"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."

―Sorzus Syn^[2]

The Exiles, or Jen'jidai in the Sith language, were the twelve Dark Jedi leaders banished by the Jedi Order into the Unknown Regions after the Hundred-Year Darkness. The Exiles would eventually settle on Korriban, conquer the Sith Empire and replace it with their own, and establish the Sith Order to reign over it. The most powerful among the Exiles were High General Ajunta Pall, Marchioness and Black Legions commander XoXaan, Admiral Baron Remulus Dreypa, Karness Muur, and Sorzus Syn, high ranking commanders during the war against the Jedi. Less important Dark Jedi followed Remulus Dreypa when he decided to depart the Stygian Caldera, only to be found by Jedi veterans of the Battle of Corbos, resulting in a chase that ended with both factions banding together after a terrible battle on Kesh

Exile

"The Jedi, so confident in their triumph, did not execute us. With lightsaber points at our backs, they marched us aboard the galleon that would take us into exile, outside the Republic's borders."

―Sorzus Syn^[2]

In 6900 BBY the Hundred-Year Darkness ended with the defeat of the Dark Jedi at the Battle of Corbos. The Dark Jedi were forced onto an unarmed^[3] galleon and exiled beyond known space.^[2]

Jen'ari

"I was one of many. We were servants of the dark side. Sith Lords, we called ourselves... So proud. In the end, we were not so proud."

―Ajunta Pall^[4]

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 their leader, Ajunta Pall, promptly beheaded. Now in control, they appointed themselves Lords of the Sith, with Pall being granted the title of Jen'ari, or Dark Lord of the Sith.^[2]

Some of the Exiles, however, were not satisfied to rule the Sith and wait to gather their strength. Within a year, some Dark Jedi 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. 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.^[3]
