Legend

this was the name given to the struggle to defend the Jedi praxeum, located on Yavin 4, from the predations of Brakiss and the Second Imperium. Brakiss himself believed he was being summoned to Yavin 4 by the reborn Emperor Palpatine, but he later discovered that the Emperors presence was a sham, perpetrated by four former members of the Imperial Royal Guard. Three of them guarded a large meditation chamber, while the fourth used a vast collection of sound bites and holo-clips of Palpatine to create an illusion of his presence. Brakiss, as well as the entire crew of the Shadow Academy, were fooled by the ruse, until the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4 and the Jedi Academy. As Brakiss came to demand why Palpatine was ignoring him, he discovered the trickery of the four guards. He killed the three protectors in his anger, but the fourth escaped. He managed to activate the Shadow Academy's self-destruct systems before he fled, killing Brakiss in the explosion.
