions in the hope that they would eventually reject the dark side of the Force accept the light side. The Dark Jedi were embarked onto unarmed transports on a barren world, were led out of charted space by a starfighter escort and left to jump blindly into the uncharted space outside of the Slice.[2]
Jen'ari
The Exiles were guided through the Stygian Caldera by Sorzus Syn, who had spent years collecting rumors about the legendary Kingdom of the Sith, and they eventually reached Korriban, a planet strong in the dark Side of the Force and home to the Sith people. Upon arrival, they awed the Sith with their power over the dark side, who named them the Jen'jidai. The Exiles forged an alliance with the Shadow Hand to gain the confidence of Sith King Hakagram Graush, whom they promptly overthrew. Now in control, they appointed themselves Lords of the Sith, with their leader, Ajunta Pall, being granted the title of Jen'ari, or Dark Lord of the Sith.
Some of the Exiles, however, were not satisfied to rule the Sith and wait to gather their strength. Within a year, some Dark Jedi, led by Baron Dreypa, returned to Republic space to attack the Jedi. Their premature actions served only to alert the Republic and their defenders that some of the Exiles survived and taken control of a region called Sith Space.[1] Those who remained behind used their alchemical arts to blend their DNA with those of the Sith, allowing their lineage to continue through the Sith species. Following their takeover of Korriban, the Exiles reformed into the Sith Order and established the Sith Empire.[1]
