Chronicals of Revan
Four thousand years before
the rise of the Galactic
Empire, the Republic verges
on collapse. DARTH MALAK,
last surviving apprentice of
the Dark Lord Revan, has
unleashed an invincible
Sith armada upon an
unsuspecting galaxy.
Crushing all resistance,
Malak's war of conquest
has left the Jedi Order
scattered and vulnerable
as countless Knights fall in
battle, and many more
swear allegiance to the new
Sith Master.
In the skies above the Outer
Rim world of Taris, a Jedi
battle fleet engages the
forces of Darth Malak in a
desperate effort to halt the
Sith's galactic domination…
After a battle with the Sith, the former Dark Lord Revan—after being captured by the Galactic Republic and having his identity replaced with that of a normal Republic soldier —woke up to find himself one of the lone survivors on the Republic ship, the Endar Spire commanded by decorated war hero Carth Onasi and talented Jedi Bastila Shan. Trask Ulgo, a Republic Soldier, aided Revan's escape from the doomed vessel and splits off to face Darth Bandon sealing the door behind him, buying Revan time to escape. After entering the starboard section plus finding an escape pod and Carth, he crash-landed on the Sith-occupied and single-city world of Taris. Carth was able to drag the injured Revan from the wreckage to an abandoned apartment in the Upper City. Revan was unconscious for a few days.
When Revan awoke, Carth informed him that they would need to find and rescue Bastila Shan, a Jedi whose escape pod had crash-landed somewhere on the planet. Bastila was the key to the Republic's war effort against the Sith due to her ability in battle meditation, a Force power that allowed her to strengthen an entire army with confidence and spirit, while discouraging and confusing the enemy. They set out to find Bastila, proceeding cautiously in the hostile world.
Revan and Carth eventually learned that the escape pod had landed in the Undercity of Taris—a rough area below the privileged Upper City and the slums of Lower City where rival swoop gangs, the Hidden Beks and Black Vulkars, were engaged in a fierce gang war. This gang war, plus the search for any survivors of the Endar Spire prompted the Sith to impose a security lockdown, forcing Revan to disguise himself as a Sith soldier to gain entry to the area.
In the Lower City, Revan and Carth went to the Hidden Beks' hideout, where they found out from the leader of the Beks, Gadon Thek, that the Vulkar gang leader Brejik had taken Bastila captive, intending to offer her as a prize for the winner of the upcoming swoop race. Gadon agreed to sponsor Revan as the Bek rider, on the condition that he retrieve a prototype swoop-bike accelerator that has been stolen from them by the Vulkars. In order to get to the back entrance of the Vulkar Base, Gadon told him to find the Twi'lek girl Mission Vao and her Wookiee friend Zaalbar, who were supposed to know the way in, but in the Undercity of Taris, the lowest level of the city where criminals and refugees were exiled.
Ironically, Mission needed their help, as they learned when Revan and Carth ran into her. She and Zaalbar had been attacked; while exploring the Undercity;by Gamorrean slavers and Zaalbar had been captured. Mission agreed to help them infiltrate the Vulkar Base if they help her find Zaalbar. Eventually, they managed to rescue Zaalbar from the Gamorrean slavers, and when Zaalbar was freed, he swore a Wookiee life debt to Revan.
Mission then led Revan into the Vulkar Base, where they managed to retrieve the accelerator after a confrontation with Kandon Ark, then returned to Gadon and the Beks, staying the night before going to the swoop race the next morning. At the swoop race, Revan managed to win the race, but Brejik broke the deal at the last moment, claiming Revan had cheated by using the prototype accelerator. A fight ensued, and Revan was only saved when Bastila Shan broke out of her cage and assisted him in killing Brejik and his Vulkar thugs.
Rescuing Bastila, the party began looking for a way to get off Taris through the Sith blockade, when a messenger came to their apartment, telling them that a Mandalorian mercenary, Canderous Ordo, wanted to speak with them at the upper city cantina. When they got there, Canderous proposed that they could steal the Ebon Hawk, a freighter belonging to his employer, Davik Kang, who worked for the Exchange. But first, they would need the security passcodes to get through the Sith blockade, and the only place to get these codes was from the Sith military base. To gain entry into the base, Revan would have to purchase T3-M4, an astromech droid that Davik had had programmed with the entrance codes to the base.
After purchasing T3-M4, the party broke in and killed the Sith Governor to steal the passcodes. After getting the passcodes, Canderous took Revan and one of his companions to Davik's estate. When they arrived, Canderous told Davik that Revan was a potential candidate for the Exchange to hire. After getting inside, the three opened the hangar doors and proceeded to steal the Ebon Hawk. At the same time, Darth Malak, the Dark Lord of the Sith that was leading the Sith after betraying Revan, ordered Saul Karath, Admiral of the Sith Fleet, to bombard Taris in order to prevent Bastila from escaping. As Revan and his companions were getting to the Ebon Hawk, they were confronted by Kang and the galaxy-wide famous bounty hunter Calo Nord in the hangar; they killed Davik, and left Nord apparently dead under rubble caused by the Sith bombardment. Gathering all of his companions, the soldier took the Ebon Hawk and escaped the Sith onslaught.
After this, Bastila realized Revan still was very strong with the Force and took him back to the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine to see if the Jedi Masters would train him as a Jedi. They did accept, and he finished his training after doing battle with Juhani; a young Jedi apprentice who had been influenced to the dark side of the Force. After defeating her, he succeeded in convincing her to return to the light side. After Revan had passed the trials and had become a full-fledged Padawan, he explored Dantooine and found a temple built by the Infinite Empire—there he learned that this was what had influenced his former self and Malak to the dark side. Also within the temple was a droid, that required Revan pass two tests about planetary conditions before proceeding further into the temple. Revan completed these tasks and was granted access into the room containing an incomplete Star Map, which when completed would lead him to the Rakatan Star Forge, where Malak was building his immense Sith fleet. The Council charged Revan with the mission to find the Forge, accompanied by Bastila, his companions, and Juhani.
Unknown to them, Calo Nord had survived the carnage on Taris and had provided information to Darth Malak about Bastila and her companions. The Dark Lord agreed to hire Calo Nord to bring Bastila before him.
Revan Traveled to all of the star map worlds and gathered the information. In his travels he gained the follower, Jolee Bindo, and HK-47.
As the party left Manaan, they were caught in a tractor beam by Admiral Saul Karath, Carth's old mentor. While they were being pulled in, they discussed how to escape, and Revan picked a member of his party to come and save them from capture. After deciding, the Sith captured all of them. Revan, Bastila, and Carth were all put in cages, and were interrogated by Saul Karath himself. Bastila refused to submit to Karath's questions, so he questioned Revan instead. Every question he answered incorrectly, Bastila would be tortured. Revan begged Saul not to hurt her, but Bastila convinced Revan that "her pain was meaningless," and to tell Saul nothing. After Saul left, Carth told Revan that it was all just a sham, and hopefully the party member selected could save them.
The party member was able to infiltrate the Leviathan, and get many weapons in the process. In the prison block, they found a Rodian who would help them if they freed him. The party member agreed and got the ice breaker from the Rodian, who left shortly thereafter. The party member used the ice breaker to open the area that contained Revan and the others, and they got their equipment, after Canderous volunteered to take the group to the Ebon Hawk and get it ready to launch, while Revan, Bastila, and Carth moved to the bridge to disable the shields at the hangar bay.
After getting to the bridge by walking through the repair bridge on the outside of the ship with environmental suits, Revan, Carth, and Bastila confronted Admiral Karath and his men on the bridge. Admiral Karath revealed that the Dark Lord was coming, and Bastila could sense this as well. A battle followed, with Saul near death. Karath told Carth that he wanted him to know something, and he whispered into Carth's ear, and died. Carth confronted Bastila about what was whispered by Saul, and she said she would explain everything onboard the Ebon Hawk. He agreed and they rushed for the hangar bays, hoping to get there before Malak arrived.
However, as they were about to reach the hangar, they ran into the Dark Lord, and he told Revan something that he had not discovered: his true identity as the former Dark Lord of the Sith, and as such, Malak's master. Bastila said that it was true, and as the trio were about to fight Malak, he froze Carth and Bastila using Force Stasis Field, leaving Revan to fight the Dark Lord by his lonesome. He nearly defeated him, causing Malak to use Force Whirlwind on Revan so he could retreat through a series of blast doors, and when Revan confronted him again, he was fully healed. After the duel, he used Force Stasis Field to attack Revan, and Bastila charged in, telling Carth and Revan to find the Star Forge, and disappeared behind the now locked blast door. Seeing nothing else that they could do, Revan and Carth ran to the Ebon Hawk, and after a skirmish with Sith fighters, the group learned the truth about Revan, and HK-47 reacquired the functionality of his memory core, which was programmed to activate when he found his first master, which was Revan.
Armed with the location of the Star Forge, Revan and the rest of the crew of the Ebon Hawk arrived at the co-ordinates shown on the Star Map, only to become trapped in a power disruption field which forced them to crash-land on the planet that was the source of the disruption.
They discovered the planet was a graveyard of crashed ships, many of which had been stripped and looted by other voyagers affected by the power disruption field. Damage to the Ebon Hawk required that Revan find repair parts as well as the source of the disruptor field; not only would the field prevent the Ebon Hawk's crew from escaping the planet, it also would effectively cripple the Republic fleet on its way, after being notified of the location of the Star Forge and the Sith fleet protecting it. Revan and his companions found that the world was inhabited by the native Rakata.
The source of the distruption field was a temple guarded by priests who remembered encountering the Dark Lord some years ago. Darth Revan and Darth Malak had come seeking the Star Forge but crashed due to the disruptor field. They had used their Force skills to subdue the populace, forcing the natives to grant Revan information about and access to the Star Forge. Once he had taken control of the stellar factory, Revan began the path of conquest and the chain of events that had led in inevitably to his downfall and redemption. Calling on the aid of the natives he had apparently abused somewhat the first time round Revan gained access to the temple with the help of Juhani and Jolee. Revan found his way to the disruptor field controls only to be confronted by Bastila who had fallen to the dark side. She had sworn herself to Darth Malak's service, Malak having preyed on her arrogance and pride to convince her that the Jedi were using and holding her back.
In a tense confrontation Revan found himself forced to defend the way of the Jedi from the very person who had been most responsible for his redemption. Bastila, at first hostile, tried to seduce him back to the dark side, even going so far as to pledge her loyalty to him and promising him that she would use her battle meditation in his service, and be his Sith Apprentice, if he would retake his place as Dark Lord of the Sith. Despite her temptations, Revan rejected her offer. Bastila fled, swearing that their next encounter aboard the Star Forge would be their last.
Escaping the temple and rejoining his companions, Revan and crew joined the Republic assault on the Star Forge knowing that the fate of the galaxy would rest on their victory. However, for Revan, the battle would be a personal conflict since saving the galaxy might mean taking the lives of at least two close friends now turned to evil.
The Ebon Hawk crew joined in the Battle of Rakata Prime, the Republic assault on the Star Forge led by Admiral Forn Dodonna and Master Vandar who were mystified by the sheer size and efficiency of the Sith fleet. The two commanders were horrified to learn from Carth Onasi that the reason for the Sith fleet's ability was Bastila's defection to the Sith and her use of battle meditation against the Republic.
To counter the threat presented by Bastila, the Republic commanders came up with a desperate plan. The Ebon Hawk led a strike force of Jedi through the static defenses of the Star Forge. Only a handful of ships actually survived the run to land safely on the Star Forge's flight deck where the Jedi were hemmed in by Dark Jedi backed by the station's battle droids. Eventually Revan and two of his companions found themselves alone against the bulk of Darth Malak's entire fighting force. Revan and his companions battled wave after wave of Assault troops and Dark Jedi, some of them wielding Force powers and combat abilities at the highest levels of proficiency.
Finally, Revan would be separated from his companions and left to confront Bastila alone. Bastila drew on all her skills and the dark power of the Star Forge, but she was still unable to defeat Revan. Revan decided on a risky tactic. He left himself open to Bastila's attack counting on there being something left of their bond of love and the light side in her. His gambit worked and Bastila lowered her defenses and finally admitted not only her intense doubts that had provided Malak with a hold on her, but also her love for Revan as well. Bastila promised to use her battle meditation for the Republic Fleet and Revan left her to confront his old friend and apprentice—Malak.
Malak tried once more to delay Revan by unleashing more battle droids upon him but Revan proved to be quite resilient, reprogramming the production machines even as he battled wave after wave of droids, finally stopping the machine and allowing him access to the factory floor where Malak awaited him.
Malak had used the technology of the Star Forge and the bodies of Jedi he had captured during the sudden and brutal attack on Dantooine to create an unholy marriage of sorts. By keeping the bodies in stasis he could draw on their life force to empower himself, maintaining his life and power at maximum levels. His hope was to use this stolen power to defeat Revan and then to use Revan's matchless potential in the same way.
Revan and Malak commenced to battle. Each time Revan seemed to be defeating Malak, he would flee the battle and reenergize himself from the stasis pods around the room. Revan quickly began destroying the pods, freeing the Jedi within, allowing the Jedi to become one with the Force and denying Malak their life force that would regenerate him. Eventually Malak was forced to rely on his own dark power. Revan would display a grim determination that would be spoken of in reverence years later by Brianna, who would wax poetic about the battle and her frustrated desire to have been a witness to the events that transpired that day. Revan finally succeeded in defeating Malak and as his one time friend perished Revan expressed remorse over the part he played in Malak's corruption and fall into darkness. Malak would admit at the end that he alone had chosen to continue down the path of darkness.
Revan would flee along with the rest of his companions, barely escaping the final destruction of the Star Forge. The entire group would be awarded the highest citations of bravery and Revan himself would be welcomed back into the Jedi Order.
