Tython: Destruction and Reclamation
DESCRIPTION
Tython has always been an iconic world for the Jedi. Despite being a sanctuary for the most famous Light Side sect in the galaxy, the Jedi Order, the planet has a long history stained in darkness and violence. Over the course of 6,000 years, the planet's connection to the Jedi has made it the site of five separate battles and an attempt at total destruction. Although the Sith's attempt to destroy the world resulted in the death of all those on its surface, it was ultimately able to be resettled by the Jedi generations later. THE FIRST BATTLE OF TYTHON
RECLAIMING TYTHON (SECOND BATTLE OF TYTHON)
SACKING TYTHON (THIRD BATTLE OF TYTHON)
FOURTH AND FIFTH BATTLES OF TYTHON
Learning from the mistakes of the past and with the death of yet another Empress, the Grandmaster rallied the Jedi once more and launched a second attack to overwhelm the Empire. Further weakened, the Empire's grip on Tython failed and the Jedi once again reclaimed their homeworld. With the Sith Empire beaten back on every front, they were eventually driven into hiding and the Jedi held Tython for many generations until the Sith Empire rose again.

This is site lore. Because Tython's history is one of the areas where our site canon diverges rather significantly from current Disney canon, I thought it warranted a write-up to explain for newer members or veteran members who have forgotten about the current and historical status of Tython. This borrows from some previous site write-ups, other lore articles, and previous plots involving Tython.
