Invasion of Yavin IV and finding of Exar Kuns Tomb:
Summary: As the Republic and the Jedi attempt to gain ground before Revans Sith Empire the high masters of the Jedi Order search for the lost secrets of the Sith. They soon learn that Corellian Smugglers have dug up an ancient set of Sith ruins on the fourth moon of the planet Yavin. A taskforce quickly arrives and after a breif skirmish set up a Jedi Enclave and Troop Center near the ruins. While several attempts are made to enter mystic powers kill all squads of soldiers sent while wounding the Jedi. Soon Grand Jedi Master Vandar Tokar arrives to discuss the ruins with Jedi Historian Hujah Faytre and Republic General Jason Dondanna.
Cinematic Dialouge:
Hujah:[Sitting in chair in high council chamber across from Vandar] "Thank you for coming so quickly Master Vandar. It is a very peculiar situation we are in. There are some forms of mystic powers protecting the ruins that kill our troopers and nearly kill our jedi." [He stands up and examines an instrument on the desk while jedi train around them.]
Vandar:[Dismisses a padawan bearing drinks.] "What exactly has been happening to the forces sent in there? And at what point do these happenings occur?"
Dondanna:[Signals a soldier to hand him a datapad and walks over to Vandar.] "Reports from survivors say that some of the men saw figures in the shadows when they approached the entrance. Others say some dropped dead as soon as they stepped inside. Jedi said that once they stepped inside they began to lose their sanity and sense of the force. Some were thrown right out of the place by some force." [He hands the datapad back to the soldier and returns to a map of the area.]
Vandar:[Strokes his chin thinking deeply] "I sense that the Dark Side is protecting the ancient ruins. We shall see what fate brings our way."
End of Dialouge
Some days after this it is learned that Revan has found out about the ancient ruins as well as the Enclave. He sees it as an opportunity to gain more knowledge of the Dark Side as well as deal a crushing blow to his enemies. He readily prepares an invasion force to attack while the Republic knowing that Revan has discovered the base at Yavin IV sends a fleet to defend the moon from the enemy. The Jedi and General Dondanna set up defense lines while evacuating the Enclaves Younglings and archives. In the meanwhile Revan sets out to strike before they are ready.

After the bombing Revan lands his troops. He has his soldiers kill the troopers while he, Malak, and his Sith warriors cleanse the Enclave of any remaining Jedi who survived the bombing. Soon after he enters the ruins without trouble and he and Malak travel to the center of the structure where they find a large sarcophagus. As they near it a figure appears in front of them. It is the spirit of the Great Sith Lord Exar Kun.
Cinammatic Dialouge:
Ghost of Exar Kun:[Stands in front of them shimmering.] "Another seeks knowledge of the ancient Sith. Who seeks me? Speak."
Darth Revan:[Stands defiatly before Exar Kuns spirit.] "I am Darth Revan the Dark Lord of the Sith. This is my apprentice Darth Malak. We seek powers that will easily destroy the Jedi Order."[He draws his lightsaber but does not yet light it.]
Ghost of Exar Kun:[Raises his hand causing the door to close.] "It is the simple power that was used by the first Sith to great success during the Jedi Civil War. The power of persuasion. What is better than turning your enemy against their own. To use their own knowledge against them is the greatest power of all." [Then he began to disappear while simaltainiusly opening a door to a library behind him and the entrance. Before he was gone he whispered to Revan quietly.]
End of Cinemmatic Dialouge.
Youll see the rest when it comes out. These epic battles come also at key times in the campaign but its different depending on which faction you choose like for example the one i just listed is for the sith faction. They will be available in Multiplayer, Skirmish and will replace missions in the campaign. In Galactic Conquest you can select whether or not they will occur. If you want to make your own war then you dont want to turn it on. But if you want a controled war then turn it on. you can also do it if you want both
really awesome dude! =)
Thanks and their will be a lot more including famous ones such as the battle for the starforge and the capture of darth revan.
