- "I kind of get the sense that the name is saying, We break with the traditions of the past that made us slaves."
"That's exactly right. Columns representing society as it was before. A failed way of living." - ―Ben Skywalker and Tasander Dest
The Broken Columns Clan was a group of men, led and founded around 33 ABY by the Hapan-born Tasander Dest on the planet Dathomir. It was the only clan of men that did not attack the Raining Leaves Clan, a tribe of Dathomiri witches, shortly after the massacre that befell them. The two clans established a new custom: they convened every year near Redgill Lake and arranged marriages that lasted one year. Male children were handed over to their fathers, while female children remained with the Raining Leaves Clan.
History
In 43.5 ABY, during the year's annual conclave, Dest married Kaminne Sihn, the leader of the Raining Leaves Clan. The two clans later merged to form the Bright Sun Clan.[1]
