Galactic History 71: The Muur Talisman

As the Mandalorian Wars raged, Zayne Carrick escaped the Jedi Covenant, falsely accused of murdering his fellow Padawans. While hiding on Taris, Carrick encountered Celeste Morne, one of the Covenant’s shadow operatives. Morne was searching for the Muur Talisman, a Sith artifact that could turn humans into monstrous rakghouls. Morne attempted to arrest Carrick but was interrupted by a Mandalorian raid.

Realizing the Mandalorians had found the Muur Talisman, Morne and Carrick stowed away on the Mandalorians’ ship to Jebble. The dark talisman possessed Morne, and she began using it to turn the Mandalorians into rakghouls. Horrified, Carrick finally persuaded Morne to see reason. She agreed to be sealed away in an oubliette to protect the galaxy from the talisman’s corruptive power. The oubliette was lost when the Mandalorians razed Jebble; however, Carrick spoke of the Muur Talisman–and rakghouls–to another Jedi, Alek… later known as Darth Malak.

Galactic History 72: The Fall of the Covenant

The Jedi Covenant’s attempts to prevent another Sith war had led its members to horrific acts, culminating in the murder of their Padawans. It was too much for the seer Xamar, who left the Covenant to aid Zayne Carrick, the Padawan framed for the crime. Together they went to confront Krynda Draay, the founder of the Jedi Covenant, and her son Lucien, Carrick’s former Master. At the Draay mansion, Carrick discovered the real culprit: Krynda’s aide Haazen, a fallen Jedi who had been manipulating the Covenant.

As Lucien and Carrick dueled, Haazen used an override in the Republic Navy’s weapon systems, intending to destroy the Jedi Temple and the Council. At the last minute, Lucien overcame his anger, helped Carrick escape, then used Haazen’s override to bombard Haazen’s position instead. Haazen was killed; Lucien survived, suffering serious injuries. Zayne Carrick’s name was cleared, and the Jedi Covenant was finished.

Galactic History 73: The Battle of Malachor Five

Ignoring the Jedi Council’s disapproval, the Jedi generals Revan and Malak had gone to war against the Mandalorians, gradually pushing the warriors back. After lengthy maneuvering, Revan chose the planet Malachor Five as his final battleground. As Republic and Mandalorian ships clashed, Revan challenged Mandalore himself to single combat and defeated him, claiming the mask that was Mandalore’s symbol of leadership.

Meanwhile, one of Revan’s generals enacted Revan’s fearful plan, activating a superweapon called the Mass Shadow Generator. The Mass Shadow Generator destroyed not only the Mandalorian fleet, but most of the Republic ships and much of the planet Malachor Five. The Republic suffered horrific losses, but Revan, hardened by years of war, saw it as a necessary price for victory. Leaderless, the remnants of the Mandalorian fleet fled into the Unknown Regions, with Revan and Malak in pursuit.

Galactic History 74: Revan and Malak Fall

Finally, the Mandalorians had been routed. The Jedi generals Revan and Malak had killed Mandalore and hounded the remnants of the enemy fleet far beyond the boundaries of Republic space–and in so doing, performed terrible deeds and learned dark powers. But there were darker days to come. During Revan’s pursuit of the Mandalorians, he and Malak discovered the ancient Sith Empire hidden on Dromund Kaas.

Realizing this Empire was the true threat to the Republic, Revan and Malak faced the Sith Emperor himself, intending to cut off the serpent’s head–but the Emperor was too powerful. Overwhelmed by the Emperor’s dark presence, they pledged themselves to his service. The Sith Emperor anointed Revan and Malak as true Sith Lords and sent them to seek out the Star Forge, an ancient alien space station capable of producing powerful starships and droids.

Never revealing the existence of the Emperor, Revan and Malak then returned to the armies that had followed them against the Mandalorians, armed their loyal servants with the Star Forge’s weapons, and marched to war against the Republic.

Galactic History 75: The Jedi Civil War

Revan and Malak, once great Jedi, had turned to the dark side and sought to conquer the Republic. With an infinite fleet produced by the Star Forge space station, they seemed as unstoppable as the Mandalorians. They took control of entire systems and established a new Sith academy on Korriban. This time, the Jedi Council did not hesitate to act. The Republic lured the Sith Lords into battle against a small fleet. This allowed a Jedi strike team led by Bastila Shan to board Darth Revan’s flagship. Darth Malak had plans of his own.

Having grudgingly taken his role as Revan’s apprentice, he decided to usurp his master. With the Jedi providing a perfect distraction, Malak fired on Revan’s flagship, destroying the bridge. Malak claimed the title of Dark Lord, not realizing the Jedi strike team had survived and taken Revan–injured, but alive–as their prisoner.
