A Brief History of the times between Return of the Jedi and Legacy Comics (c5ABY-c130ABY)
The Skywalker Family:
Luke Skywalker had one son who he named Ben Skywalker born about 27 years after the Battle of Yavin (after Obi-Wan Kenobi). His wife was Mara Jade Skywalker. Luke Skywalker lived a full life until 127 ABY, his death (along with his sister's slightly earlier) marked the launch of the Ossus Project, in which the Yuuzhan Vong would help terraform 100 systems in reparation for what they did during the Yuuzhan Vong war between 25 ABY-30ABY.
Ben Skywalker had three children, Owain (born 52 ABY), Jade (born 59 ABY) and Beru (born 53 ABY). Ben and his wife both died in a horrible shuttle accident in 100 ABY.
Owain Skywalker had one son named Kol Skywalker. Owain's wife was a galaxy renowned doctor who unfortunately died young when treating a plague on an Outer Rim Planet while on work. When his son, Kol reached adulthood and attained the status of Jedi Knight, he disappeared into the Unknown Regions, he has not been heard of since.
Jade Skywalker went to Zonama Sekot when she reached adulthood and afterward married into the Ordoan Order. She had numerous children with the Clan Leader of the Ordoan Order.
Beru Skywalker married into the Fydiran Order, taking the son of Jarec Dermayil as her husband. They had two sons, and a large extended family. However, she always regretted losing contact with her brother, Owain and his family.
Kol Skywalker had one son, Cade Skywalker by a woman named Morrigan Corde who disappeared not long after she gave birth, it was suspected that she was kidnapped against her will or coerced by the Empire but nothing could ever be proven.
The Solo Clan
Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo both lived until approximately 125 ABY. They had three children, Jacen who would later turn to the Dark Side and had to be put down, Jaina who became Empress Fel I, and Anakin who was killed during the Yuuzhan Vong War.
Jacen had one child, Allana by the Queen of Hapes, Tenel Ka. However, during the Confederacy War, Allana was deposed and taken in to be raised by Han and Leia. Allana, when she reached adulthood, dropped off the galactic radar. It is rumoured she changed her last name after it became known that Jacen Solo was in fact Darth Caedus.
Jaina Solo became Empress Fel I when she married Emperor Jagged Fel. She is the ancestor of the current Emperor Fel III and Princess Marasiah Fel
Anakin Solo, Han and Leia's third child died during the Yuuzhan Vong war
Unknown Regions (Fydiran, Ordoan, Sekotan) History (between 30ABY and 130 ABY)
Kroder Dermayil (codename: Emperor's Shadow), was placed in charge of Project Byss by the reborn Emperor Palpatine. After Palpatine's final death, whilst on a routine mission into known space, his Imperial Star Destroyer, the Dark Angel was captured by the New Republic. He made it look as if his crew had mutinied, in an effort to save them all and keep them together. During that time he had been carrying on a relationship with his XO. Kroder ended up being thrown in prison, after a long interrogation, which included having his mind forcibly probed by Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade which earned both of them his hate. Soon after, he instigated a prison brawl in which, by using the Force he killed twenty other prisoners and disabled numerous security droids. For this he was placed in deep stasis.
Unbeknownst to him, his XO had fallen pregnant with his child. She was transferred off the Dark Angel, ostensibly to give birth. The Dark Angel 'de-mutinied' not long after and returned to Fydir, covering their escape by making it look like they had been destroyed. The XO gave birth to a son, who she named Jarec. Not long after, she quit the New Republic forces, and moved onto a private life. During the Yuuzhan Vong war, she was brutally murdered and Jarec was kidnapped by a Sith, possibly the Dark Lady Lumiya, or a former apprentice of hers.
In 31 ABY, when the Yuuzhan Vong War ended, Kuat of Kuat authorised the release of Kroder from deep stasis. He was revealed to be a member of the royal families of Kuat, who had been given to Emperor Palpatine in exchange for a favour long ago. He was appointed to the role of junior senator of Kuat in the Galactic Alliance, headquartered on Denon. They hoped that the appointment of an ex-military man would undo the damage that Viqi Shesh had caused amongst the navy. Meanwhile, Jarec had become like a rabid monster due to the Sith, and when he escaped the Sith he began a murder spree, mutilating bodies like an animal, having been driven past sanity by the Sith. He was saved by Jacen Solo, who at that time was still empathic. Jacen trained Jarec, and it was in 31 ABY that they returned to Denon after stopping by Zonama Sekot where Jarec received Sekotan implants for the limbs that he had lost. Somehow, he was able to access the Force through them, as well as the rest of his body, even though the Yuuzhan Vong seemed to be removed from the Force as the Ossus Order knew it.
It was a fateful day in 31 ABY when Kroder and Jarec met, on Denon. Reunited at last with his unknown son, he began to form a brotherly relationship with Jarec. Whilst he was serving as Senator, Kroder had not forgotten his grudge against the Jedi and the New Republic and was in the process of starting a guerrilla war against them from the hidden base on Fydir.
However, the other members of Project Byss and the Council of Seers at that time of Fydir Two disagreed, and decided to join the Galactic Alliance, ushering the GA into the Star Cluster. In a fit of Dark Side rage, Kroder murdered the whole Council of Seers at that time. Jacen Solo and Jarec went down planetside, and engaged in a fierce duel with Kroder. Father fought Son in a fierce duel, the Force crackling as years of pent up emotions released themselves in a maelstrom. When the end of the fight came, the whole truth was laid bare. Both Jacen and Jarec promised to keep Kroder's secret Force sensitivity from all as he went to his exile. Not long after, Jarec was granted the status of Jedi Knight of the Ossus Order and served the Galactic Alliance in the reconstruction of Coruscant.
Kroder found his peace on the planet Ruusan, amongst the ruins of the Valley clinging to the last gift that he had received, a Jedi Holocron that he had received from the Emperor Palpatine, the man that he had called a father of sorts. During those ten years he trained in the ways of the Force, in daily communion with it.
During the Confederation War and the fall of Jacen Solo to the Dark Side, both Kroder and Jarec returned to Fydir, and helped the Confederation in the war against the Galactic Alliance Guard and its assorted navies. Not long after both decided to remain full-time of Fydir. Jarec bought with him, his girlfriend, Jedi Knight Larina Doman of Ciutric who would become his wife and they started a family. It was then the Fydirans withdrew from the Galactic Alliance and looked to the Unknown Regions instead.
In c60ABY, the Fydirans discovered the Ordoans, in the Ordo Star System, those who chose to remain behind after the True Sith War which had occurred 4000 years prior as guardians over the True Sith's homeworld. The Fydirans, utilising their scientific technology from Project Byss, now Fydiran Science, helped to undo the devastating effects of the True Sith bioweapon that they had launched on their own homeworld which a last act of defiance which had rendered the surface unhospitable and poisonous. With the opening of the True Sith homeworld, and Sekotan biotech, the Fydirans and Ordoans were able to conclude that the True Sith were indeed extinct. Subsequnetly, the Fydirans and the Ordoan Order who were guardians of many ancient Jedi secrets, including Holocron's of Jedi Master Revan, the Jedi Exile and Master Jolee Bindo, entered into a treaty of cooperation.
In 74 ABY, Iliar Dermayil, Jarec's son, married Beru Skywalker, uniting the Fydiran Order with the blood of the Skywalkers. Beru remained close to her sister, Jade who later married into the Ordoan Order. The Ordoan Order and the Fydiran Order were left in charge of the Unknown Regions, whilst the Ossus Order had the known galaxy under their watch.
Along with Sekot, and the Chiss, the Ordoans and Fydirans became the Guardians of the Unknown Regions, engaging in numerous wars against the Ssi-Ruuk, and intervening in numerous Nagai-Tof wars as well as helping subdue the Vagaari and Killiks if they got too troublesome. It was during one of these wars that the Nagai now known as Darth Nihl was orphaned by Tof forces, due to highly questionable tactics by the Fydiran intervention force.
In 120ABY, Larina Dermayil passed on during the Third Ssi-Ruuk war, and Jarec joined the Council of Seers, joining his father who had been on the council for years, now. The Third Ssi-Ruuk war between Lhwekk and Fydir and its allies ended not long after.
