RPGNET Knights of the Old Republic PBP

It was suppose to be a time of peace for the Republic…

40 years after the Sith Wars, the Republic and the Jedi have

slowly recovered from those dark days when corrupted Jedi almost

destroyed everything... making right that which the darkness had threatened.

The Republic had once again started exploring and expanding,

into the unknown with a renewed sense of joy and optimism. A new

golden age was promised and seemed to be at hand. But then the dark rumors

began... Mandalorian Raiders and pirates were said to be attacking Outer Rim worlds

and colonies. Separatists and rebels threatened peaceful worlds with strange and unreasonable

demands. Criminal organizations were rumored to be buying off corrupt politicians in the Republic Senate. And

then there were the whispers of Jedi once again falling into darkness and the return of that most ancient enemy the Sith...

Four thousand years before the rise of the Galactic Empire, it is a dark time

for the Old Republic. Mandalore the Ultimate [1], leader of the Mandalorian Neo-Crusade,

has lead his people to conquest many of the undefended Outer Rim Worlds. While it started as simple

raids, it has escalated at present into a bloody stalemate along a war front that stretches thousands of light

years. Most Jedi have remain out of the fighting, believing they can better serve the Republic as protectors and guides,

not soldiers. But not all agree and there are many who have flocked to the banner of the Jedi Knight and General Ravanchist[2].

On the Mid Rim World of Qisstan’goth Prime[3], Jedi

Master Vrook Lamar[4] has lead a small group to try and bring

peace between the native Qisstin[5] and the mining interests on this mineral rich,

arid world. Czerka Corp[6] and the Independent Mining Consortium are near open war with the

natives, and Master Vrook has been tasked with negotiating a peaceful outcome to the various complaints.

But little do the Jedi know that not all is as it would seem on

Qisstan’goth Prime, for a dark shadow that was thought long dead has awoken

and it has set into motion plans that may well see the sands of this world run red with the blood of all…
