After an additional three thousand and seventy-eight years of life, Orono saw one of his worst fears realized.With thousands dead on both sides, the Republic and Empire were calling for an end to the bloodshed. Sensing that the Sith would simply use this as an opportunity to destroy the Republic, there was only one choice: faking the deaths of both his House and himself. It was on Coruscant that the entirely of House Zoiji was attacked by thousands of "Sith warriors" (really illusions created by Orono) and gradually succumbed to their wounds. The Republic populace could only watch in horror as their greatest heroes were killed before their very eyes. When the dust settled only a small group of corpses remained. As House Zoiji had been a close friend and ally to anyone in the Republic, thousands gathered to mourn them. The people's grief was such that their tears nearly flooded the streets as the Zoiji family was buried. Their grief soon turned to anger at the Empire for killing the Zoiji family. Driven by vengeance, millions of worked at the factories and bases longer every day, training so that they might avenge the vile act they witnessed. The full strength of this army was brought to bear in three year's time. Where once only a handful of ships entered Imperial space over Dromund Kaas, twelve million ships carrying twice as many soldiers swarmed the Imperial battlements. Any ship accounted for from civilian freighters to luxury liners and battleships, each was carrying several weapons. When the battle reached the planet's surface, the soldiers fought with a savagery that surprised even the most seasoned Sith Lords. When the Imperial Army lay dead or dying, the soldiers gathered explosives and set fire to many temples and supply buildings. This also destroyed barriers in the Force that prevented the Zoiji family from resurrecting themselves. As they emerged from a flash of light the Zoiji family was welcomed to the great joy of the people.
However what they did not realize was that the Sith Emperor had several hidden laboratory worlds, with the technology to spawn quintillions of soldiers to conquer the galaxy...
