Disclaimer: If you think I Own anything more than the Idea of this Fic or the Characters I've created for it, then you should consider getting a CAT scan…. =)
Authors Notes 1.0:
This Fic Keeps Fairly Close to both Ranma ½ & Star Wars Cannon, but several things veer away from cannon of both, Don't flame me for it, this is the First Crossover Ever of Ranma ½ and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, some of the changes may seem strange, but please bear with them, they are used to blend the two better and make the fic more interesting.
Think of it as an alternate reality of the two fused universes, much like a "What If" in a way.
Also, this Fic is not written for the "Hardcore Star Wars Fan" but instead is aimed primarily at the Mid Level/Casual Fan.
Although I do highly recommend that you have played Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic & watched at least some Ranma 1/2 before reading this fic.
Authors Notes 1.3:
It seems like every time I start to work on this fic that life throws me a curve ball or 2, none the less I am back and once again continuing and improving the fic.
No matter how long it takes I will finish it, no need to worry about that.
And as a thank you for checking back on this fic here is a early update of the prologue and chapter 1,
"Guardoflight" and "Shadowshear" I hope the structure change makes it more readable for you and everyone else, thanks for the reviews!
Enjoy the Fic & keep the Flames mild.

True Origins
Prologue
Revan had defeated Malak and destroyed the Star Forge, and as a result saved the Republic from certain doom. It was finally over...or was it? Revan had a strong but elusive feeling that this was not the end of the threat that the Sith posed.
Some months later, Revan had been slowly recovering his memory of his past, his Original Jedi training, his accomplishment of passing the Council's Trails and being granted the title of Jedi Knight, and his defiance of the Council out of frustration over the Council's inaction. he discovered at one point of his returning memories that it was not simple frustration that drove him to defy the Council, instead it was due to the countless lives the Mandalorians were ending each minute, there...voices screaming out through the Force for Help, only to suddenly be silenced.
There were very few among the Jedi who could sense such things, and he was one of them. he remembered approaching Master Vrook and asking for guidance in dealing with the cries for help that he felt within the force, Vrook was Unfortunately his usual self and since he did not sense these cries himself all but ignored Revan and told him "he had no time for such nonsense" and walked away.
Revan later remembered asking Master Vandar the same, Master Vandar said he did not know how to help, but promised to speak with the Council on the matter, Revan took hope in this but before Master Vandar could speak with him again he was sent to Coruscant on an urgent matter, Revan remembered that it was shortly after that was when he defied the Council and went to war.
The next day he went before the Council and told them of what he had remembered had driven him to go defy them and go to war; they agreed to help him in overcoming that hardship for which he was eternally grateful.
Two Months later, Revan failed to appear at the Coruscant Jedi Academy for the Class he was teaching, a day later the Council grew concerned and sent newly appointed Jedi Master Jolee Bindo to check on him, Jolee Found Revan in his apartment, unconscious, and deep in what appeared to be a Vision, Revan awoke nearly a week later in the academy Medical Bay, he'd had a massive amount of memories return to him, after the Doctors had cleared him to leave, he immediately requested the Council to meet with him, his request was granted immediately.
Revan told the Council of all the memories he had recovered, he told them of Investigating Malachor V after it's destruction and finding the Trayus Academy and of it's overwhelming power of the dark side, and of how it stripped him of the power of the light side of the Force and gave him the ultimatum of using the dark side or dieing, he told them of something he later discovered during the time he had vanished, far beyond known explored space he had stumbled upon the a Race only known to other sentients of the surrounding sectors as the True Sith, a race so powerful in the dark side and bloodthirsty that the Sith they knew of appeared more like harmless Gizka in comparison. after telling the Council all of this and more, the Council sent him back to his daily tasks while they
discussed these...…disturbing revelations.
Three days later the Council called Revan before them, they gave him the task of finding the so-called True Sith and finding a way to stop them, but he was not allowed to take anyone with him or tell them why or where he was going.
Revan left that evening after briefly contacting his companions from the war against Malak.
he did not know if he would ever return from or survive this mission, but he did know that it was the will of the Force for him to carry out this task, balance had to be obtained.
Approximately 10 Years Later...
In the distance we see two Jedi fighting through hoards of hideous creatures that radiated "Pure Evil" in such a manner that they would be deserving of the Earth title "Demons", but they are what are only known to others as the "True Sith" no one has ever been able to find the actual name of their race, if they ever had a name in the first place.
The two Jedi, were Revan and his current student, she is a Echani by the name of Rhea Vand who Revan encountered on his Travels, Revan was reluctant at first to allow her to accompany him, but felt it was the will of the Force that she went with him.
It wasn't long before Revan discovered she like himself had unlimited potential in the Force and as a Jedi. during Rhea's training Rhea and Revan found themselves growing quite fond of each other, and Rhea as Revan had predicted had become a powerful Jedi who was firmly on the path of the Light side of the Force.
While they battled side by side against the True Sith, there relationship was what kept them on the Light side of the Force.
It was a bond through the force that had formed between them that extremely few Jedi had ever experienced. at this point in time Revan and Rhea are fighting there way to there ship on the Homeworld of the True Sith, and things are not looking so good at the moment, but Revan and Rhea tirelessly mowed down the Sith in there path.
as the two are nearing the ship Revan turns to Rhea and asks
"If we survive this, would you Marry me?"
Rhea undistracted from battle replied with a warm smile that went unseen
"I was hoping you would ask, yes I will."
After a long and intense battle, they had finally made it to their ship and into orbit, back on the planet a device the Sith were planning to use on the Jedi, that Revan and Rhea had stumbled on and sabotaged was triggered seconds before the ship went into hyperspace,
the device permanently obliterates the ability of the entire inhabitants of a system to use the force, the Sith Homeworld had every one of the True Sith present in that system for a gathering to plan an invasion on the Republic, not one of the True Sith Escaped the effects of the device, the bulk of threat of the True Sith posed was now gone, although they could no longer use the Force, it couldn't stop them from teaching those who could.
Revan and Rhea were married about a week later, their honeymoon they decided to have at some point during their return trip to republic space, as they began their way back to republic space, they initially were going to travel the way that Revan had came, but something in the Force was drawing them to go a different route that at first appeared to be shorter.
about a month into the return trip, Revan and Rhea came across a system that had signs of civilization on only one of its planets not only curious, but drawn by a feeling in the Force they decided to have a closer look, disaster struck shortly after they passed the planet nearest to the inhabited one, their ship was flying heap of scrap at best and a ticking bomb at worst.
Why didn't they have the Ebon Hawk? some might be wondering. some time before meeting Rhea, Revan had sent the droid TM34 with HK47 as a guard with the Ebon Hawk back to republic space to report his findings to the Jedi Council, and if TM34 could not locate the council or any other Jedi, it was to try to locate a exiled Jedi he served with in the Mandalorian wars, he bought the ship he and his wife now used not long after.
It wasn't much of a surprise when the Navi-Computer's main power relay overloaded and sent a surge that destroyed both the Hyperdrive control unit and Shield Generator, the ship had never broken down this badly when nowhere near a repair dock, and the chances of those two systems simultaneously failing were remote at best, they felt such a systems failure could not have been anything but the will of the force.
with these systems out of commission they would not be leaving this system, they had no choice but to land on the nearest habitable Planet and hide the ship until they could repair it...if it could be repaired.
they hid the ship in a large and quite well hidden cave on an island southwest of a much larger Island, when Revan and Rhea first encountered the inhabitants of a village on a larger island not far from where they had hidden there ship they were surprised to find that the inhabitants of this planet were Human and some spoke Basic as well as the common local language, although the locals called Basic "English" on this world and it oddly used an entirely different character set, during there stay
they eventually learned that this island was a part of a small nation known as Japan.
Revan and Rhea traveled to mainland Japan and eventually to the capital city known as "Tokyo" that they had been told of, they traveled there to find shelter and possibly a means to repair their ship, as they traveled towards Tokyo they took various jobs to build up enough Japanese currency to survive and try to repair their ship, as they traveled they also learned a great deal about this world from various sources including local Archives called Libraries, and unfortunately they learned that this world was not yet advanced enough to find any of the parts they needed to repair their ship.
strangely the technology to make the parts existed but for reasons unknown this world had yet to build more than the most primitive of spacecraft, once they reached Tokyo they found a apartment to rent they set to find out if they could at least build the parts they needed themselves.
a little over 8 months later Rhea was in the local Hospital, not for anything bad mind you, quite the opposite actually, about 2 hours later she was holding her newborn Son with Revan by her side with a huge smile plastered on his face, both Revan and Rhea could hardly believe that they were now parents of a beautiful little baby boy, once visiting hours were over the baby was taken to be cleaned and Revan was ushered from Rhea's room the nurse suggested he go and get something to eat from
a nearby cafe and they would have a place set up for him to stay with his wife, he agreed and went to the cafe.
Elsewhere, Genma was in a blind panic, he had lost Ranma, he had taken his newly born son with him to the local bar to show off to his drinking buddies while Nodoka was asleep, he woke up from a drunken stupor 2 weeks ago only to find Ranma was gone, he couldn't find him anywhere, it hit him as he was heading to the police station to report it, Nodoka is still to weak, she will not survive if she finds out! then a idea hit him in his fog of fear, hey, I can just get another baby from the hospital and everything will be ok until I can find Ranma and off Genma goes to the Hospital,
Genma under the Cloak of the Umisenken sneaks into the maternity ward and just grabs the first baby boy he sees and sneaks back out and heads for home. Genma did not directly intend any harm to Revan Rhea or their son, so neither sensed him at all, not as if Genma could actually fool a Jedi, much less two Jedi.
About an hour later, Revan returns to the hospital only to have a nurse take him to the side saying that she had bad news, not knowing what the problem could be, he followed the then Nurse explained to him that someone had broken into the Maternity ward and stolen his son.
Revan sat down in shock, after he had regained his composure he calmly said
"I have only 2 questions, has my wife been told? and do you know who did it?"
the nurse answered both,
"no, your wife has not been told we decided it would be best for you to tell her, and no, we do not know who did it, whoever it was, they knew exactly where the security cameras were and unplugged them"
Revan thanked her then took a moment to gather his thoughts before he went to tell his wife the disturbing news, on hearing the news Rhea was to shocked and heartbroken even to speak and cried herself to sleep, Revan not once leaving her side, not even for a few seconds.
after Rhea had been discharged from the hospital it took nearly two months for Revan and Rhea to come to terms with their loss, all they could sense of their son was that he was alive and well, they still did everything they could to locate him only to result in dead ends, no, locating him would not happen until he actively used the power of the force, or until it was the will of the force for him to be found, they were certain it was only a matter of time, but they just hoped that would not take to long...
