Order of the Jedi Knights

#01—A long time ago, in a forest far, far away
20 BBY (1844 AD)
A Republic shuttle escapes an ambush from Grievous and gets knocked into a blind hyperspace jump into the Unknown Regions during the frantic retreat. Detecting an incoming star, the crew switch off power to deactivate the hyperdrive and then slingshot around it. However the maneuver and intensity of the star badly damages the ship further and they are forced into a crashed landing on the only life-sustaining planet in the system.
When they crash-land in a forest, they realize the damage is surprisingly marginal with a few components needing repairs, most especially the antenna array. However, they are fast to learn that the planet's natives are ridiculously primitive in both technology and society. One particular group finds their ship and determines that they are all evil monsters (without even trying to meet and speak with them!) that must be killed for their lands' protection. The primitives launched a vicious attack on the clones, using freaky Force powers and utterly slaughtered the whole crew. Only the Neti Jedi survived because he wasn't present during the attack.
Alone, the Neti begins the long process of fabricating the necessary parts to repair the shuttle and send out a distress signal to the Republic. It takes the Neti the better part of a 150 years to finally finish the repairs due to the under-developed technology available.
#02—A New Dawn
129 ABY (1993 AD, spring)
During their frantic escape from the spiders following their conversation with Aragog, Harry, Ron, and Fang notice some strange structure in the forest and take refuge inside it. After sealing the doorway shut, they wait for the spiders to leave. To pass the time, they begin exploring the innards of the building they were in. Harry first thought they were inside some kind of obscure magical temple, but Ron quickly shot that notion down. After about an hour, the entranceway suddenly opens and they find themselves greeting a strange 'walking tree' creature dressed in robes. The creature introduces itself and informs them that the spiders were gone, even offering to escort them back to the castle. Though Ron is quite suspicious of the potential 'dark creature', Harry accepts the offer and even Fang is friendly to the strange being. During the long walk back to the school, they learn that the creature was actually a warrior monk who was trying to get back home. Reaching the edge of the school grounds, the monk bids them farewell and returns back into the forest, leaving both boys with many questions.
After dealing with the Chamber of Secrets and reviving the petrified students, the boys share their little adventure and meeting of the monk with Hermione. Interested and determined to meet this person, Hermione forces the boys to take her to the monk's home so that she can do some research on it. Upon meeting the trio and sensing the considerable amount of potential each of them possess (especially Harry), the monk decides to offer them a truly special opportunity: to learn the ways of its Order, to live by a higher standard, to study new ways of 'magic', to become Jedi Knights. It is an offer that each of them accept, with varying levels of caution and curiosity.
They begin making routine nightly visits to the monk (whose name they learned was Don Hrann) until the school year ends and they are forced to return home. Over the next school year, they make constant trips out into the Forbidden Forest to receive training and guidance from Hrann as they progress quickly in their studies of the Force. They discover quickly that Harry has a great gift for Battlemind, Battle-Meld, and Meditation, Hermione has the special power of Psychometry and Force Barriers, and Ron has the exceedingly rare talent for Shatterpoint. Hrann eventually shared his history with them and his hopes to return back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
However, Hrann's teaching was cut short. As their third Hogwarts year came to a close and they were dealing with the escaped convict Sirius Black, a One Sith Acolyte arrives to investigate the distress beacon that the Sith Empire had been detecting for several months now. The Acolyte attacked and killed Hrann, then goes hunting for those three strong but wild Force presences he could sense. Having felt Hrann's death and still smarting from Peter Pettigrew's escape, none of the Trio were in any mood to play nice with the Acolyte as he recklessly attacked them in broad daylight in the Great Hall.
The teachers try to help but are easily pushed back and shot down. It was only after the Trio combined Hermione's Barriers to box him in and Harry's budding Battle-Meld with Ron's Shatterpoint to knock him down that they managed to kill him. Since they were more familiar with much of the Acolyte's gear and equipment, the Trio knew what to take and hid it away while the professors and students were still floundering from the unexpected attack. Dumbledore tries to request answers from them while the Ministry arrives and flat-out demands them, but the Trio are reluctant to answer because they don't want to involve anyone else in what was 'their problems'. However, the Ministry didn't leave empty-handed. They were able to find and confiscate the Acolyte's vessel, taking it down to the Department of Mysteries to be examined and sealed away forever.
Word of the Acolyte's failure to report in reaches Darth Krayt who sends a team of Sith to investigate the disappearance.
#03—Attack of the Sith
With evidence that the enemies of the Jedi Order were at large in the galaxy, the Trio begins building their own lightsabers (after reverse-engineering the Sith Acolyte's weapon) and increasing their dedication to their Force training. They know that if the Sith had found Hrann once, they'll be back soon, and most likely out for vengeance. Ignorant of certain Jedi/Sith customs, each of the Trio used red crystals in their lightsabers to symbolize their pride and allegiance to the Gryffindor House. Using notes that Hrann had left behind for them on the different lightsaber forms, each of them trained and specialized in different ones. Harry chose to specialize in Form 5 (both Shien and Djem So) and Form 7: Juyo. Hermione mastered the entirely defensive Form 3: Soresu and the relaxed Form 6: Niman. Ron went with the basic army-grinder Form 1: Shii-cho and acrobatic Form 4: Ataru.
During their Fourth and Fifth Years, they begin self-training in the Force much more extensively, even to the exclusion of their Hogwarts schooling. Their seeming 'reinvention' of magic alarms many wizards (Snape, Draco, Dumbledore, the Ministry). Following the Triwizard Tournament, Voldemort was revived. When Umbridge starts taking over the school, she focuses most of her attention on the Trio, trying to learning where they were learning their new magic powers from (Dumbledore, she believed) and to catch them red-handed. But they always seem to elude her best efforts. Finally, when she tries to interrogate them (separately) using the Truth Potion, the Trio march up to Dumbledore and request her immediate removal as a teacher. When Dumbledore is unable to because of her Ministry connections, the Trio packs up their things and walk out of Hogwarts, disappearing into the Forbidden Forest (using Hrann's abandoned shuttle as their new home).
Meanwhile, the Ministry is hunting the Trio, wanting answers to the allegations of them being Dumbledore's apprentices, of them using dark magic, and for them to explain the mysterious attack two years prior. The Death Eaters hunt them for vengeance, torture, and sport. The Phoenix Order hunts them for getting their 'weapon' (Harry) against Voldemort back. Using simple Force Illusions, camouflage, and Stealth, they are able to remain undetected as they continue their Force training.
131 ABY (1995 AD, winter)
When the Sith fleet arrives in system, the Republic Hope and Black Crucible both detect it. The Unspeakables (who were still studying the ship) were unable to decipher the Acolyte's alphabet and thus didn't know what was going on when a message appeared in the computer. Though they did inform Fudge of something happening with it. However, they were all caught off guard by the Sith fleet descending over London, wrenching open the earth to expose the Ministry to the Muggles above, and storming the Ministry itself as the Sith tracked the Crucible's signal. They butchered every one of the wizards who interfered with them, taking several prisoner (including Fudge), as they take back the ship into their cruiser's hangar with the tractor beam.
They torture Fudge gleefully as they track the Hope, ignoring the 'weak' military assaults that the British Royal Army and Air Force as they try to force the cruiser Colossus to land. Sensing the Sith approaching, the Trio fires up the Hope and fly off to meet them, sending a surrender signal and a request to come aboard. Curious and sensing latent dark side energies in all three of them, the Sith allow them aboard and meet with them. The Trio reveal they were hoping to leave their pitiful backwater planet and journey the galaxy. If that means serving the Sith, then so be it. During the conversation, Fudge is brought in and the Trio are asked to kill him to prove their worthiness of joining the One Sith. Instead, they fought back.
After a long, hard fought back through the ship, they eventually manage to reach the engine reactors and shut down the power. This sends the Colossus crashing down to earth, heavily damaging the vessel. While the Colossus personnel were recovering, the Trio finds and kill the Sith. However, they were unable to save Fudge, who had been executed early on in the fight by the Sith due to his loud whining and cowardice. They find the Republic Hope miraculously still in one piece and operable in the Colossus's hangar and they blast open the hangar doors to fly away. As they were leaving the cruiser's ruins, the Trio is accosted by the Royal Air Force. They merely state they had crippled the space invader's cruiser and executed the dangerous commanders of the vessel to protect their homeland. Once stated, they gunned the thrusters and quickly outpaced the RAF jets.
#04—The Jedi Trio Strikes Back
Faced with an immediate Sith invasion, the Trio shut down the antenna and end Hrann's distress beacon. However, a Jedi team had also arrived in system and began tracking them. The Trio resign themselves to dealing with their problems on Earth before they can journey through the stars. They return to Hogwarts and confront Dumbledore, learning of the Horcruxes. At long last, the Trio finally realizes just what the strange dark side aura lingering around Harry's scar really is. They perform a basic exorcism on it, destroying the Horcrux. Then they go meditate on the cliff overlooking the Black Lake, searching for dark side auras similar to the one in Harry's scar. Then they go on a treasure hunt in search of them, following their instincts and the Force.
Meanwhile, Voldemort was busy investigating the Colossus. Though it epitomized Muggle technology, he knew that the ones controlling it were dark magic users like himself and he was searching for clues to how they used magic as they did. In the ruins, he gets attracted to a strange glowing pyramid and soon realizes it is like a library of dark side magics. Taking the pyramid, he deciphers the glyphs of the alphabet and begins his own Sith training. At the same time, he sends out his Death Eaters to terrorize the world now that the Magical World has been exposed to Muggles because of the Sith arrival.
132-135 ABY (1996-1999 AD)
The war against Voldemort quickly escalates and gets bloody, lasting three years. He conquers multiple nations (magical and normal), creates a large army of Inferi and Dark Creatures, and devastates the world by destroying many nuclear power plants. The Trio do their best to hinder Voldemort's growing Dark Army. They begin training other Wizards in the Force, multiplying their combative capabilities with each new dedicated Force-user. But even with help from their fledgling Jedi Order, the Phoenix Order, and other likeminded people, their efforts are little more than annoyances to the vast Dark Army. During the Battle of London where the Dark Army were attempting destroy both governments, the Jedi finally meet with the Trio. After a brief fight due to a misunderstanding (red lightsabers), the Jedi take them as apprentices to finish their nearly-completed training.
From the Jedi, the Trio learns of the galaxy's state and of the One Sith. Realizing they had accidentally led the Sith to Earth, they decide to quickly end the war between wizards and Muggles and stop Voldemort. They call for a meeting between the various world leaders with an offer of peace and the chance to travel the stars. The leaders convene, surprised to find their rivals and enemies also there. The collection of all the world leaders in one place was too juicy a target for Voldemort to pass up and he personally led the attack.
After a long battle, he finally reached the Trio and Jedi who were the leaders' last defense. Empowered with his new Sith powers, Voldemort is able to easily blow away any who try to confront him, except for Harry whose raw power matched his own. However, Voldemort focused himself on his Sith powers and Earth magic, completely disregarding the lightsaber training. Once Harry was able to confront him with his saber, Voldemort was overwhelmed by his Djem So onslaught and struck down by a Juyo swing. With Voldemort's public death and the display of their own powers, the Trio was able to secure an agreement of ceasefire between the different factions in exchange for technology and new ways of 'magic schooling'.
During this time of recovery, the magicals and Muggles begin trying to find ways to keep the peace between each other. The Jedi Masters proclaim the Trio fully-fledged Jedi Knights following their defeat of Voldemort. On a newly-created island in the Pacific Ocean (near Hawaii) called Avalon, the Trio construct the first Jedi Academy with help from their Masters and wizard friends and begin teaching. Ron and Hermione are finally married and Harry also gets married to Fleur. They each establish a home on Avalon in hopes of raising their families.
136 ABY (2000 AD)
The peace is short lived as a new and far larger Sith invasion fleet arrives and attacks. The Sith destroy the Jedi Academy and all the large concentrations of Force energies. The wizards are forced to work with the Muggles to defeat the Sith as they begin landing. Once united, the Sith stand little chance on land. The Trio and the Jedi use their own ships to fly up into orbit and land aboard one of the cruisers. Once aboard, they begin trying to take over the ship. Commandeering the cruiser's weapons, they target and disable the other ships, forcing the commanders to surrender or flee.
Using the disabled ships as 'gifts' to the various world leaders, the Trio (with Fleur accompanying Harry) use their own captured one to journey out into the galaxy and start terrorizing the Sith Empire, becoming little more than pirates. The purpose was to draw Krayt's attention away from Earth, which they were very successful of doing. Years later on Earth, they would be remembered as heroes, ending the division between Muggles and Wizards, which led to a united government of the planet, leaving behind a Jedi Academy (which their Masters became teachers of), and bringing the technologies of space travel and hyperdrives to them.
