Around this era, ancient pyramidical vessels known as the Tho Yor took Force-sensitives from numerous worlds and brought them to the planet of Tython where they became the Je'daii Order. On the world of Korriban, a species of red-skinned Force-sensitives known as the Sith came to power where they made use of the Dark Side of the Force. In time, the Jedi and Sith were two Force traditions that developed but there were others shown to exist including the Witches of Dathomir, Fallanassi, the Jensaarai, the Aing-Tii Monks and others. During the Legacy era, a new Force tradition was shown to had emerged in the empire with the rise of the Imperial Knights who served the Galactic Emperor as bodyguards and devoted to ensure both their protection along with them staying on he lightside of the Force.
