Galactic History 76: Revan is Remade

Throughout Jedi history, the order has always refused to execute prisoners. When the wounded Darth Revan–the fallen Jedi responsible for countless deaths and acts of war–was captured, the Jedi Council saw an opportunity to stop Revan’s successor, Darth Malak. Using the Force, the Jedi reprogrammed Revan’s mind with a new identity–that of an ordinary Republic citizen.

Alongside Bastila Shan, a Jedi gifted in Battle Meditation, Revan began seeking out Rakata star maps, unwittingly retracing the path to the Star Forge battle station that served as Darth Malak’s secret weapon. Along the way, Revan retrained as a Jedi and learned of his terrible past. Aboard the Star Forge, he saved the life of Bastila Shan and faced Darth Malak in battle. Finally, Revan struck Malak down, ending a galactic threat and the Jedi Civil War.

Galactic History 77: A Return to the Unknown Regions

With Darth Malak gone and the Star Forge destroyed, peace returned to the galaxy. The Republic and the Jedi began regaining strength after the Jedi Civil War. But for the redeemed Jedi Revan, peace was fleeting. Old memories began to surface–fragmented memories of the lost Sith Empire building strength on Dromund Kaas.

Revan knew that the Sith would not remain in the Unknown Regions forever, and that the Republic was not strong enough to face them. Finally, Revan made a decision. After leaving behind instructions with allies like Bastila Shan and Carth Onasi, Revan left for the Unknown Regions hoping to put an end to the Sith Empire. He was never seen again.

Galactic History 78: The Sith Triumvirate

In the chaos after the Jedi Civil War, new Sith began to rise up, inspired by the likes of Exar Kun and Darth Revan and unaware of the Sith Empire still hidden on Dromund Kaas. Three lords stood above all others: Darth Nihilus, whose hunger devoured all life around him; Darth Sion, whose shattered body was held together by hatred; and Darth Traya, once a Jedi Master but now the Lord of Betrayal.

These Sith Lords ruled from ancient Sith ruins on Malachor Five. Darth Traya was the most senior of the three, but when Sion and Nihilus united against her, she fled Malachor Five and took the name Kreia. Darth Sion created an elite cadre of Sith assassins, eroding the already-weakened Jedi from the shadows, while Darth Nihilus began roaming the galaxy, seeking the life energy of Force users to satisfy his insatiable hunger. The Republic’s short reprieve was over.

Galactic History 79: The Conclave at Katarr

Dark times had come to the Republic. Reconstruction from the Jedi Civil War was still ongoing, and the Jedi Order’s numbers were dwindling. Worse, many Jedi sensed a new Sith threat emerging but could not pinpoint the source. Finally, the Jedi Council called a conclave on the Miraluka colony of Katarr. The order’s Masters, including the legendary Vandar Tokare, gathered to discuss the possibility that the Sith had returned.

They did not know that Darth Nihilus, a being of pure hunger and dark side power, was approaching the colony. Drawn to the assembled Masters, Nihilus devoured the life energy of everything on Katarr. Millions of Miraluka died, along with most of the Jedi Order’s senior members. Walking Katarr’s lifeless surface later, Darth Nihilus came across the only survivor: the traumatized Miraluka Visas Marr, whom Nihilus took as his apprentice.

Galactic History 80: A Return from Exile

During the Mandalorian Wars, many Jedi disobeyed the Jedi Council to follow Revan’s call to arms. But only one Jedi returned to face the Council’s judgment. The so-called Jedi Exile had been one of Revan’s generals, and she was responsible for the destruction of Malachor Five. Having lost all ability to feel the Force, the Exile accepted the Council’s sentence of banishment and left to wander the Outer Rim.

When she returned years later, the Jedi had all but vanished–slain by mysterious Sith assassins or driven into hiding. Simply by returning, the Exile became a target for these Sith and was hounded to the remote Peragus system. After meeting a mysterious Force-sensitive named Kreia at Peragus, the Exile began searching for any surviving Jedi Masters to discover what they knew.
