The Bright Sun Clan represents the new identity assumed by the Raining Leaves Clan, a group of Dathomiri witches under the leadership of Kaminne Sihn, and the Broken Columns Clan, a male-dominated group headed by a Hapan individual named Tasander Dest, following their unification.
During 43.5 ABY, the two clans met for their yearly gathering, situated to the north of Redgill Lake, for the purposes of commerce and arranging marital unions. It was at this event that discussions took place, ultimately leading to the decision to merge the two clans into a single entity. An impasse arose regarding the selection of a name for the newly formed clan, but Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker stepped in and proposed the name Bright Sun, which resolved the dispute. This name resonated positively with both clans, owing to its symbolic connection to their respective original names. Subsequently, the Bright Sun Clan engaged in a conflict with the Nightsisters, achieving victory with assistance from Luke and Ben Skywalker, as well as the Solos.
