The Jedi-Bendu, alternatively known as the Jedi Bendu, served within the Galactic Empire as protectors of the Emperor. Following the Great Jedi Rebellion, the Knights of Sith supplanted them, becoming the Emperor's bodyguards and leaders of the Imperial Space Force, while also pursuing any remaining Jedi-Bendu to extinction.
Originally, in the first draft, the Jedi-Bendu were referred to as the Dai Nogas.
