The following is just a crawl, because you know what? I'm sticking to format on this one. As in KOTOR format. That means
a. There's a crawl.
b. There are new characters, though the characters from the actual games feature much more heavily than the KOTOR 1 characters did in KOTOR 2.
Disclaimer: Unless I made it up, I don't own it. I make no profit from this endevour. This applies to the entire fic.

STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC
EPISODE 3: THE SHADOWS OF THE RIM
It has been two years since FORMER REPUBLIC GENERAL KAYDA JANAR destroyed MALACHOR V, and the Galactic Republic's recovery from the Jedi Civil war is proceeding smoothly.

On the Outer Rim, on the edges of the Unknown Regions, beyond the reach of Republic power, independent planets continue to wage war on one another, to form fragile coalitions and powerful alliances, to turn on and betray one another, barely effected by the troubles of the larger galaxy.

Scouts and explorers who venture into the fringes of the Unknown Region speak of a GREAT WAR, ripping apart a greatcivilization of the UNKNOWN REGIONS, and of a TERRIBLE MENACE rising from the ashes. Seven years ago the Jedi known to the galaxy as REVAN disappeared into the Unknown Regions, seeking the threat that lead her to abandon the way of the Jedi. Two years ago Kayda Janar followed her.
And now, in a forgotten system at the edge of the galaxy, the final chapter of their saga begins…
