In the year 3962 BBY, Dorjander Kace, a one-time Jedi Master, along with his adherents known as the Mandalorian Knights, faced a public trial held on Coruscant. While the devastating Mandalorian Wars consumed the galaxy, Kace, convinced that the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders were destined for victory, switched his allegiance to them. He then tried to supply them with their own Jedi Knights by abducting Jedi apprentices from the Jedi Enclave located on Dantooine. However, his scheme was thwarted by Zayne Carrick, a former Jedi Padawan, leading to Kace's capture by Jedi Master Zhar Lestin. Throughout this ordeal, Kace remained steadfast in his convictions, asserting the justness of his mission for a duration of nine hours.
