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 the Sith…

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

the 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,

Jedi Master Vrook Lamar[3] has lead a small group

to try and bring peace between the native Qisstin [4]

and the mining interests on this mineral rich, arid world. Czerka Corp[5] 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…
