KOTOR III: Twilight War Prologue  

30 years ago, the Jedi Exile, former follower of Revan, returned to the Republic to find that the Galaxy he had left was a dark and broken place. The Jedi had fallen in a great Civil War and those that were left were hunted by a great evil. Gathering companion around hi, the Exile tried to find his way in this broken, place, and searched for the Force that had seemingly abandoned him. In his travels he rekindled hope in the hearts of others, and though betrayed by his mentor, he saved the world Telos, on which the hopes of the Republic stood, and saw the Sith Lords defeated. Then, with his companions, he left the galaxy to follow in the footsteps of his former commander, who had ventured into the unknown regions to take on the Great Sith Empire, long ago abandoned by it’s dark overlords and now ruled by dark Jedi of great power. Revan himself had overthrown the Sith Emperor and now fought to redeem the Sith people, who renamed themselves Revan’ir in his honor. With the aid of his long-separated friend, Revan’s new crusade would soon triumph.

3 years later, a ship bearing some of the Exile’s companions returned to the Republic. Mira, Atton Rand, Brianna, Mical had been sent back to restore the Jedi order and Canderous Ordo had also returned to once again lead the Mandalorian Clans. Re-establishing the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the Exile’s students began to train others under the new teaching that had been set down and codified by the Exile and Revan, and within another ten years the new Knights of the Republic had tripled on number. But they were not the only Jedi. Unknown to even the Exile, a small group of Jedi seers and consulars had predicted the disaster on Katarr and avoided the slaughter that Darth Nihilus had wreaked. They fled to the distant world of Tython, an ancient planet that had seen the birth of the Jedi many centuries ago and renamed themselves the Jedi Bendu after a wise master of the old order. Hidden, they too began to rebuild, though they retained the flawed teachings of the old order that had failed to predict or stop the disastrous Jedi Civil War. Paralyzed by their fear of the dark-side, the Bendu rarely venture off of their planet and spend nearly all their time and training on avoiding the temptations of rash action and blind intervention.

The Republic, having signed a pact with their once enemies the Mandalorians, now have the time and resources to restore worlds devastated by the great conflicts and are once again the greatest galactic government. Due to the Exile’s actions during the Sith Lords crisis they hold the Jedi in high esteem once again, though some individuals in the senate and navy are still wary of them, lest they fall to the Dark Side and start the cycle of destruction over again. After years of peace and rebuilding, the Galaxy is on the mend. The Jedi order, though split is once again vigilant in the defense of the Republic, and worlds once scarred by the terrible wars have at least begun to heal. But in the Dark Forces have not yet been fully eliminated. In the twilight of their power, as the Light side seems triumphant, the last, broken remnants of the Sith Order plot to throw the galaxy once again into darkness.

And one day the Jedi receive a request for aide from the prosperous Outer Rim world of Ennth. A civil war is tearing their world apart, leaving madness, destruction and death in its wake. It began without warning, and it cannot be stopped. The Republic’s Seers agree that agents of the dark side must be behind this chaos, and dispatch a young Jedi Seeker and a special Republic Agent to find out the truth behind this war….
