The Revanchists, also known as the Jedi Crusaders, were an unsanctioned renegade faction of the Jedi Order who assisted the Galactic Republic during the Mandalorian Wars. The movement was formed by Jedi Knight Revan and Jedi Knight Alek in opposition to what they saw as inaction by the Jedi Council against the invading Mandolarian Neo-Crusaders.

History[]

In 3,964 BBY, the movement was founded by the Jedi Knight Revan, who wished to take a more proactive role against the invading Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders. Under Revan's leadership, the Revanchist Jedi went against the Jedi Council's wishes and participated in scouting missions on the Outer Rim. In the following year, Revan uncovered the truth of the Mandalorian's genocide of the Cathar people. Although the Jedi Council did not give the Revanchists their full support, Revan organized the organization under the banner of a Republic Mercy Corps, leading the Council to officially sanction their participation in the Mandalorian Wars. 

During the war, the Revanchists, under the leadership of Revan and his friend and fellow Jedi Knight Malak, led the Republic to victory in numerous battles. In 3,960 BBY, the Jedi ultimately defeated the Mandalorians at the war's final battle at Malachor V. However, most of the Revanchists that were not killed during the battle fell to the dark side of the Force over the course of the next year. These Jedi followed Revan and Malak, now the new Dark Lords of the Sith, under their new Sith Empire. The two Sith Lords declared war on the Jedi Council and the Republic, initiating the Jedi Civil War. Three years later, Darth Malak was defeated by Revan, who was redeemed by the Jedi Council, and Malak's Sith Empire was defeated at Rakata Prime.
