The Kilian Rangers were a group of Force Adepts found on the planet Kilia IV in the Unknown Regions. They were descendants of Human colonists from the Core Worlds who had settled on Kilia IV before 1000 BBY. The Rangers and their people had lost all contact with the outside galaxy, but this was soon to end during the era of the Galactic Empire. At any one time there were no more than five members, usually one Kilian Lord, two Rangers and two Squires. Unfortunately, at some point the Kilian Rangers experienced a schism, much like the Jedi, and the dark side aligned Renegades were born.
