Part I: The Old Life
.
Chapter 1
.
The stories and legends still spread throughout the galaxy; Sith and Jedi, the epic battle between the two factions. Stories of Sith Lords and their power, stories of Anakin Skywalker and the fall of the republic and Jedi. But even stories of the fall of the Empire, Darth Vader and his master Lord Sidious, the Emperor were distant memories of millennia ago. No being still lived that had been alive during the epic battle over Endor when the Empire's fall began; many, many generations had passed. Both Sith and Jedi alike had rebuilt their forces and made changes learning from the past.
.
The Sith had rebuilt the Koriban academy and no longer adhered strictly to Darth Bane's rule of two. There was still one true master and one true apprentice, but many others were granted the title of Sith Lord but only as a sign of knowledge and power, and only the true master and his true apprentice were permitted to use the title "Darth".
.
The Jedi no longer took children from their homes to raise them in the ways of the force, but instead offered lessons for all those they felt had a connection to the force. Many academies were set up throughout the galaxy to teach those with a connection to the force with a central academy located within a new Jedi Temple on Corisant. When the student was old enough to live on their own they would bring them to specialized academies to begin more focused programs to turn them into Jedi. They had even re-created the trials that separated padwan's form Jedi Knights. The Jedi council also had reformed following many of the traditions of the council of old.
.
Despite changes and adapting new ways to fight an old war many problems of old still existed. Both factions were still not trusted by many throughout the galaxy and despite the Jedi being more willing to use elements of the dark side; they still feared any use of and the presence of the dark side.
