After the outbreak of the Great Hyperspace War, Teta supposedly worked alongside the Jedi Order to fight against the Sith, successfully driving back the Sith Lord Naga Sadow and scattering the Sith forces across the galaxy. The Jedi Master Ooroo was involved in the Great Hyperspace War, perishing at some point during the conflict. While the inhabitants of Empress Teta presented the events of the Qel-Droma Epics, including the Great Hyperspace War, as historical fact, archaeological expeditions failed to verify the legends.

After this substantial victory, the Jedi build a new temple over the remains of the Sith shrine, in an attempt to rid the planet of Sith energy, and pledge their service to the galaxy as enforcers of peace in the newly formed "Galactic Republic."
