A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
The Old Republic
Rebirth of a Galaxy
Nearly 4000 years before Anakin Skywalker turned to the Darkside, two Jedi defended the Republic, and led them to victory in the Mandalorian War. They were hailed as heros across all the worlds of the Republic. However, the galaxy would soon remember their names for a different reason.
The two hero's, Revan and his apprentice Malek, turned towards the darkside, betraying their Jedi training and their friends. They unleashed a Sith armada upon the Old Republic, shattering entire planets in their wake. However, in his greed for power, Malek murdered his master, and took upon himself the title of Dark Lord of the Sith.
Yet all hope was not lost and the Republic united.
With the aid of Jedi Master Balista, the Sith forces were driven back and Malek was defeated.
What has been left however, is anarchy. The Republic is shattered and the jedi are scattered across countless worlds. The undisputed trust the jedi order once had has been thrown into doubt and many a knight has found themselves isolated and trapped on worlds across the Galaxy.
The very way of the Jedi is threatened from all sides as remenants of the Sith fleets linger on in Republican space, as Sith lords and apprentice's alike plot ways of defeating their arch enemies, and as civillians strike out in fear of more bloodshed.
Yet there are beacons of hope across the Galaxy. Dantooine is one of them. Only the upper echelons of the academy, and the newest recruits remain in the hallowed halls of the Jedi Academy on Dantooine. With no contact from the High council on Coruscant, the Jedi of Dantooine are charged with not only restoring trust in the academy, but with rebuilding the glaxay itself....
