The Battle of Geonosis resides in the hearts and minds of many within the Republic. Many of the Jedi Order were killed, causing massive promotions among the ranks of untrained force users. The policies regarding training of padawans were relaxed, due to the sheer number of deaths to be found on Geonosis. From the ashes of the dead on Geonosis, a separatist group called the Order of the Tevura staged a coup on the planet Mygeeto, led by one Jhoren Vanis. The former apprentice recruited the discontented in droves, his own numbers just below those of the Jedi. The Sith, responding to the swelling number of Force Users, abandoned the Rule of Two, many returning to the Old Ways. The Old Ways of training in the styles of long dead Sith Lords.
