Prologue
For twenty years the Mandalorians raided planets on the far reaches of the Outer Rim. Then they attacked the planet of Onderon and its moon Dxun. In the dangerous jungles of Dxun, the Mandalorians built a base.
The Republic Fleet attacked the Mandalorians. The Republic suffered heavy loses as the Mandalorians continued their attacks on numerous planets within the Republic. The Republic turned to the Jedi Order asking for their assistance. The Jedi Masters denied the Republics request.
A group of Jedi Knights and Padawans demanded to know why the Council would not aid the Republic. The Jedi Masters explained that they felt that the true threat had not been revealed yet, and it would be too dangerous for them to enter in this war. Revan was outraged. She could not understand how the Jedi Council could call themselves keepers of the peace and then just sit there as the ruthless Mandalorians slaughtered millions of innocent civilians.
The Republic continued to suffer heavy casualties. They felt it was only a matter of time before they lost the war and feared the Republic would be taken over by the Mandalorians.
Revan had been keeping track of the war on the holovids. Furious that the Jedi Council still refused to go aid the Republic in the war, she decided to gather all the Jedi who wanted to go. With the help of her best friend Malak, they found several Jedi who wanted to go to war and stop the Mandalorians.
Joining these two Jedi Knights Revan and Malak were Jedi Knight Arren Kae, Padawan Allisha, Jedi Knight Tavlon Esan, Padawan Nisotsa, Jedi Knight Cariaga Sin and Jedi Knight Xaset Terep. Together, these eight Jedi defied the Jedi Council and went to war.
The Republic Fleet was relieved when the eight Jedi came to their aid. The war soon turned in favor to the Republic, due to Revan and her great battle tactics. She made great sacrifices in order to bring even greater victories. The Mandalorians were constantly being outmaneuvered both in space and on the ground.
The last days of the war were brought to the planet of Malachor V. This planet was taboo to the Mandalorians. Revan had led the Mandalorians to Malachor V to use the Mandalorians own superstitions against them.
